  1. Nobody gonna mention the fact this guy called Madden a top prospect? Lol.
  2. I know people are pissed at Roussel being out there to end the game, but keep in mind so was Gaudette. Something tells me that was a line change and neither got off. Also Roussel did have some good chances at the end. Say Roussel and Gaudette skate to the bench for a line change. Now we are playing 4 on 5 with no goalie while they leave. It was unfortunate and I personally think the coach should have managed the lines better so they aren't put in that situation. I imagine you want your first or second line on the ice with 2-3 minutes left. That way one of your premier lines is fresh for the empty net moments. Why the 3rd line was out there is beyond me. Can't yell at them for the coaching decisions. Also, ideally Stecher doesn't sh*t the bed and we end up in a do or die situation to end the game. But hey, if we didn't have bad luck we'd have no luck and we aren't allowed to have no luck.
  3. Honestly, this is probably just the hockey gods setting us up for one more 1st round draft steal. That's gotta be it. We're gonna get one more top 4 D-man in this draft. Then next year we'll make the playoffs and slowly become a Cup contender when the bad contracts expire and Pod, Hoglander and this year's 1st rounder comes in to replace em. Just smile. Bury the pain. Cry myself to sleep.
  4. Where's the video of Jim Mora screaming about playoffs, cause that's where I am at.
  5. Is he getting all his money in the 20/21 season? That's new.
  6. The Canucks should jump the Coyotes and beat them up tonight Up our odds of winning tomorrow.
  7. Easy clipping call. We’re lucky it didn’t put us on a 5 on 3 PK for 7 minutes.
  8. People cry about those contracts, but how many of them will be here next summer? Loui's? Lol. Our oldest core piece is Horvat at 25 (in April). Our Cup window is just barely cracking open. We can wait out these contracts, especially since most of the ones you pointed out only have one year left. Cap is not really an issue. The only contracts I'd say look bad are the Ferland and Eriksson contracts. Ferland's cause of health and nobody expected Eriksson to go from 30 goal scorer to 30 point player over one summer.
  9. This is about as must win as it gets. Not only for points but just for overall morale. Boys gotta wake up and play. No slow start, no letting off the gas in the 3rd. Arizona is a team that struggles to score. We can't be giving up beach ball goals against. Or crucial late game PPs. Keep breakaways to a minimum. I don't care if the game is boring to watch. We need wins, especially against divisional rivals.
  10. We are 5 points up on 23rd place Montreal Canadiens. If we sh*t the bed I hope we REALLY sh*t the bed. This is a pretty good draft. Lol. Sad thing is all the things I complained about in November and December are being put on full display now. I said this team wasn't playing winning hockey with the way they were playing in December and I been saying all year Marky is the runaway team MVP. Got lots of pushback and confused face emojis on both points. And here we are, playing the same level of hockey we were back in December. Except now we don't have Marky to steal us games. Defensive zone structure is a joke 5 on 5 and on the PK, the lines are beyond stupid. At least with Willie D he had the excuse of only having the Sedins and a rookie Horvat on his roster. People give him crap but he wishes he had a roster half as decent as the one Green has this season. I am beyond defending Loui's place on this team, Sutter and Roussel need to be made examples of by sitting in the press box. I'd take Baer with his questionable health over both of them.
  11. Columbus lost their top 3 RWers, their top LWer to free agency and their starting goalie to free agency. Half of Columbus' roster is seemingly out. Toronto's defense, which was suspect when healthy, was also decimated by injuries. Ottawa is a AHL roster with a few stud 22 and under players. I love making excuses for this team, but these last few games are nothing short of an embarrassment on this franchise. We are young, but that's been the excuse for the last 3 years. We are relatively healthy, especially compared to Toronto and Columbus. Our expectations were playoffs (especially with the Toffoli trade), we are holding them to those expectations. This is not even close to playoff level hockey.
  12. As much as people hate on Demko, I still think he is our best chance at wins. But realistically the team in front of our goalies are crapping the bed just as hard as the goalies have been. It's hard to pin our losing on just one thing. The team as a whole just isn't clicking.
  13. Sit Roussel. Run whichever AHL guy we have in the press box right now. Roussel had an okay game last game but overall he's been dog poo the last 10ish games. At this point I'd rather see Megna or Chaput. At least they had hustle. Give me the boxing hobo.
  14. At this point I’m done hoping this coaching staff makes smart adjustments. I just hope the team plays well. We can’t keep losing.
  15. Nani? Lol. We watching the same games? Cause he is half decent on the forecheck that means he's been good the last 30 games?
  16. I guess I am in the minority but I honestly think Miller had a poor night. He is the guy that makes high risk plays a lot. Tonight was no exception. Watching him try to dangle 3-4 defenders and getting stripped of the puck is frustrating. He needs to go back to doing what he was doing earlier in the season. He probably feels he needs to take the weight of the team on his shoulders because so many don't show up but he isn't the dangle through the entire team type of player.
  17. I'd take comfort in that if we won games with any sort of regularity. Lol. I am not so much concerned with other team's scores as I am with our own.
  18. That's 4 wins in the last 12 games. What's the over under on Greener going back with Loui, Pearson and Bo?
  19. Petey and Miller all night have been trying to do too much. Miller trying to dangle 3 defenders. Petey making bad passes and bad decisions. Rough night for our first line. Demko sh*t the bed early.
  20. Virtanen wasn't wearing a Maple Leaf. Different rules. Just like the too many men that wasn't a penalty either in Torontoland.
  21. I like the idea of Pearson and Toffoli. But yeah. Just slot Jake anywhere in the top 6 remove Eriksson. Jake has more scoring chances this game than the entire first line combined.
  22. What do we need to see to get Jake with Petey and Toffoli with Bo? Tell me Green.
