That f***ing Pettersson play along the wall sums up his whole season. Just absolutely zero give a f***, he deflated after missing the net.

 

[Zombotron]

sigh... bub...

Battle level is just way too low. Panthers without their two best players and it’s still even at even strength. Opposite of what we saw last year.

Miller needs to pull his head out of his rear end - his passes have consistently been all over the place these first 4 games which doesn’t allow that line to have any flow to their game whatsoever.

 

[wonton15]

Every single player looks slow as hell (other than like 3 guys). What is happening? Lol

 

[EpochLink]

Bains on this team makes this team makes me wanna punch the wall.
Send his ass back to the AHL, I don't give a flying f***.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

A lot of meh in a that period.

Players who don't look horrific include: Garland, Hughes, Blueger

A whole lot of guys I did not notice do much of anything.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Why we hating on Bains when he makes 1/10th of the salary Sleepy Pete makes.

I don't hate Bains. Although, I really don't see him as a NHL player yet. What I hate is Tocchet's obsession with gifting him top six spot when he hasn't done shit to earn them.

A. Bains: 5:33
J. Debrusk: 5:30

That. That's what I hate.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Garland is quite easily our best forward right now. Nobody else looks like they can skate at the NHL level.

The negative reaction to Bains is absolutely fascinating. This is the first time, ever, I’ve seen this sort of reaction to a homegrown rookie getting an opportunity.

He’s looked pretty good offensively I’ve though, had struggled with a couple defensive reads which is par for the course for a young player.

Bains doesn’t look nearly as bad as the reaction he’s getting right now would warrant. He’s distributed the puck fairly effectively and isn’t standing out as better/worse than his linemates. He’s had a couple missed assignments, but so have several players. The team as a whole looks sluggish right now, not sure why we’re singling out Bains.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

This is a completely different team from last year. I dunno what happened but hopefully the boys can figure it out.

Bains doesn't belong with this group now, feels like they are forcing him cause BC BOY DAMNIT.

? We've been hammering Pettersson, Miller, Heinen. Bains is getting more minutes than Aman.

 

[Bgav]

Opposing teams get into spaces and get off clean shots against us. It seems impossible for the nucks to get a clean shot off

 

[moiderer]

Pretty decent period with some things to clean up (PP, defensive coverage).

The fact that our top guys haven't popped and we're about even with a FLA team without Tkachuk/Barkov.... checks out.

Lots of Bains hate but if he wasn't getting high leverage minutes on an already struggling line on a winless team, I think there wouldn't be so much frustration. Doesn't look like he'll ever be a fast player but needs to make the right reads and get into positioning early to stick around. Tough position for him to be in and learn right now.

 

[VanJack]

Every time this Canuck defense handles the puck in its own zone, it's 'heart in your mouth' time.

Never seen a team more vulnerable to a hard forecheck than this group. Word seems to be out around the league.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

This is a completely different team from last year. I dunno what happened but hopefully the boys can figure it out.

This is how everyone expected them to look last season. I have no idea how everything went so right up until January.

 

[ProviesGhost]

Shut up everyone, Luke Gazdic is on. Maybe you'll learn something if you pay attention.

I think players also feel the same.

This might be a blueberry problem.

I think back to when Jack Hughes let Myers get to the puck first and waited on the boards until he blindly turned it over.

He is like a worse offensive Marner

This screams "homegrown kid sells tickets, play him in the top 6" from Frankie f***nuts.

 

[Bgav]

Miller and Petey show up next period. Straight garbage so far

I think there’s just a lot of negativity surrounding the team’s start and it’s easy to single out the guy playing in the top 6 who hasn’t proven himself.
