So instead of signing the high scoring forward we needed we sign the train wreck combo of TDA and Orlov…

I know we like the familiarity, but if we’re going to have any chance at making the most of these acquisitions, Skjei-Pesce need to split up. Both Orlov and TDA need competent babysitters.

Yikes Raanta isnt bailing out some of our worst brain farts defensively tonight…
TDA-Orlov showing why I said we would see 11-7 as the only way to allow TDA to get ice time on PP but we needed the defense of Chatfield…
but it’s not all on those guys…. We have been awful all around so far… painful to watch…. Have to actually put in the effort and win the one on one battles…

They’re both the issue. Neither one seems to have any clue what they’re doing in the defensive zone.

You're not wrong. The problem is one is a pp specialist ofd who's here to move the puck on a budget. The other is a 8m dollar waste of money that isn't as advertised
Not really at you BB
But you Have the AI generated logo
We should have signed the AI generated Scoring forward..

livin' that no caps life
He definitely doesn't seem as solid in his own end as people said he was. But im willing to cut him some slack. Every dman weve acquired has taken at least 2 months to adjust.

True, but if we're taking one out of the lineup for Chatfield, do you think it's going to be the guy who we're paying $8 million, or the PP specialist who's made zero impact on our PP?

Yeah. You’ve got to imagine Chatfield is pulling his hair out watching this.

Orlov will be fine, will take some time but not worried at all about him. I do think his play style fits so much better with a Pesce or Chatfield rather than TDA but it's early in the season so we're just figuring things out and have plenty of time to do so. I do think this coaching staff and team is very much in the mentality of "the only thing that matters is playoffs" at this point -- just like the Bolts got to after 2018-19 elite regular season and playoff choke to the BJs.
Te: Orlov—new team, new system and saddled with TDA as his partner. One of them needs to adjust their style and be the stay at home D versus both recklessly roaming out of position.
I’d add—prior year long playoff runs can have a hangover effect early the next season
Last rant—Burns played 26 minutes last night. That’s a bunch for an old albeit in great shape guy.

He should be. He was done dirty.

Based on last night they might have needed a game like this where Rod can tell them post game they don’t get to just throw their sticks on the ice and beat an NHL team.
