Popular Post Darius Posted October 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2019 The other team was playing it’s home opener, I expected them to be tough to beat. We were a crossbar away from tying it. im not too worried about the top two lines, especially considering there are a couple new guys in the mix and it will take a few games to get timing and chemistry right. It looks like the d will generate more offence this year. What I am worried about is the bottom two lines ability to do anything other than eat clock time. Their lack of production will be magnified in games where the team is playing from behind. A couple of those guys need to be on a short leash. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling for the coach to be fired, going on and on about not being a playoff team and general overreacting is tiring at best though. Yes the loss can be criticized but some of the dramatics could tone down 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the hits are seriously padded stats. If there was 10 hits tonight the stat keepers are really being generous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruilin96 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 14 minutes ago, FlyLow_ said: This is why I wanted as much of our final roster as possible playing the last 2 games of the preseason. Easy 2 points gone for no reason other than the team not playing together before and spending the entire game working out the kinks. Hughes struggled defensively early but when he started getting thrown out with Bo's line things started happening for us. Virtanen, Leivo and Ferland were downright bad. Everyone else got better as the game went on, which is all you can expect under the circumstances. Bo's line was the best line in the game. It also has to do with the schedule of the preseason. Back to back games on back to nights in a sequence of 3 games in 4 nights. It is reasonable for the coach to not play the full roster on both of the last 2 pre season games. I am more mad at how most teams have their last pre season game in the weekends and our last was on Thursday, that’s almost a full week without action as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't let McDavid walk through like that, but Hughes will learn. His play with the puck is something else. Pearson-Horvat-Miller look like an excellent 2nd line. He was bagged and Sutter did a horrid turnover... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Time to rack up some confused faces... I'm concerned about Pettersson's ability to carry the play 5 v 5. He's uber-talented, and nobody is denying that, but I haven't seen him really carry the play in a game since the first half of last season. He can still be a deadly weapon on the PP and can come in clutch in the latter stages of a game, but as far as regular 5 v 5 play, I see him being outmuscled, outhustled and just generally outplayed on a regular basis. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 We could have easily won this game. However, I HATE seeing Virtanen just fly around, float around the neutral zone, turn the puck over, and accomplish nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StiffStick33 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (Hockey withdraw + Big Money Signings + Star Youth) x “Just preseason.. you’ll see..” = ... Didn’t wait 4 months to watch them loose their first game to the coilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair assessment, last season was his first full one though. Very few players carry the play consistently that early in their career. I'm sure it will come to him shortly though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already paid that much for Eriksson... and can't get much cap relief from buyout.... just let him ride along! As for Baer, the Management felt there was a good chance he could get claimed to shed his salary but.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please people - I realize a lot of you don't like Sutter - but get real. Sutter's clearance hit the linesman - the puck fell at his feet - Edmonton picked up the transition gift - it takes a real pair of shizz goggles to call that a "horrid turnover". That's enough GDT/PGT for me tonight lol. This micro-obsession over assigning blame is what sucks the life out of the Game/DTs.

MikeyD Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 20 minutes ago, Grape said: Because Tanev literally did all he could to stop McDavid. Hughes was in a better position to stop McDavid and probably could've done more . You can't be serious if you think none of that was on Hughes. If you think I'm biased against Hughes, I can tell you I've spent almost half a thousand dollars to watch Hughes play a couple dozens of times already at Michigan. I ordered a customizable jersey the second we drafted him. I just have higher expectations of him and I think that goal highlights something that's pretty reoccurring of him, the fact that he plays too passively sometimes and without urgency on the defensive end, kinda like Edler, who naturally is a good defender already. Tanev literally looked like he was going to change lines before McDavid decided there's a huge space there. Looked like Hughes was surprised Tanev didn't have him because if Chris was in position he would have skated right into him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
