If you want to see Bedard light up the biggest punching bag of a franchise in hockey history then this is the game for you. Then again if the players don't care enough to give any effort why should I?

Is this actually a must win? The playoffs already look like a pipe dream, but there's no way they can pull themselves out of a hole as deep as 3 out of possible 14 points, right? The amount of teams to start that shitty and make the playoffs has to be incredibly slim.

It's hard to imagine they may have pissed away the playoffs before we even get into Nov. Crazy.

I've been getting frustrated as well but I think it's a win tonight. 1-4-1 could have been 3-3 pretty easily if we don't get the bad call on Zucker vs LA and the pens game didn't unravel/Thompson penalty.

I'm not going to be watching, but will be box score watching to see if they actually score a PP goal. Matt Ellis is looking like a PP strategy savant at this point.

Everything that has gone wrong this season has gone wrong, I expect this trend to continue, another loss tonight and this team looks absolutely lost against a lottery team again

Currently 1 point out of the wild card, 3 out of a non wild card and 4 out of the division lead. Win tonight and some Western Conference and Metropolitan help and we will be looking much better

Other than the first Prague game I haven’t watched a single game yet. I don’t see that trend breaking.
The two home games were the best hockey I’ve seen in many years complete beat down domination w very few lapses, bad shooting outside of the dots,would be my only complaints w a few lapses and tired shift , which has been true all 6 games.

They’re going to get crushed tonight.
Chicago?

I haven't felt this... little... about them since Krueger.
It feels like a tug of war with every line and pairing. Like there is one or two players in each that just don't get it and the other do.

JJ and Tage seem to get how Ruff wants them to play. Then there is Tuch who seems lost and his tenacious back checking is sporadic

Benson knows how to play and where to go, he just needs to bulk up but then you have Cozens and Quinn who just look like they don't know how to play hockey.

Zucker McLeod Greenway, no real issues here. Would love to see Zucker use his speed and a little more nasty but I'm not gunna be picky

Malenstyn Krebs Lafferty have also been fine but they don't seem to be flying around like they were in the pre-season

Dahlin Joki - it just doesn't seem to work. Joki seems to lose his man and Dahlin seems to be trying to do too much and just needs to get back to being cerebral.

Byram Power - no real issues here, they feed well off each other

Samuelsson Clifton - Samuelsson is just dragging down any positives that Clifton has provided with 2 or 3 plays a game that are costly.

UPL Levi - neither of these can control rebounds and until that can happen. It feels like UPL struggles when looking over his shoulder with Levi there.

Id like to see:

Peterka Thompson Quinn
Benson McLeod Tuch
Zucker Lafferty Greenway
Malenstyn Krebs Cozens

Dahlin Clifton
Byram Power
Samuelsson Joki

UPL
Any cheap vet goalie, hell give me Houser.
