Petty came to play. Not enough guys stepped up.

Carolina has a good team too, but our tendency to cough up the puck after circling in our own end for what feels like minutes in a row, is pretty hard to watch at times.

Carolina fans are a bunch of jerks.

 

Lacking in real hockey knowledge, more entertained by the post game theatrics than the game itself.  Sad to see pro athletes embarrass themselves like that in order to entertain an unsophisticated fan base.

I think it time Loui is taken off that line. It was fun while it lasted. But Sutter or even Jake would be more effective imo 

Absolutely agree, he never really belonged in our top-6 let's be honest. That line needs to maintain offensive pressure and wear opponents down not get hemmed in their own zone. Bo and Pearson need a playmaker, which is why Leivo worked so well with them.

4G 1A in 4 games against Boston, he should stay at least one more game imo

We should have players shoot at huge nets from way up the rafters, for as much as shootouts belong in the NHL.

It’s a pretty ridiculous gimmick when you think about it.

 

Imagine in basketball if each team chose their best free throw shooters and whoever got more in 5 minutes won?

 

Or in football if each field goal kicker kicked field goals and whoever got the most won...

 

The good thing is I think NHL GMs have almost had enough of it. Too much on the line to be deciding games in a skills competition.

Powerplay needs to be better, but I'm actually pretty impressed that they've gone on this run without having to rely on it. Their 5 on 5 scoring has definitely improved.

Imagine what it would be like, if we get our PP back on track to just about league average along with the improved 5 on 5 play.

Jesus, Sutter played in OT... Why? 

Even Loui is better in OT

LE is too slow for overtime. Sutter played because they had tired lines and faceoffs in their one end. Sutter also has a couple OT goals on his resume

Good sign that the boys didn’t lose in reg or OT playing a mediocre game. They very well could have stopped skating the entire 2nd period and be down 2 or 3 going into the 3rd. Instead they buckled down and stayed in it through 65 mins on the second half of a matinee back to back. Very impressive. If only our PP could have buried one. Gotta put some work on the PP or that’s gonna cost us down the stretch.
