[Lays]

Wait what happened with Skjei and Howden

 

[Ghost of jas]

Thats what happens when you're a bad team.

It's almost as if getting outplayed and relying on your goaltending/shootout/luck isn't a sustainable formula to winning hockey.

The injuries haven't helped, but they weren't really playing that well before them.

Remember when some of us said there wasn’t enough depth, and the defense is a tire fire, and offered those as reasons why this wasn’t a good team?

 

[Harbour Dog]

I don’t think he was ever touted as defense first.. they just talked about how he doesn’t have McDonald’s offense and he’s a good straight line skater

It's possible I'm remembering wrong, yeah, but I'm pretty sure that he was supposed to be primarily very good at defending without much offensive expectations.

I'll do a bit of research after though and see if I'm re-writing history a bit.

 

[Ori]

Lettieri thought he was sent down, lol.

 

[EdJovanovski]

I guess ADA gets back in the next game.

Even if it’s not by getting on the scoresheet ADA would definitely be breathing life into this game if we’re down 4-0

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Welp. Glad I'm not watching.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

You serious?

These guys wish they were 2nd pairing guys

Hehe

Yeah I would agree for the most part

Wait what happened with Skjei and Howden

Skjei potentially ended the Howden lineage with a slap shot.

 

[Trxjw]

I had this same thought during the Flyers game. I think that’s exactly what happened.

Between that and some guys just being unable to get out of their own way (see: Skjei, Brady) it's really starting to come apart at the seams. Quinn has some work to do to get these kids back to keeping it simple.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

So either skjei doesn’t have the vision to see howden, is stupid, is crazy, or his shot is that inaccurate...

Honestly don’t know what’s the worst of all that

 

[RGY]

Skjei is Wade Redden bad. I dont want to watch him anymore. And because we gave him that dog shit contract we are stuck with him. Awful

 

[Trxjw]

Wait what happened with Skjei and Howden

Skjei fired a slapshot into his chest.

 

[Larrybiv]

I know who hand better hands and a better shot.

Not even a contest. If Kreids had "half those" then he might score 45.

 

[DutchShamrock]

6 hours ago Skjei was a very desirable asset that the leafs would be happy to receive to rid themselves of Wm Nyls.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Ben Affleck almost got the hatty there

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Man Brady Skjei is just flat out bad.

 

[DutchShamrock]

Skjei fired a slapshot into his chest.

Our defensemen are good at hitting the logo.

 

[egelband]

Rangers in Montreal should be mandatory date night/night out for all of us. And no DVR'ing.

This seems wise. It’s mid-morning and cold over here though. So nothing else to do.

 

[Rempe73]

This is not a very talented team. The best thing that can come out of this season is a top five pick.

Not exactly. I will go nuts if we draft at #5, while the Penguins end up with a top 3 pick.

They were winning games and not playing badly before the injuries. When you lose 3 top 9 forwards for a team that isn't deep to begin with this shit happens. Put a healthy Buch, Zucc, and Names in this lineup and things aren't nearly as bad.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Smith or somebody should fight someone

They started drifting back in their AV-habits like the low-% plays, cross-ice passes, and there were several players just in that game who at least attempted a spin-o-rama.

 

[Rempe73]

DeAngelo sucks too. This whole Dcore is ****

Lmao, okay buddy.

 

[Larrybiv]

Y

Orr was faster than Cournoyer. Much.

yes, but not talking about Bobby. Different conversation all together.
