That was nigh unwatchable.

 

[Torrey Redux]

That was nigh unwatchable.

Let's face it, even when they were "good", they were still pretty unwatchable.

 

[PolishPrince21]

time to fly something over UBS like they did at metlife

 

[MJF]

At $4M it would be pathetic. At $9.2M it's criminal.

And if that weren't bad enough, whatever the retro mojo Lee had going on while Barzy was out seems to have disappeared now that he's back. Hmm.

Lee became invisible in Chicago.

Not even a thanks for watching goal?

When will Roy say something about Lou?

When he wants to be put out of his misery.

How are we doing with the "respectability" and "relevance" that Lou supposedly brought back to the Island. We still ok there?

It’s going back the other way.

i am here in Raleigh...and not a chance i was going to torture myself in person...at home is bad enough.

I'm here in Raleigh and I did torture myself. What a completely uninspired, uncaring performance. This team is horrific, and they know it. Honestly, Malkin should pull the trigger now. Hire a new GM, let him bring in a coach, and then start the roster sell off. Pathetic.

 

[I Loveallsports]

Blow it up. Long overdue

 

[beach]

I'll assume this is a joke.


If not then you don't realize that they are...And just have a terrible (and getting worse) roster.



STARTING!??!


It's gone.

They absolutely did not try tonight. No physical contact, no emotion, nothing.

Right on. I try to be as optimistic as possible, but what a pathetic effort.

I know they’re not but they play like they are daring the GM or Owner to do something.

 

[periferal]

If that's the way you see it then I honestly don't think you appreciate how far outmatched and not talented this roster is.

I do appreciate how untalented this team is, but that doesn't explain lack of effort. Either way, they're toast. Blow it up and start from scratch.

Usually if you're being outworked you don't outshoot the other team. Takes a bunch of effort to do that.

That said totally agree this cannot continue and a massive youth movement is necessary ASAP (before Lou resigns everyone into their late 30's).

 

[IslesNorway]

Stopped watching after two periods, but the ineptitude in front of goal is sickening. They created plenty but they just lack the quality to finish off.

Just watching the player interviews after the game....the only emotion vibe i get coming from them is that they are defeated and have accepted that this is the way it will continue to be. It is almost the opposite of a coach losing a locker room...not sure what to call that....i really do not get the feeling they care one way or the other and their attention to detail on the ice shows it.

OH.....and i shut it off after the second....truly has been a long time since i shut off a game.

 

[YearlyLottery]

I am not a turn the game off type of guy but this season there has been at least 4-5 times where once the first goal is scored I just turn it off.

 

[Rehabguy]

Roy trying to instill a modern upgraded system with Lou's obsolete players. Good luck with that. But that's 2 points closer to a better draft pick so there's that to be happy about.

 

[Top Corner]

Isn’t this kinda the same roster when some were saying we were one or two players away ?

That's if he doesn't trade the pick. Which he's done in the past.

Part of the problem. Special teams and D zone are at the forefront of our issues

 

[Torrey Redux]

The fact that were losing doesn't bother me anymore, I figure it gets us one step closer to Lou gone. But then I think that the latter may not be true and that really makes my blood boil. They're just going to let him sit there and eat his cottage cheese while Rome burns. A latter day Nero. Hell, I can't even enjoy the Raggies implosion while this state of affairs exists. Well, maybe a little.
