  1. i hate to say it,...but i have a feeling if Demko was in net,in light of his slow start this year, it would be 5-2
  2. This is turning into a gong show. President calling out the coach. Players calling each other out on the ice (Schenn/Miller). Rutherford talking about potentially trading the captain of his team. Signing the wrong guy first(imho), creating a nice long runway of #6 and #7 d men. Has he had enough time to turn this around - no. But at the same time if hes gonna criticize others he should also look in the mirror.
  3. Miller is a good player but I think a lot of people thought he did not fit the time line of when this core would be ready for prime time and that he was one of the few chips that could be traded to fill one or more of the enormous holes in other parts of the roster.
  4. 67,73,55,54,73 percent in the face off dot during last 5 games, 30+ goals last year, could probably put up 40 goals this year...8 points in last 5 games. Perhaps you need to adjust what you consider player motivation. Bo is the least of the problems here. Id probably include him in any core going forward, but they have put themselves in a corner with a couple dumb decisions to pay lesser players ahead of him.
  5. ive seen a lot of brain farts by management teams over the years. This has the potential to be near the top.
  6. We need some saves in the third period, someone that can shut the door ...kinda like Saros did. If you dont get those saves everything is magnified....the weak D...the forwards missing chances. Not only that, its a momentum killer when the goalie lets in two quick goals.
  7. the other team has good players too. There will be defensive breakdowns, guys will make mistakes. The difference tonight is one goalie has made 40 saves including 3 breakaways
  8. when your goalie plays like a third stringer and allows multiple goals in a short time frame its not unusual for the team to sag in front of him,
  9. Team played to its strengths - offence outscored the glaring problems on the back end. It didnt hurt that Anaheim looks like a tire fire behind their blue line. Great game by Kuz - Bure like in his enthusiasm for scoring Great game by Bo - the guy they shoulda signed first Great game by Petey Soiid 4th line effort
  10. Pick him up! how bad can he be, hes named after a hockey stick.
  11. I keep thinking the same. In the end they might force themselves into a corner where they have to move Bo. They need 2-3 top 4 d men and their trade chips are very limited. Drafting their way out of this will take years - which is ok if you trust them to do it right. Also, the kid is undervalued by some. I think of a hypothetical game 7 situation, game is tied...who would you trust the most on this team? Id bet on Bo. He will be a definite difference maker for any team that is on the cusp.
  12. bo is the least of the problems here. he will get 30+ goals again, and he will win a tonne of face offs. imagine if he walks to a team like Colorado...or even Edmonton who lack exactly what he brings to the table...they would be hard to beat.
