We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

That was one of the easiest GI calls I've seen. He literally pushed Sir Robin out of the crease to open up the net.No goal.

And Lehner weighs about 240 pounds. Not an easy guy to move. Fleury weighs about 180 or 185.

Nah f*** it. Come the f*** on Holden, sure your partner was in the corner but f*** me the man is constantly getting exposed by parking his body in nonsense areas around the crease and can't skate fast enough to challenge a close range puck possessing forward. Dube had way too much time and space. This is his f***ing job. Sure his goal says we're not tied yet but he's got two huge gaffes leading to two goals against.
The PK keeps faltering and PDB won't even try replacing Holden on the pk unit.

That was on Roy equally though.
The turnover on the bad pass, he got back then vacated the middle of the ice on the PK to chase the puck. Dube was a trailer.

I care far more about the person whose job it is to cover breakdowns that keep the puck in the defensive zone than I do a forward turning the puck over. Just like the Kopitar goal I mentioned a couple days ago, Holden parks his body in a useless position and doesn't hustle enough to challenge the shooter and instead opts to drop down for a crouch block, which isn't the worst panic move but it highlights that his positioning and lethargy meant too much time and space for the shooter. If he wasn't so committed to defending...basically nothing, that goal almost definitely doesn't happen.
Not as bad as the Kopitar goal since there were only two forwards in on that play. But Holden could have cut off the passing lane and put pressure on the shooter if he moved his feet. Instead he got caught watching the left winger and doesn't even notice Dube until he gets the puck.
Basically, we need to get it together for the playoffs. We get almost no power plays, and our power play sucks anyway (and it shouldn't with our talent), and we are 26th in the league on the PK(remember we were 2nd early in the season so it's even worse. In the playoffs, special teams mean more, which means we aren't going anywhere in tight games if the special teams don't improve significantly.
But if Roy stays put in the middle of the ice where he was instead of chasing a puck then Dube has no space there. I look at it more as a breakdown of the PK unit as a whole.
