We look slow and small. Plain and simple. And also a step behind. Double whammy.
The 4th line was not on the ice for a shot against in this game.
Geezers Perry and Ryan have been among our better forwards through 2 games.
Hits were like 14-4 Hawks after 1st period. yeah, you know that frustration is gonna bubble up. Been saying this for awhile is that teams can just take liberties against McDrai and what are we gonna do. Gum the opponents to death? Theres basically zero tough in this lineup, in hockey, in the WC. This is the kind of frankenstein nonsense club that only an analytics guy would put together. This roster makes no sense.McDavid feeling the need to retaliate for getting hit shows that he knows that we don't have the horses to do that or to hammer Bedard the same.
It did seem that Chicago skaters quickly caught up all night.We look slow and small. Plain and simple. And also a step behind. Double whammy.
We need to sign some more forwards

PK blows
Offense Blows
Goaltending has been mediocre... some would say it blows
Outscored 11-2 through 2 games on home ice.
Upside is they've outshot the competition 67-40 so there's that.
If they can find some finish and some defense/goaltending and be better on the PK... they could certainly turn this around.
I've liked both of them to start
Weve allowed 11 goals against on 40 shots. That's the issue.
Yeah the bathroom.The answer is in the room.
that is the thing. That 3 mill for Skinner or 4 mill for Arvedsson? Would it have been better spent on our D?
That wouldn’t really help goaltending being…ass.that is the thing. That 3 mill for Skinner or 4 mill for Arvedsson? Would it have been better spent on our D?
Look what players we lost and what we brought in. How was it going to look different than this? The guys will figure it out and do enough to make playoffs but this is going to be a slow and tired looking club in a lot of games. Still can't see Drai getting all the criticism tonight from some here. He's the forward with two new wingers trying to figure it out and he scored, set up several plays and hit a post. You read the board and its him getting the gears again. I thought he was off in first game but pretty good in this one. He wasn't the problem. The standpat first line doesn't even have a goal yet this season.We look slow and small. Plain and simple. And also a step behind. Double whammy.
Didn't they move things around to max the cap hits? Savoie was sent down, Lavoie waived, etc. I'd be fine waiving Ryan if need be.Didn’t they have $53 in cap space to start the season? I’m not a capologist like many on here are but what’s changed since Wednesday to allow us to do anything?
There are no hits in this lineup though. No hitters, no fighters, no grit, Teams are gonna take advantage of this and take liberties. How could they not? Maroon kept looking around laughing that there is nobody in our lineup that would do anything no matter what he did. He actually even toned it down, not sure why. he could/ve done anything he liked all night. Same with goons like Foligno.9 hits is pretty anemic too when you are coming off a 6-0 shitpasting in your opener.
You would think the team would at least have some snarl after being embarrassed on opening night.. but the personnel really isn't there for a lot of grit and snarl and truculence in this lineup.
It's basically on the back of McDrai to drag the offense out of this team yet again.. and once they started putting more pucks in the net... hopefully that helps to even out the defense/goaltending/PK deficiencies as well.
Nurse should be that guy.There are no hits in this lineup though. No hitters, no fighters, no grit, Teams are gonna take advantage of this and take liberties. How could they not?

Trade for Kostin. We need forwards that can hit
