[Satan]

This is saddening

 

[MetalGodAOD*]

And there was your chance. Stalock makes his save, Lindback doesn't.

 

[Bjorn Le]

When was the last time this team had a good backup? Thomas sucked. Bachman sucked. Raycroft sucked. Auld sucked. Stephan sucked.

Got to go to Mike ****ing Smith to the last time we had a good backup. Remember when we traded for Brad Richards? LAST time we had a good backup.

 

[Satan]

Oh my god.

 

[TestGrave]

SCEVIOURRRR.... OMG!!!!.... I just shouted so loud... omg...

 

[OttMorrow]

You just have to laugh at this point.

I don't know how much I can blame Connauton for that. He blew a tire in the same spot Pavelski blew one. Then in the corner again. So either his skates stopped working or he's completely discombobulated.

Now they look absolutely flat and it's bad.

He "Blew a tire" at the offensive zone blueline right before that. Connauton is too overzealous with his skating.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Can not believe this. Absolutely can not believe it.

We've discussed this so much already... We got a single great year out of Raycroft and Bachman both.

 

[Noodletoro]

Seriously this has to be a coaching issue. Something is ****ed with the team and it isn't just Lindback or our defense.

You can't coach talent. Coaching isn't going to make Lindback into a NHL quality goaltender. Coaching isn't going to get Hemsky out his slump. Coaching can only do so much to improve this defense.

There are 3 NHL quality d-men on the entire roster. Daley, Goligoski, and Dillon.

Jordie Benn is terrible. He is repeatedly on the bad end of shots against and takes bad penalties.
The skating corpse of Sergei Gonchar and K-Conn are nothing but warm bodies at best

I mean we might as well call up Klingberg and give Oleksiak or Jokipakka top 4 minutes if the defense is gonna be this bad anyway. At least those guys have plenty of room for improvement.

 

[Bjorn Le]

Lindback would have given up a goal on every single shot there.

 

[OttMorrow]

Lindback would have given up a goal on every single shot there.

Haha. Yes, he would have.

It needs to be stated every day until Lindback is gone.-

Raycroft and Bachman were OK backups in their good years. They weren't great.

 

[Elysian]

Come on Ralph, everything surprises Lindback.

 

[NukeJukes43]

You just have to laugh at this point.

Yep. It's a joke. This isn't half the team we watched last year.

 

[Satan]

****

Their stats say otherwise, they were pretty excellent for a single season each.

 

[Bjorn Le]

A positive to be taken here is the offense, despite the fact they can't capitalize, is looking better.

 

[Satan]

Come on Ralph, everything surprises Lindback.

My thought as well

 

[Bjorn Le]

.910 save percentage is excellent? I remember this board was eating Turco alive when he had that save percentage.

It's an infinite see-saw.

 

[Elysian]

.910 save percentage is excellent? I remember this board was eating Turco alive when he had that save percentage.

For a backup, .910 is most definitely excellent.

 

[Scorponox]

Why does the other teams goalie look like they are having the best game of their life when they play Dallas?

 

[Elysian]

We're going to get 40 shots and lose again aren't we.

 

[Bjorn Le]

When Stalock looks as awkward as Lindback his defense bails him out. When the Sharks defense looks as awkward as the Stars Stalock bails them out.
