Been too many games this season where it looks like no one was ready to play. I get this has been a weird year and all, but something is broken somewhere, and it needs to get fixed asap.
Thankfully we lost, so DJ Smith will finally consider making some changes to the roster. We might even have another JBD sighting!Abramov in
Dzingel out
Please

It's great that Brady thinks that way, but I'm pretty sure most teams would be completely fine taking him off the ice for 5+ minutes. I'd much rather see no retaliation and a PP instead of two guys wrestling for a bit before they get off-setting penalties. Having pests in the lineup to stir the pot makes sense because most can contribute in other ways these days, but having one-dimensional JB in the lineup isn't stopping anyone from taking runs at our star players.
Also, get out of here with the "society has gone soft" nonsense. It's almost like people prefer not watching guys have their brains turned into custard for our amusement.
This is what happens when you have a dishonest coach.Been too many games this season where it looks like no one was ready to play. I get this has been a weird year and all, but something is broken somewhere, and it needs to get fixed asap.
Said Pierre Dorion have play goalie in a Christmas skate, couple years ago. Would have be so funny
I agree, compared to the two shutout wins earlier, the main differences were Special Teams and goaltending. 5 vs 5 is now pretty solid and well organized, but also fairly toothless offensively.Disagree with a lot of the takes in this thread. The pp had some really good looks, but was overall disappointing. I think we looked good 5v5, especially Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson. That line had some tremendous shifts, and it had me super stoked to see them after putting in some hard work in the off-season. Mete had a surprisingly good game offensively, really activating for some good give-and-gos. J. Brown showed he had some patience with the puck, which was encouraging. Chabot didn't make me yell at the TV even once, something he was making me do 3-4 times a game earlier in the season.
I think this was a decent effort from the boys. The special teams sucked, but we showed well otherwise. With the loss, we now potentially get to see JBD, Abramov, or maybe one of Bishop or Amadio draw in. Looking forward to the next one!
I missed the last two periods but it sure sounds like Hogberg did OK considering the situation he was put in.
The goals he let in were a bit soft but he kept the team in it in the dreaded "last game of a road trip" when it was pretty clear the mojo-level of the entire roster was low.

Thought the team looked off last night. Can't put my finger on it, but they weren't firing on all cylinders and I thought the energy level was a little lower than the last few games.
They are having bad luck with goalies getting injured lately - strange luck.
They looked shit. The passing was awful. Communication was worse.
Chabot has really been cutting down on mistakes after we added other players who can get out of the dzone
Mostly they're going to be Vancouver homers.
Love how SN gives us these biased commentators for national broadcasts.
Whitey! Makes up for his earlier blunder. Great to see.
Guess Brannstrom and Hawryluk didn't get along last year in their half season together.
Cowen looked like a surefire top pairing D when he was at the WJC, from what I remember.
You never had one of those?what's a one timer
