Popular Post DeNiro Posted October 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2019 Like I predicted Leivo - Sutter - Virtanen line provided zero offence. Horrible balance. If they’re going to provide nothing offensively they better be close to perfect on the defensive side. Sutter and Eriksson floating back as McDavid strolls in and ends the game. Get Eriksson out of the lineup, drop Virtanen to the 4th and get Gaudette in there. At least he’ll try and create offence. 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 73 Percent Posted October 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Couple thoughts 1. Hughes the 19 yr old defenseman cannot be assigned mdcavid and or draisitle. It was evident 5 mins into the game green should have adjusted and we lost this game because he didnt. If we're going to deploy taven against the worlds best player, then we cant be pairing hughes with tanev. Coaching lost this game. 2. What does sutter bring to this team? It isn't offence. And his defence is survival mode hemmed in our own zone. 3. Ferland looks great. 4. Why does Mike Smith get his own set of rules? Since when can you take a stick from an opponent and throw it in the corner? Thats like 3 seperate penalties.

I feel like his average second half last season got to him and he needs to loosen up. Think he and Boeser will be back in form in a few weeks when they get their groove back.

The 3rd and 4th lines did nothing but give momentum to the Oilers all night long. Pathetic deployment of players by coach Green. Especially Beagle, Schaller and Virtanen. - so invisible that they were the only forwards not on the ice for a goal against !! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtis Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Not a playoff team after game one effort by the bottom 6. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More shots, better chances, and they were bailed out by an obvious miss hold call. Not to mention they took 2 bench minors 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVasili Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Team seemed sloppy and disorganized. Likely the result of not getting the lineup together until after preseason games were over. A lot of new players on the team as well. We will sort it out in a game or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Everybody still happy with the bottom 6? Sutter with the turnover on the McDavid goal. Beagle dump in on a breakaway. No offense outside of the top 2 lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything Hughes was pretty awesome and he didnt even play with PP1. Put him on PP1 and he would absolutely make plays like a 4th forward. Get rid of Leivo from the number 1 PP for Hughes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Where's Wellwood Posted October 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2019 Pathetic powerplay. Put in gaudette, call up Baer. Pettersson was unlucky. He had chances. Our team just seemed to lack chemistry in any sort of cycle game. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-d Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Our bottom 6 is the same crap pool as the last year, and JV18 doesn't do anything on the ice that screams for promotion. When our top 6 struggles like they did tonight we get absolutely nothing in terms of production. Everyone seemed like playing on a neutral gear tonight. When your skill guys aren't going, where should the energy come from? We still have nobody that provides a spark when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Mike Smith sure knows how to get in our heads lol. I'm surprised that wasn't a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
