  1. Trouble is, in order for Demko to steal a game we actually need to score more goals than the other team. That seems to be a bit of a problem.
  2. Should have been a penalty on Getzlaf for embellishment
  3. Seriously? They're just going to stand there and let the Ducks pass it around for 2 minutes?
  4. That's it the floodgates are open. Gibson's confidence is shattered. We should win this 4 -2 GCG
  5. Petterson can't control the puck and can't hit the net. Apparently Green hasn't spotted that issue.
  6. Oilers lost. Flames losing. We need this one to gain some ground in the division
  7. No Chiasson, no screen. It's a job no one else wants
  8. Okay nothing bad happened, but what was the point of Lammiko going off for a change with 16 seconds left in the period. He could have skated down to the corner and just held the puck for those few seconds?
  9. Gotta love commentator speak: "Passes to an open wing" = Gives the puck away
  10. Agreed , if he was healthy. I think if he had played against the Stars he would have held Faksa to account for that knee on Podz. As it was, we were lucky that he was able to shake off the injury.
  11. True. Every time they are on the PK I can see a goal coming, if it were not for Demko we'd be in the doggy do. They are just way too static, reacting to puck movement instead of being proactive and making life difficult for the PP team. We just seem to let them get set up and then rely on shot blocking. Oh, and when you get a chance, get that fxxxxxx puck out of there. Don't pass to your team mate and give him the job.
  12. Extra hour in bed. The Hammers beat Liverpool 'Nucks beat Dallas I've got whisky All Sundays should be this good.
  13. If I had $10 for every time the commentators said "bobbled the puck" I could afford to go to the game instead of streaming it!
  14. Amongst the other PP failings is the fact that we seem unable to control the puck in the O zone. Given the man advantage you wouldn't think it would be that hard, but teams now know that if they pressure us we will cough up the puck and give them a short-handed chance. Nashville had 2 good chances and better teams will bury those. We all remember when the Sedins used to keep the puck for a full minute shift, or even longer, and the opposition never even got a stick on it. Maybe they could just show some of our younger players how to work on puck possession?
  15. Exactly. Schmidt was a top Dman with Vegas, then he came here and nothing went right, because we have no defensive system. He goes to WPG and becomes an elite player again, it's a miracle right?
