Soucey had that 5 hole labeled! What happened?

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I haven't really complained about the defense. I don't think it's good enough but I've never felt that it's our only issue.

Basically our D isn't good enough but I don't expect or even want them to trade valuable draft assets to improve it. Just roll with the punches this season.

Our 1st will be in the 20s range. So we'll punt a season in a weak draft for a late pick who if he ever makes the NHL, it won't happen for 3-5 years?

We're not in a position to wait and try again next year. We have to go for it every year

 

[VanJack]

Looks like the Soucy-Myers pairing got 'the mercy hook' from Tocchet. Problem is, they've saddled Hughes with Myers.

That will only drag down Hughes.

 

[WTG]

Hell if I know. But something I am sure of is this team isn't going to compete for the Stanley Cup just because they traded those picks for some sweet rentals.

They don't have to trade for rentals. Hronek wasn't a rental.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Here's your game.

mid/late firsts are the most overrated asset in hockey

 

[arttk]

Can we stop the f***ing drop pass

 

[RobertKron]

Rent to own

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

There were red flags with Hoglander down the stretch and into the playoffs but Jesus Christ....

 

[bbud]

Enough cute sh t on pp Hughes drop pass to Eastern Canada ffs

 

[logan5]

Can we stop the f***ing drop pass

It's how you defeat the blue line trap!!

 

[Hansen]

Put Lekkerimaki in a position to shoot you dumb f***s, its like how they put Boeser as the screen when he was in rookie Brett Hull mode. So ridiculous

 

[Kryten]

They don't have to trade for rentals. Hronek wasn't a rental.

So who we trading Hughes for then

 

[Soups On]

Why are they hell bent on Hughes doing the drop pass Jesus Christ he should just carry it in as the recipient of a drop pass

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Haven't seen a pp this limp since I last took my pants off.

 

[WTG]

Garland is not it on the power play

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Ya that's not a good powerplay.

 

[eviohh26]

Well if our plan was to whip it around the boards on the PP then job well done.

 

[logan5]

Can't believe we didn't score there. So many glorious chances.

 

[bbud]

Garland is not it on the power play

What pp ffs it's non existant

 

[PavelBure10]

Well that was pathetic, 0 shots on that pp.

I disagree. Going for it is a waste (at least insofar as trading prospects and draft picks) when your team has issues beyond roster holes here and there. I'm so sick of having a bone dry prospect pool.

Bear in mind this is coming from someone who fully supported the deadline deals last year I just feel there's a time and place.

Lastly, if this team figures out their shit by the deadline then obviously my tune will change

 

[Lawzy]

Back to decline the PP era.

 

[EpochLink]

What a shit power play

 

[Orca Smash]

Its amazing how much this teams struggles to take good shots on scoring chances, but I guess when the coach just wants you to get to the net for tips, probably not practicing hitting a corner much.
