Lame

McEwen dished out hits 

 

Jake is capable but refuses to engage 

 

hogs and ep have had more hits

Virtanen playing his way to the press box. Kids on his last leg. 

He’s not a top line player we need to stop pretending he is.

 

He needs easier matchups to produce.

1st line needs Miller back.

 

That awful PP set up must go. I don't understand why it's so hard with our PP. 

 

Right handed trigger man, check.

Left handed trigger man, check.

Best line walking playmaking PP QB, check.

One of the better bumpers in the NHL, check.

 

What's missing?

Practice, JT miller, and a coherent plan. Mostly a proper plan. This looks like preseason planning still on the PP.

[HomeBrew 1,252]

Growing pains of a younger club. Miller presence is definitely missed. Will be looking for a bounce back next game.

I hope this is the last year.

 

 

Optically it would've look awful to let Jake walk, but... in hindsight maybe shoulda bit the bullet and kept Toff. 

[Silky mitts 7,872]

powerplay failed us big time.

[NZCanuck 67]

So frustrating not having a separate PGT!! Some of us in other countries rely on easily seeing reaction to the game that was played while we were at work. 
 

terrible idea.

And taken away space from next year. That’s why they didn’t buy anyone out. Who is this guy

[Beary Sweet 3,820]

Tough loss. Not going to be perfect on a nightly basis. Coilers were saved by McSavior’s ass while we were caught flat footed when he attacked with the puck. But hey we took 1 out of 2 in Deadmonton. I’ll take that any day of the week. Move on to the next one! GCG!

well at least the edible just kicked in, time to crack another beer that sucked, pumped for the flame games though.

 

Cheers to that, I'm moving onto distillate then sleeping like a baby

He’s a fourth line player. Can be useful at times on the third line. But man he is wasting his size. If he got his head out of the sky and played 200ft hockey he could be a decent player. Don’t think he has ever finished a check .

[NorthWestNuck 158]

No physicality with our team tonight. Throw a few more hits, get the oil looking over there shoulders and turning over the puck and it would have been a different game. No pressure from our guys.

 

oh well, split series on the road is ok. Moving on...

[b3. 7,617]

Score wasn’t really a big issue. Just a couple miss assignments.

Not worth it to have two more years of Sutters cap hit at 2 mil. Sutter is still a useful player.

 

They’re not willing to walk away from Jake for nothing. He’s still a 15-20 goal scorer which is good value at 2.5 mil.

I believe there will be a link at the top of the first post to take you to the right page for highlights and post game comments.
