Why are they interviewing Dvorak about scoring goals? That's like asking Steve Wonder about painting techniques

 

[zx81]

Time shorthanded this season.

 

[windycity]

perfectly said

Guhle has been horrid, hope he picks it up

 

[Whitesnake]

There is nothing more fun to wait until the leftovers of Bergevin are gone.

Those veterans are freaking useless

Gallagher Anderson Armia Savard Dvorak

No I don't care if two of them have a decent season for once in 5 years.

Well...are Anderson and Armia useless or decent?

 

[The Great Weal]

More often than not, Gally's line is getting caved in and he's the main reason why. I know he's a ball of energy and can still score 15 goals/year, but he's hurting us.

 

[Theodore450]

The Guhle incident looked weird, it looks like he turned his back on the puck.

I blame Savard for the most piss poor puck retrieval and pass that got them stuck to begin with.
Savard has looked finished all year. Wouldn’t be surprised if he retires at years end

 

[Kennerback]

Marty needs to quit Dvorak.

Laine was pretty rough on the PP.

Laine always tries these nifty trick plays and misses half the time. Idk if there’s any hope fixing that. Upside, is he scores lots of goals.

 

[zx81]

Marty needs to quit Dvorak.

Laine was pretty rough on the PP.

Dvorak is the new Hoffman

 

[Rapala]

Not a great 1st.

Some positives:

2 great PKs
#1 PP was looking good
Dach line is going
Evans line was good with Beck
Dach got a good scoring chance
Caufield with 2 good scoring chances


Negatives:

Atrocious 1st by Guhle, issues handling the puck
Dvorak & Gallagher are getting caved in
Bad Matheson tonight
#1 line isn't doing much
Slot coverage needs to improve

They need to stop playing like they are afraid to lose.

Well...are Anderson and Armia useless or decent?

It depends on what time of the day (game) you ask.

 

[Whitesnake]

It's really really really early...but I don't see Beck being able to follow the pace right now. But it's early, early, early.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Sigh these penalty problems need to be cleaned up. I swear it feels we're the most penalized team in the league.

We're 5th or 6th for PIMs, but 1st for shorthanded minutes.

 

[austin316]

We’ve been quite impressive with regards to bouncing back after a sloppy period. That was one of our worst periods we’ve played lately, lucky to be only down by 1. We will see how they respond.

After we unload him for a 2nd at the TDL

 

[HuGo Sham]

way too easy for TB. Not hitting, taking dumb, lazy pims, not beating trap by dumping pucks deep and playing physical and getting traffic in front of vasilevskiy

Time shorthanded this season.

That's crazy.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

More often than not, Gally's line is getting caved in and he's the main reason why. I know he's a ball of energy and can still score 15 goals/year, but he's hurting us.

How many years left ? Three ?

 

[Habs10Habs]

It's really really really early...but I don't see Beck being able to follow the pace right now. But it's early, early, early.

Agreed, but I still hope he's kept up with the big boys for a little while longer.

 

[overlords]

Then they interview dumbas Dvorak! My TV is on mute. First question better have been "Holy f*** bud! The f*** are doing out there eh, bud? f*** sakes bud!"

I read this in the Shoresy voice!

 

[Theodore450]

After we unload him for a 2nd at the TDL

I doubt anyone is paying a 2nd. I think it’s a buyers market

TB came to play tonight. We were not ready for it for some reason.

 

[JimBoKW]

The Guhle incident looked weird, it looks like he turned his back on the puck.

That's because he lost it and was looking for it.

 

[Theodore450]

Agreed, but I still hope he's kept up with the big boys for a little while longer.

Yet fans are ready to give him
Evans ice time as early as next season

 

[OldCraig71]

The boys didn't have much jump in period one and penalties are killing the flow. I can't fault the refs on any of them, they all looked legit to me. They have to get moving and stop watching the Lightning skate around them. A few big hits would help the legs.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Not needed in the future. Trade asap
