No joke, that's a beautiful family

The breakouts were better but it's still full of gimmicks and stretch passing tricks to try to get that odd man. But their own zone scheme is an abomination. Just pig vomit bad, and it f***s their breakout. The constant reverses and taking their time coming out from behind their net while the other team sets up their coverage. Who the f*** teaches this?! It's f***ing antiquated.

And in the offensive zone, they just do not know how to penetrate with positive control. It's loose puck pandemonium and pray.

It comes full circle to Paul Giamatti.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Brodzinski actually tries hard. He should be playing over half these bums.

 

[BBKers]

They all went and got drunk in Calgary, played an awful game there the next day and after that - the skid has just gone on. That tells me a lot. There were deep issues. Everywhere.

 

[Machinehead]

Shoutout to the people saying this team just wasn't very good back when it was an unpopular take.

You are vindicated.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Very low testosterone team. Not battle, no fire, aside from cuylle. Everyone going througj the motions. We need Rempe to wear a letter and rake it away from mika. Will over skill not that shitbanejad has any skill.

Great loss. Keep it going. The purge has to continue.

Sounds you like might finally delete your account…..?

do your worst, there's nothing left you can take from me

 

[Shesterkybomb]

This was one of the better games they've played from a structure standpoint in a long time.

Let that sink in.

Also, give Reilly Smith the option of Hartford or retire. He's the definition of cooked.

Cant believe we traded for Smith.

 

[bleedblue94]

Jesus, 2 wins against playoffs teams in 31 games played.

Kreider saying we didn't generate offense is like no shit, it's been this for a few years and a team that simply relied on a pp or other teams to make mistakes. This team creates nothing.

Kreider trying to talk and act like a captain is about 4 years too late...

I see us winning maybe 2 of those games...I wouldn't be shocked if we didn't win any.

 

[McRanger92]

That was brutal. Almost 0 sustained pressure and an obvious lack of skill across the lineup.
Mika and Kreider looked absolutely cooked. KK, Vesey and Smith are the same guy wearing 3 different numbers. You could convince me that Edstrom didn't play.
Laf, Chytil, Cuylle and Berard looked ok, but Nashville isn't great and some combo of those guys has to finish a chance or 2.
Outside of Fox the entire D-corps are bottom pairing/depth guys at best.

Berard leading the team in 5v5 ice-time is telling. As is KK being last after just being scratched

Well said. Might be clean house time.

 

[Svenhart2008]

Again, not a Drury issue. I hope he picks the guys staging mutinee one by one until these overpaid shitbags understand that they are a commodity.

To be fair if I ever find myself in Calgary, I better be drunk

You reminded me to do my yearly Holdovers Christmas rewatch this weekend with this.

Please tell me you're hearing that Dolan is grinding the axe for Drury

 

[NikC]

trocheck's comments just sum up this teams overall attitude... "shoulda scored"...
they take shots, can't score.. give up.. we've seen the same thing even when they weren't in protest...

We're going to get smoked. I'll be at the COL game to watch us get smoked at the tail end of all the smoking.

 

[Rangers in 7]

All the blame? No. Majority of the blame on Drury? Absolutely. 100%. He bungled this team up terribly. He did absolutely nothing right.

It’s 100% on the f***ing players. Zib, Kreider, Lindgren, I could go on. They f***ing play like they don’t give a shit

 

[Hire Sather]

Shoutout to the people saying this team just wasn't very good back when it was an unpopular take.

You are vindicated.

I mean, they were good and now they aren't.

This doesn't mean they got lucky for 3 seasons in a row

[Jaromir Jagr]

He's been an awful GM from day 1. Buchnevich trade was horrendous. The contracts he's handed out have been awful. Goodrow, Zib, Igor, prob Fox. The team hasn't been built with any sort of strategy in mind. It's just a random amalgam of pieces.

He also talks to much. Let your actions do your bidding. His moronic f***ing shit this summer and then what happened during the season is pathetic.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

You know how they say “it’s a lot easier to fire a coach than it is to trade 18 players, you can’t trade a whole team” ?

Is it possible for us to test that theory?

The only winnable game there is against the Blackhawks. This is already butt-ugly and it's going to get worse before it gets better.

They definitely did last year.
