Post-Game Talk: I think this team might have some flaws

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

I'll keep saying it, this is the best outcome for this organization in the future because this team was never winning this year.

But I say that as if we won't completely nuke whatever top 5 pick we get this year.

Until this organization figures out how to develop players at the NHL level, we're never going to win a cup. Every single guy we've drafted came into the league looking extremely promising and has significantly regressed. Kakko is undeniably worse. Schneider and Miller have fallen off a cliff. Laf is the definition of mid.

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

No chance in hell, 1 win tops, if even that.

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

I’ve been to Calgary. I refuse to go back unless there a giant bag of meth in it for me. And hookers.

Another thing. They just take too much time to tee up shots. Even when they have positive control of the zone and puck possession, they cannot get shots through

 

[bleedblue94]

The players are dillusional. The more they talk the more they are showing their disconnect from reality. You don't lose this game to this team bc of "bounces."

Pride and work ethic would allow them to beat the preds tonight but nyr is lacking both at this point.

They are past the point of saying they need to be better in the media and instead trying to convince everyone (and themselves) that they are playing okay and it's puck luck. Serious F off

With Panarin out and Kreider in a freefall decline, this has to be one of the most untalented teams I've ever watched in this league.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

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

THEN WHY ARE THEY ON THE TEAM? Kreider, fine. That's fair.

But who extended Zibanejad and gave him a NMC? Who re-signed Lindgren when it was obvious he was slowing down?

 

[NikC]

how many times is Valliquette going to use that "Dogs Lunch" line?

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

They definitely did last year.

They also were not good the year before last. They pretty much sucked. The first ECF run was pure luck against a minor league goalie (Domingue) and then a backup goalie. They don't get past round 1 if Jarry and Crosby don't get hurt.

The Blackhawks game is the back end of a B2B too, so no effort will be shown in that one either.

 

[McRanger92]

Another thing. They just take too much time to tee up shots. Even when they have positive control of the zone and puck possession, they cannot get shots through

They all take the puck behind the net off the rush. Meeka’s speciality.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Cant believe we traded for Smith.

I don't know what Drury was smoking. It didn't work out but I loved the Blake Wheeler signing because it was free and he cost nothing but league minimum. To go out and trade assets for the same type of player who clearly couldn't play in Pittsburgh is a fireable offense in and of itself.

Hot garbage.

They signed Igor. Future is f***ed too

Kreider has to be hurt way more than he's letting on. He can't move out there.

 

[bleedblue94]

Amazing listening to lavy be critical of the team play vs the players assessment of their own play. Absolutely telling how broken things are.

 

[17futurecap]

Lavy about to ring Vince’s neck.

Meeka, Cryder, Smith, Kakko are giving us nothing. That’s half the top 9. Lindgren is so cooked and Jones is way too high risk. The other 4 D were honestly not bad.

Trocheck lost in the postgame at least he’s taking it on the chin.

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

Not a good look for the 1st line.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

lmao @ the East...those goal differentials of Wild Card teams.

 

[Tob]

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

That was all a ruse. I’m here for the long run. Going to work very hard and sray healthy to outlive Zibanejad’s contract and hopefully Zobanejad bimslef

Kreider has to be hurt way more than he's letting on. He can't move out there.

If that's the case, when has it benefited this team letting injured players stay in the lineup?

They stub their toe? LTIR their asses!
