Post-Game Talk: Winless in Minnesota est. 2011

[Rapala]

Matheson is good up and until you have to depend on him for anything.
He can give you the unexpected at times but not the expected.
That is a problem.

 

[26Mats]

Most boring game of the season.

Easiest shutout of Gustavson's career.

Hutson was the only entertainment.

Minnesota was also down Erikson Ek and Zuckerello.. rofl

Well we are down Laine (and RHP?)

Matheson is good up and until you have to depend on him for anything.

That is a problem.

I think it's also a problem for his trade value.

 

[Gustave]

I love when people pick up on what I've been saying for years. Yes, Mardeson sucks.

What could’ve been; Matheson’s value this past summer.

Yes, please let us know what was Matheson's trade value this summer?

They have the worst points percentage in the nhl right now pending the outcome of the Preds game. So much for being in the Mix.

 

[Gustave]

More than right now….

 

[MarkovsKnee]

All losses IMO.

My 1-10-1 November prediction might actually come true.

I think we can beat Columbus & Utah. 2-2 over the next 4.

 

[26Mats]

More than right now….

I agree. But I'm not sure it was too high this summer. I think it was either a late 1st or a 2nd.

But yeah, I guess both of those returns look good now. I just don't think it was a top 15 pick as some speculated.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Felt like I was teleported back in time and Jacques lemaire was behind the wild Bench.

Exactly how I felt. Mentioned it in GDT. It's like the 2000 Devils all over again.

I see it the same as you. He was never getting more value than this past summer. His 23-34 season was an anomaly stats wise and he “looked” flashy good at times. Some GM would’ve bit.

why would a non playoff team would have traded their first for Matheson?
TB, Edm, Tor, LV, Col all moved theirs already but all expect to make the PO.

That is a pie in the sky wish.

Ever heard of Yzerplan?

''we needed veterans so the kids can learn''

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Kept it a close game and played better defensively against a very good team. The team simply lacks talent and another high pick is needed. If they play more defensive then they create f all offensively.. if they play more offensive their D and goaltending get eaten alive.

Some thoughts on the game:
- Dach looks like he has no confidence with the puck, put him lower in the lineup and off the first PP to regain confidence
- Hutson on first PP please
- Xhekaj looked better and kept his game simple
- I can’t wait until Dvorak/Armia are gone

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Doubt we beat Utah, they just handled Carolina easily and Carolina are light years ahead of us…

Columbus? Maybe. I was shocked they beat Buffalo to be honest so I suppose anything is possible.

I’m just so done with Marty Saint John hockey. No systems, no accountability for some and far too much for others, little to no development, toughness non existent.

It’s like being forced to listen to the opening theme for “Coronation Street” on repeat.

No one was going to trade for him in the summer. Someone would now.

The opening theme for Coronation Street is great.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Not playing Hutson in those final minutes when we're down is crazy. Bench one of Dach or Matheson...

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Not a bad game but we don't do well against trapping teams. And it's going to be that way until our club is much more mature. It was completely boring... I think I fell asleep for about an hour.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

''we needed veterans so the kids can learn''

He's a vet alright, too bad he's complete dogshit and exactly the kind of player you don't want your young D to emulate and learn from.

The opening theme for Coronation Street is great.

Oh yeah, that cornet and clarinet really get the blood pumping. Should be the Marty Saint John theme song for his interviews.

 

[RationalExpectations]

We’re getting that other this year and maybe another next year 2.

Hage + one of Hagen/Misa/Martone + another good pic next year.

And then we’re taking off for good.

Which team needs 5 years of bottom 5 picks to be good ?

 

[G0bias]

This team needs to draft another stud impact forward, bad.
Demidov alone won't be enough to turn that offense around.

Also i've rarely seen a player accomplish so little while doing so much, as Newhook.

 

[Habssince89]

picked a great game to fall asleep during. Onto CBJ

 

[Demigod]

Lack of talent, but they played a honest game. At the end we fall short because we dont have any firepower.

Still think we can build on the effort. Bad results but for 2 periods Habs were the better team.

 

[hvac412]

The fans have been supporting the team throughout the rebuild, but think this might be the year the rebuild will hit Molson's pockets. They're so much worse than last year, everybody has regressed.

Again,why would anyone pay to see this crap ! the media & management has now shifted from “in the mix” to “were still in the rebuild phase” it’s going to take twice as long with a GREEN coaching staff you dummies !! which you can blame KH & JG but keep buying those tickets suckers ! This is almost textbook “ how not to do a rebuild “on so many levels
