I am pretty sure we haven't won back to back games against any same foe except for the Devils. Too lazy to go back and check schedule and results of each game. That is why grabbing that extra point tonight was huge. Do we really have confidence in this team doing it down the stretch now that they have to?!

i'd like to see you confront Henrik or Igor after a game and tell them they're a choker

I kind of wish Igor or Henrik were like Voracek and called me out on twitter would have gotten my 15 minutes.
Yeah I know he is often inconsistent but maybe the human element of complacency has set it as well. He got his money.
We have seen many days of the fat cats just cashing checks in the early 2000's. I hope that isn't the case for Kreider but sure looks it right now. He was literally floating for a lot of the game even in the ot.

Another really strong game from Kravtsov. He is the real deal.
Kakko and Lafreniere both also had strong games I thought.

They were our 3 best players tonight.

This team battled and could have easily won both games. Playoff chances are slim but the future is really bright for this team. Some great young talent and more on the way. BTW I hope the Piles panic and give up another high draft pick for 2 goal Taylor Hall. They won't make it past second round regardless.
Quinn has done some good things here he has lost the locker room IMO. He can no longer get the most out of his team. He’s constantly out coached. Kind of like when Torts shelf life runs its course the team is just out there going thru the motions. Hindsight being 20/20 I’d rather have a shitfaced Montgomery behind the bench
Unlike Torts he never had the lockerroom. This team has been shit his whole tenure here. I'm trying to remember if it was just last two years or three years that he was here.

I don't take Kreider as that guy to be complacent because he got paid. He's just who is he at this point...consistently inconsistent. He's run hot & cold for his entire career & when things aren't going well, he looks disengaged. This is nothing new, but always frustrating for us at home.
Pretty accurate summation. It's kinda baffling. Why even come here? Almost never engages in any sort of intelligent, honest discussion. Doesn't seem to get anything out of this place. Goes out of his way to pick a fight with everyone he sees. Just weird.
Yeah for sure.
Just now he seems to be more of a liability. At both ends of the ice. Heck even DQ sent him to the 4th line in favor of a kid. That says a lot.

Because he team didn’t give up a 2 on 1 and leave the 3rd man wide open for a shot.

My guess at the start of the season was this team missed the playoffs by a few points. I think if they play good hockey they might sneak in. But as long as the kids continue to show improvement I don’t care if we make the playoffs. This isn’t our year anyways.
His first year here even though we didn’t win, we at least had the fight. He’s definitely not a coach like Torts or Brindamour where they get to most out of there players. I think If Martin wasn’t here this year Quinn would have been fired already
They were more explosive last year and were able to come back more, though they did come back today.
I don't know if I'm greedy or what but Losing in OT with our kids playing great and our vets playing like shit is better than winning with our vets playing well but I frankly wanted both. There's no excuse for our vets stinking up the joint. Where was Panarin? And I know he's not really a vet, this was kind of a disappointing game by Fox. I guess even Lidstrom had his off games.
Yea more often then not we would be losing but the hard work didn’t stop as much. I don’t know, maybe I’m not describing it right. There’s just a different feeling watching them now. They get behind and their shoulders sag and they go thru the motions. In his first year there were a lot more comeback wins and games like the caps game or even tonight ( missed the last 2 periods) where then didn’t quit. I also don’t remember them coming out like the walking dead in the first as much. That’s been a staple this season.

Too bad with five mins to go, on PPs, and in OT you forgot who your best players were
Yeah, I'll never forget how they almost came back from 6-0 down with just over a period left.
Panarin and Fox are allowed to have bad games.
I’m not so much annoyed by the outcome as I am annoyed that Kreider went from being punished for sucking to being used as if he earned his spot back at the end of the game. It was his blown coverage which led to the chance before the ot goal against, which came after he almost blew it in regulation.
your best players during regulation got 0 shifts in OT. Quinn went to Kravtsov which was good, but not using him, Lafreniere or Kakko in OT was baffling.
How about playing them in OT when they were your best players during regulation?
You guys heard it here first: Howden and Quinn are sleeping together. Probably right this second. It is the only explanation.
