5 decades and no cup Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 4 hours ago, smithers joe said: i don’t feel sorry for the fans, i feel sorry for the players. they worked hard and played green’s system for 2 1/2 periods but couldn’t hold it. 2 untimely penalties and the collapse of their usually good penalty kills. we had more hits than we normally do, good energy and some good snipes. they still gave the puck away far too often but they deserved a better fate. don’t give up boys, you can still squeak in. Can't bring myself to wade through this PGT, but I did stumble across a post that very simply and realistically encapsulates the game last night. Up until the final 10 minutes of the game, our team played better than they have in a long while and everyone in the GDT were making very positive comments; even the 4th line were receiving the love. If they had managed to eek out a win, the comments and incredible page count would look very different. The last 10mins looked like a lot of games played by teams coming out of a rebuild. Pretty much every rebuilding team in the past +8 years have struggled hard to climb into a playoff position and most haven't even come close to competing beyond the first round. Most reasonable fans thought that the team would make the playoffs, but beyond that, very few thought they'd make it past the 1st round. If we had known that Boeser and Markstrom would be injured, I doubt the predictions would have been as positive. Yes, it was a heartbreaking loss for all of us and especially for the players, management and owners. This team has had great success at home and they could very well string together some wins and can usually pick up points on SoCal road trips. Confidence restored; Marky's return: they still have a good chance of getting into the playoffs. That's all we really wanted, isn't it? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Goose Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 So I said I'm not going to comment on this team till the reg season is done- sticking to that BUT on the topic of reporters, has anyone noticed how much Ben Kuzma rambles? When he finally gets to his question, he then keeps mumbling so much unnecessary stuff lol. Drives me a bit nuts. Keep it short and sweet! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bree2 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 29 minutes ago, 189lb enforcers? said: Good player, for another team. Meanwhile, he’s been solid for this team. Not great, not much of a leader even, but he’s put up stats. As much as I wanted to see him traded, I’m not going to bash his performance or his being a cripple or IR magnet. That’s on JB, same with Firkland, Tavev, etc. so its Bennings fault Sutter has been injured a lot? Ferland was supposed to be recovered by many doctors , not Bennings fault, Tanev is Tanev he has played well for us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the place for such calmness. Not the PLACE! Only overreacting please... going forward, if we win 3, acknowledge the fact that we are Cup Contenders, easily one of the best teams in the league. Just remember though, if we lose 3, FIRE EVERYONE! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DIBdaQUIB Posted March 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Viper007 said: Well .... that was a bad loss. Frustrating as hell. Marky can't come back soon enough. PK needs to make a stop (and it starts with goaltending). Domingue was good for 52 minutes. That Werenski goal was a goal he NEEDS to stop! Unscreened shot from the point goes through the 5-hole. Unacceptable. There's a stat where if you let in a bad goal and the other team doesn't, you lose 86% of the games. We need Demko to start playing like he has been previous to this last road trip. Stop letting in the early goals. This reminds me of a couple of years ago when Markstrom and Nilsson were letting in the early stinkers. Domingue was good early on but failed late. Demko has struggled early but generally improved as.the game.goes.on. Solution...play domingue 1st half then put Demko in for the 2nd half. Maybe the combination can get the job done. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
