But I’ll mention the two most talked about. We can harp on Jake all we want, but he is a 3rd liner and we have lots of those. Very expendable. It’s Brock I’m most concerned about, we are counting on him to do big things. This guy can’t seem to finish and I clearly saw him shy away at one point from in front of the net (was during one of our PPs). He was hit by a Blue the play before and it seemed that he didn’t want anymore punishment. He won’t go into those dirty areas and sacrifice himself. Saddens me to say that I don’t think this guy has the heart to be a playoff performer. I saw that. He backed off before the Blues player even got there. Hugh difference when you see a guy like Perron jamming away. He doesn't want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, it was 1-1 5 on 5 and that's all that matters, other than we were down 3-1 and couldn't generate much of anything after the 1st period. All I'm saying is no matter what the refs did today we weren't coming out ahead. It wasn't our night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say we have Green for another few years and a new coach does come aboard. Petey Hughes will be one their prime. Probably some pretty decent movement on the back end. Podz will have a couple years. I think we’ll have a hella good team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young core has shown they can carry the mail, Petey & Hughes are 2nd in playoff scoring. Horvat is right up there too. The expectations now are going to be playoffs. Lots of pressure on management IMO, its clear this supporting cast isn't good enough. If this team misses next year (or doesn't take a step in the first round) Benning is likely done. Surely there's a group here that wishes this would happen. I highly doubt if we make it back to the playoffs and get knocked out in the first round, it means Benning is done. Really all depends on why it happened. Yes expectations will be that we should be a playoff team. A vast difference from the start of the year when many were still on the tank bandwagon and suggesting we were still a couple of years away. Benning has expedited our trajectory with the major addition in Miller and the value we are now seeing in Myers. We now have an idea of which players to work with for a playoff roster, so Benning can adjust. Green has experience coaching in the playoffs and the team as well. The ones that want to win will take this experience and take it to the next level. We have a foundation now to build on. The young core has done well, but it's in critical times like these when they need to shine. They can rack up the points, but these are the playoff moments where the cream should rise to the top. The focus is on them and they are heavily scouted and played hard against. We will see if they can push through this year. I'm not counting them out just yet. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I think we did a bit of the same after game 2. That backfired on us though, I think it will backfire on them too. Just the fuel we needed after a loss. Canucks take the next one. They’re the cup champs. They literally went through this last season. I’d think they have a pretty good handle on handling the ups and downs of playoff hockey. I doubt media attention has any effect in their confidence one way or another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two NHL teams wanted TG for a Head Coach job and two wanted him as an assistant coach. There is a reason for that and he turned the assistant NHL coach jobs down to be a head coach in UTICA. Why not learn something about the guy you like to criticize so much? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know we have not been able to hang at 5 on 5 we need our special teams to show up. Gaudette needs to draw back in . We look to be in tough now.. The PP was eventually going to regress to the mean. We need our 5 on 5 to step up instead of relying on powerplay, so I do think it's the other way around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
