Peter's really pissed me off at the end. A 2-1 game ballooned into a 4-1 (5-1) blowout because of the ridiculous decision to pull the goalie without possession. This kind of BS turns the box score watching fans away, and those are the exact fans we need now. 8k per game is a great way to play 2019 in Quebec City

Are you kidding me? This one was on Peters.

Although I agree that was a poor coaching decision, Noah Hanifin *has* to sell out to stop that. The side skate "ole" doesn't cut it in that situation. Honestly, all he had to do was go down to one knee and he stops that easily. I hate to say I told you so, but we should have traded him this summer. He's just not a good defender, and he's not good enough offensively to make up for his D. He's a No. 5 d-man and we could have traded him like a No. 2.

It may be the time to pull the trigger on dealing Hanifin. This team doesn't really have the luxury to wait for him to get his crap together, and with Fleury looking good, it's time to look for the deal. Sell while his stock is still pretty good and get that legitimate first line center.
