NOTES:


- Villata called up from Tucson.
- Yams in the lineup
- Carcone out.
- Veggie starting...... (again)

No point in breaking veggie. The playoffs ain't happening.

 

[TheLegend]

Damn......

Gassed in OT. Florida had the speed advantage.

You waited the entire game to tell me that????

 

[PuckLife]

Need to change up the pp.

The players showed some courage hanging in there tonight. Veggie got them the point, but the skaters worked hard. Unfortunately we either don’t have enough talent, or don’t use what we have correctly or both.
Boy, I’d sure like us to get Bennet.

 

[Mangosteen]

I think it's Bennet we will be going after. Lol Pronget for Bennit trade

Two games in Florida, one goal.
None of our Dmen are physical. I'm not asking for like Trouba or Kronwall stuff, but jeez, they just let the other teams skate right past the blueline. I'm like, is Housley still coaching the team?

It's obvious we lack talent. There will be 3-5 changes for next year. Who leaves and who comes in is anyone's guess. Bennet is great, will cost a fortune but is the type of player Utah needs.

yes. I think I drank the talent kool-aid the organization puts out ( I dont blame them), but like you said, its obvious we lack the requisite talent when we skate against the oilers, the lightning, the panthers, etc., or even an inspired redwing team.

Kesselring can bring it

I once (earlier this season) posted the question "will Keller embrace his inner Patrick Kane and start shooting more" and as if he read my words, he indeed did, the very next game. I wish I'd have made that query yet again prior to the Oiler game. Point being, so much offense goes through him, he sets the pace and the pp in particular needs that desperately. I firmly believe the Oiler game would have looked much different had we capitalized on at least one, of what I believe were two early pp's. Last night he was slightly better on the last, or second to last pp and we were far closer to an actual result, than we've been for some time now. Perfect practice makes perfect and let's face it, these are practice games.

Despite what Naych_PHX posted, I believe we were more physical (D included) early in last nights tilt and I also believe that was extremely helpful. I can agree, it's not enough. We need to be big, mean and forceful, which is what I thought BA was going after.

All in all a pretty good game for an obviously mentally exhausted team, that's still on the learn.
