GBU The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - The Moveable Object Met The Resistible Force, 4-1 Loss in Ottawa 11/16

[Chainshot]

The Good:

Dahlin did some nice things offensively.
Thompson can shoot the puck.
I like Mitts tonight, good creativity, not a void in his own zone.

The Bad:

Dahlin hurts Comrie.
Skinner with chaos for evil, including the stupid penalty and hitting a post, blowing the zone on GA1.
Unable to cash their odd-man rushes - missed on the breakaway, missed the 2-on-0.
Power on the ENG - doesn't move the puck quickly so it winds up coming out which puts them all offside, then slow getting back on Stutzle. Just a microcosm of the whole night.

The Ugly:

Gus hit in the head.
The PP is easy to defend and easy to predict. Not surprising that it was 1-for-8 tonight.
Bryson, dude, I love you but love means telling someone the hard truth - you have sucked lately and need to settle the f*** down.
Power-Dahlin as a thing strains the rest of the pairs way too much.
Vic... go far. Either sack up and engage or go the f*** away.

 

[enthusiast]

It's incredible how many goals they score given how bad their finishing often is.

And whoever coaches the pp is stealing money from the club

 

[Howie Hodge]

I'm NOT happy....

The streak will most likely continue on Saturday as well. Toronto is playing better. They're gonna get shit stomped.

 

[Ace]

Good - At least Joker is back so people can stop pretending his absence was a reason we weren’t winning.

 

[1TuchAnd1NoTuch]

Again, seemed like they could’ve won this game. But too frustrating to watch. I’ll always tune in vs the leafs but think I need a break from this crap

 

[MOGlLNY]

I don't think the crowd is coming back anymore.

 

[enthusiast]

Is there any serious consequence to continued losing? They're not going to fire the coach after extending him and it doesn't seem like KA wants to juice up the roster.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Will winning a championship really erase and make up for the amount of frustration cheering for this franchise has caused me? I doubt it.

 

[SundherDome]

They just flat out quit. I dunno how Donny gets them back but he needs to figure it out.

See I’m of the belief that it’ll be oh so sweet after all this suffering Darcy warned us about

Yes, it will

@SundherDome did you decide if covid or the sabres were worse

G:
Tage and Mitts were pretty much it from me.. Dahls had some moments.
Peterka with a couple looks

B:
Cozens hands.. I know he has good analytics but doesn't mean shit if the dude cant bury the puck on the chances he's been getting.
Thought Power had a bad game
Literally most of the team with was bad.

U:
This team with the goalie pulled is soo terrible....Its amazing how bad they play with an empty net.
The lack of players in front of the net again..

Adams needs to start making moves before Donny complete loses the room. And if you're going to call up someone it better be Murray or Cederqvist... bring up guys that aren't scared to go to the net!!!! Not Shanahan and f**king Anders Bjork!!!

 

[start winnin]

So when Samuelsson comes back and this team continues to suck ass what's going to be the excuse for losing then?

I thought he was fine tonight.

It will just add another year onto the development cycle.

They could send some of the kids back to the farm to get them bigger minutes and perhaps get them back on track. Krebs especially needs to extricate his head from his ass again.

 

[SundherDome]

If we're being honest.. COVID but by the slimmest of margins.

 

[DapperCam]

I only caught bits and pieces, but box score tells me that if Dahlin and Thompson aren’t directly involved, we aren’t scoring. Where is everybody else?

That might be more of a reward at this rate

cycling on the perimeter and occasionally hitting a post

Peterka and Cozens couldn't buy a goal if they had $100 bills hanging out of their zippers.

 

[Gabrielor]

They're young, not that cohesive or good, and relying on 2 guys to generate.
The coach either isn't coaching or no one's listening.
Management is content to punt another season.

That's where we're at.
