I loathe losing in OT at all, but the quick ones are the worst. Didn't even get possession.

Yeah I'm salty as fug.

4-4-1. Clearly worse than last year. Purgatory.

Is the season over already?? When did they shorten it?!

I was hoping they'd reduce it to 70ish games but 9 seems kinda extreme.

That weak penalty call with a little under 2 minutes left basically decided the game.

We needed to have capitalized on our chances earlier in the game. Should have been 4-1 going into the third. They continue to look better though.

Lazlo Hollyfeld · 2024-10-27T21:05:28-0400

He apparently has 3 points in 8 games but I can't really remember a time I've noticed Tarasenko on the ice so far this season.

ShanahanMan · 2024-10-27T21:05:29-0400

I honestly don’t see Ed as a top pair defenseman on anything but a bad team. He’s constantly losing coverage and ends up chasing his guy and being behind the play. I think it’s a speed issue. Middle pair guy at best.

Hard to be upset about it. Back to back against a top team you take the point. .500 with their opening schedule is definitely nothing to be upset about, especially considering the bug thats been going around the dressing room.

Thats probably the best game the wings have played this year

A great game on a B2B, but the refs were sort of... shall we say, a little inconsistent, there were a few easy even-up chances they did not call late in the 3rd, that if called, may have lead to a different OT outcome, that's what made me not happy :thumbd:

sorry, I refereed for a few years, so when I see a PP team interfere with a defender going for puck that they would get to, I would have called it. But I guess it was Drais' birthday...

Anyway, hopefully the flu bug has wormed its way through everyone and we are starting to see what the team will be.

Pretty much the same as Kane, very small samples they make a play that leads to a goal. But as for 5on5 it's not great.

Snuggs · 2024-10-27T21:10:52-0400

Weak to blame the game on the refs. Just my opinion. Should have been in the lead earlier.

I'm happy with the point, OT was a let down though being like 10 seconds or whatever.

Weak to excuse the refs. Just my opinion. Should not f*** up calls all game long.

But Kane I actually have noticed out there even when he's not scoring. Gun to my head I could not tell you one thing Tank did this game. It's like I've got a Tarasenko blind spot or something.

I remember him not shooting when he should have. That's about it.

I noticed him more tonight than I have most of the season. Not saying much, but there might be something there with Burgs and Kasper

KJoe88 · 2024-10-27T21:20:38-0400

I think will eventually see how valuable Perron was to this team. Crazy how we let him go for Tarasenko.

Idk wtf is going on with this team. But I’m over it. We’re losing key points and these guys are letting these slip away.

OneMoreTry · 2024-10-27T21:22:30-0400

Being 4-4-1 is actually pretty good, considering the SOS so far and the flu circulating. Thankfully the goalies stole two games.

Stick tight till thanksgiving at least pal. We'll have a good read by then...

I haven't had a good feeling about this team all summer but you've got to give them a shot... They're actually still right in the thick of things early.

I don't think it should be a surprise how valuable Perron was to the team in terms of puck battles and experience.

In a vacuum I take Perron over Tarasenko for sure. Maybe Yzerman didn't want 2 years of Perron? Which I can understand since he's 36 years old. He's slow as molasses now. Imagine him at the end of next season.

It's early yet but for me it's more how Tarasenko has been mostly invisible.

He seemed noticeable the first few games, but he seems to be passing up on shots he should be taking...not making excuses for him but something seems off, maybe he was one of the skating flu bug forwards Lalonde referred to...

Anyway, for a Left shot, he is a natural right wing, Newsy needs to play him there, even if it is on line 3. If the flu bug has run its course, maybe the wings can get 4 lines rolling...

Perron was indeed to slow for me to be interested anymore. But they do need guys like that because the board play can be really soft. MBN is a good step but that helps not coming anytime soon.

PelagicJoe · 2024-10-27T21:39:12-0400

Well, we definitely look better without Gustavsson. I'd be ok with switching out Petry for Holl sometimes too.

Oddbob · 2024-10-27T22:21:34-0400

Well I thought that was Ed's best game, though he could have been much MUCH tougher on Drai on the OT goal.

Great first period, too bad we didn't keep it up the rest of the game.

I think Tank can sit for a bit, as he has done next to nothing this whole season.

I think you genuinely might be watching in a different multiverse

Pretty interesting post game interview, especially Copp

what decided the game was the fact that we did not give 60 minutes of effort at playing in all three zones and we haven't once this entire season thus far. our goaltenders have been the only players consistently giving effort. this has never been a sustainable model for success and we're at major risk of going on a prolonged skid should that change. until we make meaningful improvements to our defense and overall scoring acuity winning is going to be tough.

Kane looks much better when Copp replaces Tarasenko . At this moment Tarasenko is overpaid third liner , trade him and bring someone from GR instead
