  1. Not only does he let us score on him lots, he's a pretty good guy too. Real props to him and the Penguins organization. Classy.
  2. Yeah that's just cumulative frustration from a lack of change. We've been watching much of the same hockey for the last 5 years.
  3. Yep, and their defense is activating more offensively too. That makes a huge difference. Remember when our team was dominating everybody at the beginning of the season? Edler, Myers, Hughes, Stecher and even Tanev were roaming around down near half walls and even behind the net and making pinches knowing that the forwards would back them up. There isn't much of that anymore. It's safe hockey. Dump. Change. One man forechecking with absolutely no defensive support so it's absolutely useless. We allow teams to enter our zones, we don't backcheck with vigor anymore and overall the skates aren't moving efficiently. These small changes make the biggest changes on the ice, whether you have skill or you don't.
  4. Has become? It's been toxic since the very get go haha. The only difference is that the team has been losing more. It's like every forum of every hockey team, up on the ups and down on the downs.
  5. One thing that always surprises me is just how inflated some of these stats are from the powerplay absolutely preying on weak teams. Without like 4 games, statistically we'd look horrendous in a lot of areas. I'm in absolute shock that Bo has more than ten points. He's been better lately but his game has been absolutely dreadful this year and lacks the intensity that it did in years past.
  6. Edmonton looks like us at the beginning of the year. Just a high compete level with a few skilled guys really capitalizing off of that energy and pace. They've just been more consistent at showing it this year. Defensively when they play bad is still as bad as it was in years prior, but their effort mitigates a lot of the holes.
  7. It's a huge issue in general is shape for this team. Even on the powerplay we don't ever set up triangles. The only time we really ever do is on the breakout where we send it along the boards, and have the side wall send it to the middle to get up the ice. We hardly ever shape up in the offensive zone. Very perimeter oriented.
  8. I mean we don't have any black people on the team so this could work out, right? Jk. That's a stupid &^@#ing thing to suggest. His team played worse than ours did ffs. Why would we want a racist piece of trash and an awful coach? We're already dealing with one of those things already.
  9. The thing is that there's already that intrinsic fest regardless of whether they berate you or not. They're afraid to not play to the coaches style otherwise they don't make that big paycheck and play in the nhl. A good coach should be able to get the most out of majority of their players. Some make it easy, others don't.
  10. It clearly does in my opinion. From the top down view they showed earlier you could see him pull it up clearly there too.
  11. That is frome the ice level video. Jesus dude I'll record it for you...
  12. No it wasn't. I literally posted you the first frame of the puck fully entered into the zone, bud. Do you want me to send you a video as proof?
  13. The middle player with his back skate up is offside. His leg was off the ice before the puck fully crossed the line. Had he held the line it would be onside but he picked his foot up.
  14. Yeah that's the first frame with the puck in the zone. Check the back skate of the middle player.
  15. The middle guys skate is off the ice. Get some glasses or get a new phone that has the ability to analyze an image.
  16. No. He isn't. He's currently tied with Benn for worst defenseman on the team. He was good early in the season. He was good last game and he was meh the game before, but he's been consistently playing like he has tonight for a while.
