With average goaltending we’d draft between 12-14th O. Getting a top 6 pick is gravy at this point.
Yeah as much as I want one of the 2 D I'd still love to have a guy like Nazar

Exactly. We really shouldn’t be drafting in the top 10 this year. We’re being greedy lolYeah as much as I want one of the 2 D I'd still love to have a guy like Nazar
Our goalie not making saves hurt us too
Nope I want Slafkovsky. If we don’t win the second pick it’s rigged.Exactly. We really shouldn’t be drafting in the top 10 this year. We’re being greedy lol
What really hurt us was your horseshit coaching or should I say non- coaching
Trade the pick to avoid a mediocre player or bust in this weak ass draft.
The giveaway inside the blueline was iconicZacha was good tonight
That particular play (which Ruff blamed on Zacha) but the horrid Power Play in general and and leading the league in giving up short handed goals has everything to do with coachingPP undoubtedly sucks. Coaching also has nothing to do with that first goal.
Sweet! But it was audible on TV back in December when they were doing it.Was there. They did.
Tonight was the perfect opportunity for the crowd to fire up another ''Fire Recchi'' chant like they did back in December.
It has been horrible this year no doubt hopefully they respond accordingly not panic and do something stupid....Fitz doesn't strike me as that kind of guy but you never know. It's going to be one of his biggest challenges yet....I’ve never seen anything like the goaltending this year. Anyone who’s played somewhat competitive hockey knows how f***ing deflating it is then your goalies give up softy after softy. It has 100% affected the play of the guys in front of them.
I don't think it is greedy when we knew we are out of the playoffs by the beginning of December and know it will be at the very least October 2022 before we can watch a Devils game of any consequence. That sucks. It would lessen the blow if I knew we are getting Slafkovsky of one of the RHD at least.Exactly. We really shouldn’t be drafting in the top 10 this year. We’re being greedy lol
The thing is no matter what it will likely be better than this season. It can’t really be any worse. It’s really all about how much Fitz wants to do with it or how aggressive he wants to be. Worse case we go into the season With Daws and healthy Blackwood as our tandem. That wouldn’t be ideal and I’d say it’s unlikely but even that should be significantly better than what we’ve gotten most of this season. Obviously an injury or two and then all of the sudden we could be in a similar spot again.It has been horrible this year no doubt hopefully they respond accordingly not panic and do something stupid....Fitz doesn't strike me as that kind of guy but you never know.

I have hope that Fitz will finally let Recchi go. He said after last season that the PP was a major issue that sunk them for the season . He HAS to finally address the issue. The core is not going anywhere so the only other option is to shit can him or go balls out and add a stud PP player but thats not going to happen nor should it. We have most of the pieces in place. A #1 elite D in Hamilton ( imn sure he will be back to his normal self next year) , a PPG Bratt , a 100+ point Hughes , etc. We have trhe skill to have a good PP , just need the right coachWe have no more energy. Its just passive acceptance at this rate. The PP is the worst i've ever witnessed in a long time. Its just so bad. How we will survive next season if nothing changes.
I don’t blame Ruff for not throwing Hammond under the bus. He’s probably just getting tired of it he’s had to already do it in two of his four games before tonight’s.
I’m very glad he threw Zacha under the bus and singled him out.
Just don’t tender him this off-season, I’ve f***in had it with him.
It’s gonna hurt though when we have to suffer through watching him have his first 40 point season with another team.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Zacha was actually good this game apart from that. And he put up 35 in 50 last season which is well over a 40 point pace and is playing at a 40 point pace this season. I think it’s time to move on but he definitely should and definitely will be tendered. It would be stupid and make no sense not to. Let’s trade if there’s a deal that makes sense. But he’s not useless and shouldn’t be thrown away.I don’t blame Ruff for not throwing Hammond under the bus.
