Svechnikov is playing like dogshit right now. He really needs to start being held accountable for this kind of shit play. It's a combination of not having his head in the game and also trying too hard.

Trying to play the hero pretty much cost us any hope of a decent scoring opportunity in OT. I'm not sure what to do, you can't bench him, but this shit cannot persist.

3 losses against legitimately one of the worst 2 or 3 teams in the league this year.

That's not f***ing acceptable. And they absolutely deserved this loss, they were the worse team tonight.

Get out of your feels. Take a walk. Think about why you're so angry.

Detroit might be "one of the worst in the league" in terms of standings, but that means nothing if you aren't willing to come out and out work them. They're young, and fast. Detroit was routinely out working Carolina tonight. There were a lot of loose plays too. Stuff that doesn't happen against Florida or Tampa.

Sure, f*** the refs but they didn't play remotely well enough to earn 2 points.

Terrible OT followed by a more miserable shootout...pretty garbage game overall. Mrazek wasn't good, defense wasn't good, passing in OT was abysnal

I’m a pretty negative person in general, but some of you guys need some Xanax or something. Hoo boy.
Thing is, I'm not even that mad.

I'm just super disappointed in the effort. Svech is becoming a problem, and tonight it culminated in a disastrous OT for him. Our shootout efforts left a lot to be desired. And worst of all, Mrazek has a bad game.

If it was just one game against Detroit, that would be one thing, but this is the 3rd loss against them this year. Our effort just isn't there against this team. Shows we are overlooking them as an opponent and not taking them seriously. I don't like that at all.

Well, it was a good run. It’s understandable that the Boys may not bring 100% against a Team like Detroit, who probably go all out.

Not saying it’s right, but understandable. I’d rather see them come out of these games with no injuries and compete hard in spurts than the opposite.

A silver lining, I believe, is that it gives some players a flick in the nose to get them going a bit harder next game.

I don’t see anything concerning about this, just an inhale during a compressed season for the players and perhaps a little reset for Petr with his comeback.

Thank you @MrazeksVengeance for letting me fill in for you with the GDT’s during your studies. Thank you to everyone for the kind words for my style & letting me deviate from your “low effort” norm here.

I hope you’ll be open to me doing more in the future. If so, just let me know when. I haven’t seen a schedule like some Boards have.

I plan on hanging around with you folks in the meantime anyway.

Cheers

Wait, did they call Necas "Nechy" after the interview?


Ugh, of all the nicknames, they went with that?

Also, I like the attitude he had in the post game. Glad to hear the team is pissed about this. Hope it shows on Monday.
