To summarize my feelings about the game tonight:

 

[Bleedred]

Who scores a point first? Palat? Or Jack?

And yes, I'm aware Jack has points this season already, Palat does not.

Who gets the next point though?

 

[Killing Joke]

This game is still very winnable, but they really have to tighten up their defensive play.

It’s not: they’re too slow, their goaltending sucks, the defense is just traffic cones, and no one is doing anything aside from Nico.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

it's been a lot more than a couple mistakes, and not just this game. I've pointed it out every time in alot of the gdts. There were so many times Hamilton of all people was forced to be the last guy back because Dillon was being dumb

I just completely strongly disagree with you. Have watched every game and have liked his game. And again as me and others have mentioned he’s playing a bigger role than he will once healthy.

 

[Bleedred]

Hope we get Pesce in there on Tuesday

Bench whoever you gotta bench to get him in there. I don't give a f***.

 

[guitarguyvic]

Not if you make up for it with other things (which he does at his best) and are just being strategic and smart.

I feel like you are confusing being small with being weak. When I think of the great players who weren’t very big, I wouldn’t characterize any of them as “weak”.

It is still winnable, but I'm so dejected after tying it and then going down two more.

This is a repeat of I think our first game last year against the Capitals?

I think we went down 3-0, scored 3 quick ones in the 2nd or at least three consecutive ones to tie it 3-3, then we still lost by multiple goals.

That was the game where the Capitals had that 45 year old rookie goalie making his NHL debut.

Forgotten realms

We are playing in masquerade in new orlean in 1852. I play as a vampire with high humanity, which does not feed on people fundamentally. But my God, the poor cats of New Orleans.
I’m a fresh dnd body and only playing for one year or so. I like modern settings more because of variety of tools. And I'm preparing myself for makin my first game in adventure time setting.

 

[Unknown Caller]

Offensive depth from top to bottom is mediocre. Especially with Jack not playing remotely close to the old Jack.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

I feel like you are confusing being small with being weak. When I think of the great players who weren’t very big, I wouldn’t characterize any of them as “weak”.

I’m not remotely confusing them at all. Jesper Bratt is small but he isn’t weak. Do you think Jack Hughes isn’t weak?

It’s definitely harder and you have to be a special talent if you’re small and weak which Jack is but you can definitely make up for it. I mean we’ve seen him do it and absolutely dominate so I’m not sure what your argument is.

i need a devils tattoo,

where is my sewing needle and bic 4 color pen?

They are losing because they have been extremely defensively sloppy.

Feels like the depth has done most of the heavy lifting offensively since the start of the season.

 

[mdj12784]

Bratt trying his patent shootout move. Wait til your an inch from goalie and jam into pad

Right?! Are the players allergic to, oh, I don’t know… lifting the f***ing puck?!

Who are other star players who were small AND weak?

 

[SJinNewJersey]

Team really needs to step it up to make this a game.

 

[SansaStark]

It would really behoove Jack to spend multiple summers working on faceoffs and making that a priority. He needs a healthy summer

 

[NJDevs26]

Did Casey royally f*** up the first period enough to only get one shift in the second?

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Who are other star players who were small AND weak?

I don’t even care to look for or mention anyone although Wayne Gretzky himself wasn’t far off that. Wasn’t very strong or anything.

But again what is your argument here when we have seen Jack dominate at the NHL level? Do you deny that he has shown that before?

 

[Devs3cups]

That play on the Caps 5th goal is absurd. Can’t happen.

 

[Omar Little]

Jack is afraid of contact on so many plays it’s impacting his effectiveness

 

[Better Call Sal]

Did Casey royally f*** up the first period enough to only get one shift in the second?

That’s what I came here to ask. He wasn’t out for a goal against that I can recall in the first.

I missed the second period entirely, someone care to summarize?

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Did Casey royally f*** up the first period enough to only get one shift in the second?

No, for some reason he just didn't get ice time from the start

I seriously thought he was scratched this game
