goldie keeps on saying that we're getting really close and pushing, but we've honestly had like 1 or 2 decent scoring chances this period. otherwise, they've been easy shots for kinkaid

Seriously.. How does every team against us always have the slot open on us. Just throw a pass in front of our net you'll have a player open there.

Us getting the shot advantage in the 2nd does not mean we were better. We looked very similar to the 1rst period it's just that Devils stopped playing altogether

Brow. County, Fl.
Can we bench Jokinen?!?
I wish. Unfortunately it's up to the coach.

We need to stop signing these slow moving, soft, east/west, drop passing, no shooting players. They just do this for the whole game. Once they lose that one, it's just on to the next game to do it some more and lose again. They don't even try to adjust their playing style, this is not the big ice, play north American hockey please. This is why we've been at the bottom of the league the last two years. So what do we do, we go out and sign more of them.

Step off the pedal a bit offensively to focus on defense? Of course. "Toy" with the other team. No.

We're working hard, we just aren't that good.

Well then fire Tallon he told us it was a 5 year plan, its been 5 years where's our Stanley Cup? If we aren't good enough to beat Keith Kincaid now then I don't see enough potential for this team to ever be THAT good

Just watched Boston 1rst goal. A snap shot from the blueline. Why does it go in? They created traffic in front of the net all the time

Again, the only two guys we have who go to the front of the net on a consistent basis are scratched for whatever reason. Why we scratch them instead of Jokinen Flash or Thornton, I have no idea, but Gallant seems to be more and more clueless every game

:rolleyes:

I really hope no one believed that. Sometimes, in life, you just have to say things to keep people happy. Taking a team with no assets to the Cup in 5 years is never, was never, and will never be a realistic expectation. We aren't good enough to beat the NEW JERSEY DEVILS on one night. That's not important. Our best skaters are 18, 19, 21, and 22. Let them mature.

The fact that Jokinen and Bolland have not been a healthy scratch shows that Gallant is oblivious or he can scratch them due to their contracts

I'll never understand the scratch Bolland or Jokinen campaigns. Jokinen is our third highest scoring forward and plays PK. Bolland contributes some points and is fine in a third line center role. But scracth them because it's their turn? Or because we don't like how how they look when they play? I don't get it.

Worst part we can't dump Bolland or Jokinen for picks because nobody would take them free

Ah. I think it's just an argument for not scratching Hayes.

We don't have time for that, we'll be in Quebec by then
