I was talking about the second shot not the first, he had a clear pass to the guy in the slot but decided to spin around and play with the puck

My internet has been a little choppy and sometimes I miss a good 10 seconds at a time. That was the only play I seen so I assumed that was the one you were talking about. I must have missed the other one though.

MattyMo must be sippin on some Bud Lights tonight. :laugh:

Only a few :laugh: Seriously, though, he's been completely invisible the last few games. Just sit him for a game or two, let him catch his breath, and come back strong.

He had an assist last game and tonight he had a good scoring chance that was stopped by brad Stuart's stick

Out of curiosity what has Hitch done? Tarasenko has been terrible the last three games. Schwartz has looked much better.

He needs to play more. He hasn't been as bad as people make him out to be. If you want to talk about a player being invisible, start with Backes.

Tarasenko has looked drained for a few games now. I think he needs a few days away from hockey just to take in everything that has happened in the past month and move on from there.

He's been playing plenty. He doesn't need to be handed ice time. Schwartz has been forced to earn his, so why shouldn't Tarasenko? Other than his assist last night Tarasenko hasn't done squat. I'm not worried about the points. I haven't seen any compete level or explosiveness. Nor have I seen much of a defensive effort. I would like to see him get a little power play time, but it shouldn't just be handed to him. My point wasn't about Backes but I think everybody would agree he needs to be better. But he has not been invisible. He's still making some plays

Yeah, no. Backes has been doing a hell of a lot more than Tarasenko lately and it isn't close. And yeah Backes has been aggravating too.

I'm glad someone said it. It's about time the Tarasenko ass kissing died down a bit. He should get criticized just like anyone else. I know he's a rookie, but that didn't stop Schwartz from getting criticized, or Berglund or Pietrangelo when they were rookies. He has to make more of an impact on the game than he is, he's not the Russian Jesus.

I normally do not have a problem with Pierre and I accept him for what he is, but does he realize there are 2 teams playing? I dont think he has talked about a sharks player all night. It is getting annoying. He spends more time obsessing about the Blues than Panger and pang gets paid to do it.

Who is saying he is? Looking like some people want Tarasenko to fail.
