Excuse my negligence but I was very dissatisfied with picking 11 and didn't pay any attention to the prospects this year. Now that the day has come, it's sucked me back in... So who are they taking? The team has holes everywhere and can improve in alot of areas, but speed and physicality with skill mixed in has got be at the top of the list. Dman or centre, I'm not picky, both need to improve drastically.

I'm convinced the jays hitting coach does absolutely nothing. They've had issues with outside off speed pitches forever, they refuse to slap hits to the opposite field until it's the 9th inning. They get hot for two weeks and then go ice cold for two weeks. I understand it's a streaky sport, but make some adjustments to try and score some runs that aren't because of home runs. Painful to watch when it's must win against a rival in the wild card and also division race.

Do the Jays need to make a change with the coaching? Mostly the hitting coach. Don't seem to have a good approach and certainly are not hitting well this year.

Sorry I haven't followed Abby closely, is that woo playing wing? Am I missing something? Has he played there regularly?

This teams inability to beat bad teams will ultimately what crushes the playoff hopes. Cant give away points to the Ottawa's, Detroit's, Buffalo's, Chicago's. The only bad team I recall the nucks taking care of was Arizona. Must win out now and get help, it's not impossible... Just made it a little more difficult tonight.

Very poor player usage. Why is dries out there in ot, and not podz. Why is petan in the shootout lineup. Gave away a point they desperately needed and frankly, should have easily secured. It's Ottawa...

Anyone know the status of Pete walker? Be a huge loss if he isn't eligible to enter Canada...

I missed the first, good effort in the second, really needed one before it was over. Terrible start to the third but good bounce back. Powerplay far too often let's them down in important moments, that was the case tonight. Also, Miller drives me nuts, he can have such a poor attitude and not care at all, a little more effort and maybe they don't get the third, and definitely not the empty netter after his brutal giveaway and floating back. Playoffs are a very very slim chance now, but I hope they play good hockey the rest of the way. See some auditions hopefully.

You're saying he didn't completely lose his man and then over commit because he was chasing the play? Looking for a breakaway pass when they never even touched the puck.

Bo should never be on the ice on 3-3 or to start a game/period. How hard is it to play man on man coverage when it's 3-3... Absolutely lost out there.

So why is he standing flat footed and not supporting Myers being triple teamed and then not sharing at all when the flames got possession?

This is the approach I see being most realistic. I see motte being traded because he's a UFA and you can't lose guys for nothing. But since BB took over, this team is a top 10 team in the league. I see them giving the team a chance, outside of motte, and having a busy summer.

How long till podz and hog are swapped and that third line gets 0 minutes the rest of the night?

I hope Bruce keeps the 4th line together the whole game. You're not going to create offense on other lines with any of those guys and you're messing up your most consistent line. Leave it alone. My only real complaint with him so far, gets the blender going every night it seems.

I love the 4th line and they've been our best line a lot. But why on earth are they out in a 2-1 game with under 2 minutes to go? And hunt? Why is he on the ice at all let alone when we need a goal
