Well every so often even a low offense team wins the low event game.

Nice they got the en goal to salt it away...Hawks been on thevother end of en goals often this season.

Dang, if we had finished up Anaheim this would be a pretty nice stretch. Take down a terrible team and follow it up by taking down a good team. Philly next, who’s meh, but we’re on the road. Winning is more fun lol

That was awful f***ing hockey. I don't want "defense" at the expense of all offense.
There was complaining with a team up 1-0 and thensome. That's literally all this roster can be. And it's with young guys in defensive roles, Bedard out with a lead late. Things people complained about last year... when there was no need to rush that. Now is a more apt time for that when you have patentice.

Every shift of vlasic, allen, or kaiser making some plays, breaking up chances and pushing the pick out is excitement to me, because that's what the future and success is built upon.

If you're not going to play 1-2-2 when you're good then don't play it to just stay in games. No one gives a f***. Its boring. Its dull, and its not how anyone good plays.

I’ve got some good news:

In a couple years the majority of the roster will look different, there will be a new head coach, and things will look much better/more exciting offensively. This is just the calm before the storm. We haven’t even drafted Hagens/Martone yet. And most of our current top prospects haven’t arrived yet either. So really what I’m saying is who cares how ugly things are now. So long as Bedard isn’t permanently ruined/tainted by our ineptitude which I don’t believe he is or will be no matter how frustrating this season gets.

Their defensive zone positioning is f***ing awful. They collapse way too low, which leaves the D wide open, and makes breaking out almost impossible.
All players also have a very tough time catching a ring around cleanly, then it cascades from there

They ring the puck WAY too much. Even when they have some space to take a stride and put it on the tape. That's a tough f***ing play even in beer league, because as soon as the D rings it, you're going to have a guy in your face immediately. Your only option is chipping it out.

This team's coaching is bottom tier.
