I think @RoyIsALegend already nailed it with "Didn't like our skating".

You mean love, didn't love our skating? Sorry... am pissed off.

Yes

This team still has issues with adversity. They look decent until that first goal went in, then they slumped back into their pity party mode.

Sometimes games like these happen, especially after a roadtrip. Dissapointing but on to the next one

 

[chet1926]

They refuse to work for a goal. Like go to the dirty areas and get something slimey. Everything has to be a perfect sauce over 5 sticks to someone not open type bullshit.

It's f***ed, they completely folded tonight after 1 puck luckily bounced in off our skate tonight. They are quitters and complainers. They don't fight, they just give up. They might as well just coast the year of the regular season, they aren't going anywhere unless they decide that need to compete on a nightly basis, which won't happen because no one on this team cares.

The only reason they came back against Buffalo is because Buffalo sucks and they made some lucky pretty plays.

 

[drhiii]

The PP is now 6 for their last 49 now.

No this is this teams MO. They quit and complain when things don't go perfectly. They need to grow up and start acting like this is their job and show up to compete every night instead of quitting when the other team gets a lucky bounce.

I don’t know how you can say this team gives up after allowing the 1st goal when they’ve been doing that all season and making come backs and win games. It’s not a good recipe for success, but they’ve done it plenty of times. This loss has more to do with coming back from a long, tough road trip and just not having the legs to play their game.

No they are just lucky that they have the talent to play like shit and still win games.

We just went 4-1 on the road and played great hockey. This isnt the 1st time a team comes back from a long road trip and just doesn’t have it and loses that 1st game back. I expect the Avs to be much better on Saturday against the Preds

But other than all of that...... they are a pretty good team......... lol! (Sarcasm)

 

[jabubenice]

The word is, it was not the goalies; the team is just shit!!

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

This team is f***ing lazy. There is no other way to slice it. If things don't go perfectly they pack it in. Not sure how this changes.

Leadership.

It's badly lacking............ No on-ice Captain for 3 season now. Incredibly stupid self destructive decision making.

Except every game outside the lucky ass Buffalo game went perfectly for them, there was no adversity. 99 times out of 100 if the game doesn't go perfectly they fold faster than you can blink.

Again, how many come back wins we have this season?

Yep they have no accountability. It shows out there. 29 or 8 i don't care, this no captain shit has to end, and 92 isn't coming back.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

The rust is in his sinuses and the only way to fix that gets him back in the program unfortunately

It does look like he needs a fix........

I mean. Factually this is false. This team is a top 10 team for most come from behind wins this season. And when weighted by the actual goal deficit, they rank third. Doesn't sound like a team that quits to me. This team hardly ever quits. But they do have games like tonight where they are just out of sync with each other.

 

[Peter Peckerwood]

Nah, that’s more of a solo game

Dammit, I would be an all star after a meteroic rise. Heh heh heh, you said rise.

 

[dahrougem2]

Meh, these games happen.

Obviously I want to win every game but after a 4-1-0 road trip, this looked like a trap game against a Utah team with a good track record against us the last several years.

Onto Nashville.

 

[the_fan]

If we play like this vs Nashville and lose again, then it’s a problem. This one is forgivable because again, it’s not easy to come back after long road trips and have your legs. Happens all the time

 

[RoyIsALegend]

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Surprisingly not that unhappy. Sounds like his team played, tired, and apathetic

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Should not have traded away future C Byram.
