The problem is that if we really want to try and win with this core, it will be with Miller being a significant piece for us, and he's hitting that age where his ability to be a difference maker may start to diminish a bit, so do we sacrifice picks now to bolster this Miller window, or save them and try to bolster a second window in a few years?
I get that logic for sure but it still feels like a waste. Trying to give it time though.

Someone tell Tocchet your timeouts don’t accumulate over the course of a season. Gutless performance. I don’t know what to say. Hard to be optimistic about this team’s prospects this year if they’re capable of performances like this.
Think we have had a few performances like this this year.This team right now is looking more like a pretender than a contender.There is something really off with them this year.

I think Tocchet's restrictive system lends itself to these kinds of games where we can't get anything going offensively. It's not like Nashville or Oilers are not downright trash defensively and tonight reminds of those low shot, low chances games where the forecheck doesn't work. And under Tocchet, if there's no forecheck, there's no offense.

Terrible brand of hockey.

Got a few quick looks at the game while working.

My patient who was watching the game told me: Islanders were playing hockey, the Canucks were basically playing Jenga.

6 SOG after two periods? Yikes...

That 6th shot is completely fabricated to avoid tying an embarrassing record. Aquaman probably paid big money for it.

Yeah see this makes a lot of sense. Again, I know the onus is on the players to play better but going back to the playoffs the sense I'm getting is that this team's struggles are system related. The team isn't actually 5-shots-through-2-periods incompetent. Same with the constant low shot games in the playoffs. That didn't feel like the team just not playing well.
