Once again

This team isn’t starving for defense. It anemic offensively. Bennett, Barkov, Chucky, and Verhaeghe have how many goals combined in the last 25 games? I don’t know, maybe because the D men you rely on for point shots are absolutely horrible at it.

And why is the guy you maybe took a flyer on for offense from the blue line is decaying in lieu for Bjornfot?

Our top 6 are in a scoring drought, but as a team we aren't anemic offensively.

We still rank 9th in Goals for and 7th in PP%.

Our GA and PK% however, is 22nd and 20th respectively.


But yes, I do agree Boqvist should be in the lineup consistently.. not because he's been particularly good, but he also hasn't been given enough. The most consecutive amount of games he's played for the team is 9..add in the amount of games he missed last year and that's hardly enough time to settle into a new team properly..


and it's not like Bjornfot and Balinskis are any better.. the former has no offense to his game and the latter is what he is at 28. Boqvist's previous seasons are much better than anything these 2 have done, even with the injuries.

The only way to go is up, the offense will pick up and it'll all average out in the end.

Honestly, watching the last few games, for the top-6 this isn’t a simple scoring drought or people missing assignments or they partied the night before.

It’s really obvious that the effort isn’t there. They’re skating slower and doing lackadaisical forecheck. Going through the motions. Their hearts are not in it.

I don’t know what it is but it’s pretty obvious. Maybe it’s exhaustion. Will Maurice do something or will they only start to pick it up either near the end of the regular season or if their playoff spot is threatened, whichever comes first?

They just need to leave the hooking to the prostitutes and stay out the box

I was told on Instagram that we are losing because of pride jerseys that was just announced today. They were serious

I avoid people who instantly show disdain for a pride event. That they do every year. That affects you zero.

i posted this in another thread but it's not hard to imagine that the guys playing in 4 nations are conserving energy in anticipation of that tournament. and those are the guys who make things go. i'm sure they aren't intending to undercut their teammates. maurice thinks everyone will come back sharp. i wouldn't be surprised if there was a a bit of a letdown, though.

that said, i think they'll pull it together in march, though. filipovic made the point that home ice could be with our D depth. i bet maurice knows this and will start to push them harder then. they are capable of ripping off a 5-10 game win streak to take back control and they all, including maurice, know that.
