  1. I think it might be a good thing with having this week coming up with no hockey. It will give management time to realize we aren't making the playoffs and to start figuring out ways to make trades. Couldn't come at a better time really.
  2. You know Benning must be giving a sigh of relief because he can use this as an excuse to give him another year of incompetence. Just you watch he will say the schedule, injures, so many games and so little practice time.
  3. Yep Keep playing Roussel because....He's awful. Provides nothing. You can't get a young player who will at least provide energy into the lineup. Honestly what is he seeing to justify keeping him in the lineup?
  4. Ya but what in Benning's history of trade deadlines and acquiring players in general give you faith he can do it? He has had 7 years and the same excuses come up at the end of each year of missing the playoffs. Yet he always gets a vote of confidence.
  5. I think its safe to say the chances of making the playoffs are gone. Too many things to overcome. I hope they start to play the young kids.
  6. Ya spend some coin to get the best ice possible for your players. I am sure it would also take the risk away from getting your players injured as well. I am sure it also makes an impact on whether players want to play here knowing the ice is bad.
  7. Exactly. I am frustrated that Benning has had so much time and has not acquired quality depth at this point to at least get by. It just shows his incompetence because I don't want to hear it as an excuse at the end of the year. Too many years of the same issue.
  8. Benning's excuse is going to be we got injuries so that affected us being able to score. Ya you have always had injuries in your tenure. The problem again is you didn't provide enough depth to make up for injuries and around we go again and again. I still think he needs to go. I don;t think he has done a good enough job getting depth forwards who can put the put in the net at times. Roussel is useless. Sutter can't get assists. Virtanen can't score or get assists. They have too many of the same players on their bottom lines.
  9. I can't stand players like him who show up every once and a while when they feel like it. It's a cancer on the team. You need to show up every night. He chooses more often than not to choose to just show up and glide around the ice.
  10. I don't get why Edler is still getting top minutes at this stage of his career. He can't keep up and has been beaten over and over. Is there is no other young defenseman that can come in and do what he does?
  11. Why do we have such a hard time scoring against this team? So frustrating watching us struggle again and again vs Winnipeg. Doesn't matter what goalie they have.
  12. Is it me or is there a ton on interference going on by Winnipeg? Seems they are holding up our players a ton.
  13. Ya, what I would like to know is what is Green waiting for? He can't get experience if you don't give him any minutes in the extra frame. It's kind of dumb when he has been the least of problems when it comes to defense in their own end. He should be ahead of Virtanen at least. Makes no sense. Juolevi is another that makes no sense. He should be ahead of Benn. He still needs time and development. It's not good for him to be sitting all the time.
  14. Ya but it's what you get when you only show up for part of the season. It will be a good learning experience and maybe they won't take games for granted next year. Remember in the beginning they kept on saying it's early and that they weren't worried well this season is a good lesson learned. Play the whole season like you don't have the next game to make things right.
  15. He doesn't have a plan. I think this is what it mostly shows. It's consistent with his time here. We're a playoff team, we aren't one.
  16. I am frustrated we couldn't beat Montreal once in regulation. That is a lot of points to give up to them. Second best team the whole season against them for the most part.
  17. Tell me what was great about it? They were badly outshot and the goaltending was just ok. The reality is we didn't have one regulation win this season vs Montreal. The defensive system is awful. It's great we have Demko but stop pretending like fans should always be satisfied. If you don't like my comments then don't respond to them but why question why I watch the games. I am a fan no matter what but I am also realistic. You make it seem like it's bad to critisize when its warranted. They didn't play well tonight. They should be able to get one regulation win against Montreal.
  18. Sadly. The games played is what's going to get us in the end. Especially since we are already back.
  19. They needed a regulation win. They couldn't get one against the habs. They stink against them.
