I didn’t really like the set up on that 5 on 3
I love jack but no one is afraid of his one timer from the off hand wall

Why not put timo there? They are absolutely wasting his shot with the bs bumper/net front position
Put Nico in front/bumper, Jack down low and Timo in Jack's spot.

That was actually an even bigger momentum killing air sucked out of the building goal than the shorthanded one on Tuesday. Impressive really.

Our powerplay has no excuse not to score on a full 2 minute 5 on 3. Pathetic.
One shot makes me more annoyed than actually not scoring

Come on now people…. Do you honestly think Meier just forgot how to play hockey or his skill leaked out of him when he was traded? Or could it maybe be a 26 year old moving across the country , leaving what was his hime for his entire life , trying to learn a new system , new line mates , pressure to perform, May need some time to get going ? No matter what we did at the TDL , people would have been mad. If we didn’t add Meier - people would complain we sat on our hands and didn’t take advantage of adding an elite player to one of our best overall seasons all time . Adding Meier was 100% the right move.
I don’t disagree. He will be fine. But at the moment…..he’s been terrible. I get no joy in saying that. It was an outstanding trade still and he will be a huge asset. However, he’s hurting this team at the moment.

Dougie literally took a shot at Vasy's chest on a rushed zone entry...., I don't know how you guys get baited this bad if you literally watch the game
So now we're gonna hear about how teams only score on 30% of 5-on-3's again, never mind that this was a FULL 5-on-3 they got one lousy shot on?

Don’t think ruff and company could handle meier any worse than we have. Not playing him at his natural position RW, and putting him in a spot he has never played on the PP.

No I responding your comment about them having no shots + slighting Brunette when they clearly did have shots. This place is horrendous when they're losing, my lord.

Why is Meier beimg used as the bumper on the PP? Has he ever played there on the PP in his entire career? I dont get it.
Its time for Jack to get is game back on track.

That 5v3 was not good. I wish they would play it like they play the 5v4. The old give it to Jack curling down from the blue line and let him shoot or pass play...but this time he would have two options.

I’m astounded at how certain negative trends have lasted a decade+ no matter who is on the roster or the talent level. This team is absolutely cursed in shootouts and 5v3.

It's the worst and I frankly don't get how the constant, nonstop doom and gloom stuff isn't considered trolling when the team is 3rd in the league and on pace for the best season in franchise history.

It honestly brings the experience here down so much.
