And frankly this is why as much as it hurts you has to let fast go and you’re going to have to move buchnevich too. You have these kids they need those mins.

Strome too Chytil needs that ice.

it’s just what needs to happen for these kids to progress
 
Not the team game I wanted to see in the 1st period to be honest. Kreider was definitely on a mission. This team needs 3 good games and wins in a row to actually give themselves confidence. one shaky win like this, it's a building block but I doubt the team will find their confidence from this game.

Would have won 3 in a row if Quinn wasn't an idiot.
 
Some may say, Georigev has a punchers chance to start next game.....

Not sure that this is becoming such an easy conversation.
 
In a way, signing Panarin was bad for us. Because it put our GM and coach into "win now mode". Well, we can't do it with this squad. But right now, Quinn is trying to save his ass by winning as many games as possible. This means, more icetime to Panarin, Buch, Zib, Kreids, Strome. And the bottom-6, who can keep it from their own end. Take a guess who is caught in the middle? Yup, Kakko and Lafreniere with less than 10mins icetime, constantly swapping lines etc.

What needs to be done, is fire Quinn. I mean no point trying to salvage this thing IMO, no offense to him.
Second, whoever comes second, should have the first priority in making Lafreniere, Kakko, Chytil etc. differencemakeres in the NHL. f*** the playoffs, I'd rather enter them when the team is ready.

Playoffs are nice when you have never had them (or had them for a long time), but ask Minnesota. Getting jumped from the 1st round 10 years in a row isn't that funny either.
 
I bet $50 on the last game. Didn’t go too well for me. Was convinced they turned a corner after the Laf OT goal and I am frankly unimpressed by PIT this year.

for sure, there was no we were losing to them AGAIN since we played them really close the last few games and their defense is a wreck with no Letang or Dumo

I don’t think any actual coach in reality isn’t going to do their best to win. That’s an HF mindset that doesn’t translate to the real world imo. Gallant for example wouldn’t come here and try not to win games.

I mean absolutely, and if I was in the shoes of Quinn I too would rather play guys like Howden, Lemieux and Di Giuseppe besides Kakko or Lafreniere because they WILL get the puck out, are sound defensively (or atleast more sound) to kill time before putting Panarin and co. on the ice. But is it good for the club?

I don't think Quinn has an idea where he is going with this team. Constantly switching lines tells enough. And frankly, playing Lafreniere and Kakko around 10 minutes is just not acceptable. I'd rather lose games and have Laf and Kakko out there trying stuff, developing instead of this BS where we still lose with 1 goal or more, and have our future talents play less than 10 minutes.

This is not a Fast conversation.

I don’t know what to tell you man you continue to ignore math and continue to say yah but he’s good.

panarin kreider lafreniere kakko

those need to be your top 4 wingers

you cannot pay a 5th one big money when you have to pay them and 2 centers.

it is what it is. They aren’t moving those 4 they aren’t burying one of those 4 on the third line long term.

they made a decision when they signed kreider and then they drafted lafreniere. It is what it is.
