You had to know Marchand was scoring when in pregame Ken was saying hasn't scored a goal yet...
Rass needs to put his shoulder down and drive the far post there, use your f***ing size

Seriously, like f*** take it to the net, you may score, and if you don’t you are probably drawing a penalty. Instead he takes a bad angle low percentage shot.
Me too. He’s been so mediocre this season. He’s had some good stretches but not enough to call it improvement. He was better in a lot of ways last year.
That said, our bottom six has been a nightmare this season. It’s so dysfunctional. Underperforming vets, younger players struggling to find their identity, scrubs, rookies, and all-in-all, very little chemistry between those guys. Not many meshing styles (which is arguably another indictment of our pro scouting). Plus two different coaches for the season. So I haven’t completely given up on him yet.
He needs a big off-season though. People say he needs to get bigger but he clocks in at 5’11 and 197. That’s on the thicker side if anything. That’s Crosby size. So he doesn’t need to get bigger, but he does need to fire his personal trainer because his mass gains haven’t translated to strength gains, at least not where he needs it. If he could make a big jump in that department like Raymond did, he could make strides on the ice.
But ultimately if we move on from him, I’m not going to cry.
It would be a blessing…Lose the remaining games - try to get in the best possible position for the draft.
He needs to become more explosive. He has the brain and the talent but he doesn’t pull away or isn’t able to create space for himself with his feet so he gets closed off on plays consistently
Ras and Veleno are both good examples of how their game from the Jr level never changed in order to be useful at the NHL level.
Both should be throwing the body, get in their opponents grill, let them know you’re there.
I’d just assume see Ras traded away for more draft picks this summer.
It’s frustrating because Rass shows glimpses of it, but he’s just so damn inconsistent
OK.
Popped over to the liquor store (is Liquor's Quicker still a thing in Ypsi?) because this game is making me want to get drunkarino.
I can't imagine a crappier game than basketball.
I stumbled into this song last week and can't stop listening. I am nothing if not timely (it's 12 years old), but it's gonna be a great "things are getting faster" track to sample for background roleplaying games.

It’s incredibly difficult putting together 4 good lines when you only have 5 good forwards total.
Yep, actually would have liked to at least see Berg-Kasper-Ray then just throw the rest of the misfits together

I don't think Wings can be eliminated tonight. Doesn't Montreal need to get a point for it to be official?
Please just lose out.
1. For the better pick
2. So yzerman can’t say we were close, a 12 point regression should hopefully send a loud and clear signal to his ass
