Who was it that gave up the puck along the wall in the ozone that lead to Hanifin’s second goal? Have some awareness of the clock and the relative position of your teammates on the ice. That was terrible.

Bouchard is playing like a 2 million dollar defenseman this season. Would be a massive mistake to pay him anything more than 8 million on his next contract.

Skinner is a roadhockey goalie that can't stop anything.

Special teams on this team are worst in the league.

Offense can't score at all.

McDavid may be the worst he's ever looked. Something is seriously off with everything in his game.

Something is just off with McDavid an it’s not the ankle, he has looked awful so far this year

The decision making is horrendous.

Play that epitomized his game this year was late in the third. He’s wheeling around their net with Ekholm coming down the far wing open. All he had to do was take another step and hit him wide open. Instead he fires it blind to nobody in front of the net. Vegas picks it up for a jail break the other way.

This isn’t a skills issue, a decline issue, and injury issue, etc. He’s just playing rancid hockey. He’s not seeing the ice well and is frankly throwing the puck away in dangerous parts of the ice more than he’s making plays.

Hasn't played well since game 6.

Zero shooting ability plagues us again. Played well for the most part, but unable to get shots through, get quality shots from a distance, trying to pass the puck in the net, unable to generate any speed.

Would love a save on that last goal, but when do WE get those kind of opportunities? I feel like they are few and far between for us because we just dont have the pace anymore.
