combover Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Looks like the same team that started last season and why wouldn't it it’s basically the same group that’s failed year after year. we needed changes we got status quo. the preseason was an indicator of what was to come poor effort careless plays and complacency. what a surprise it’s carried over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the guys we have we should be right up there with the PP. The puck movement is so predictable though. I remember with the Sedins there was cycling, pucks behind the net, things that had the D turned around. This current team is just trying one timer over and over again but with the whole opposition facing towards them. Crikey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We re-upped an aging player who has actively been a large part of the reason we lost the first 2 games. Tanking means you sell off assets for the long term gains of the team. We just plain and simple suck right now with little to no help coming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Oh yea, we have the Maple Leafs to cheer us up. Going for a bike ride, keep calm and carry on stuff for me. It's the only way I can do it these days. File it away and find something positive in the day. Peace out, folks. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJDDawg Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Wake up people! Maybe, just maybe, it’s not the coaches like everyone seems to convince themselves every year before another season of mediocrity goes by. JR wasn’t able to make the changes he needed or wanted to in the off-season so sadly (IMO) signed a soon to be 30 year old ti a 56 million dollar deal and might have to do the same soon wth the captain rather than creating cap space and prospect depth. Its the same story every year. Has been except for a couple of Cup runs over 50 years that tide us over and give people the illusion of potentially consistent good times. But the team is really who we thought they were. A fringe playoff team at best that’s over the cap but for the magic of LTIR. I’m sad really not at this start but more at seeing my deepest fears about this team being confirmed. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Define better? Philly got a short handed goal on us. We're 1/13 on the PP. Did we pass the puck around more and have more puck possession - yes, but too much of that and not enough shots on net for rebounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickly Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Same song and dance as years past. Abysmal special teams, horrible giveaways, unable to play a full 60 minutes, and lack of killer instinct. I don’t know what to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just happen to know a team who's specialized in that business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24K PureCool Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 This team is so afraid of taking step back that all it dies is taking steps back and digging more a hole year after year. Tear the bandage off. Suck up the pain and it things back o track. Trade Letey, Demko, Hughes and anyone that can make the Cyotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL97OneTimer Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 2 minutes ago, R3aL said: My opinion. As much as Mikehyev wants to play with Petey and Kuzmenko I think he needs to play with Miller. Pearson-Miller-Mikehyev Kuzmenko-Petey-Boeser Garland-Horvat-Podkolzin Joshua-Aman-Lazar Hughes-Schenn OEL-Burroughs Stillman-Myers Demko Martin we lost that game because: - Horvat was invisible - we lost key defensive zone face offs - our Powerplay wasn’t good and a short handed goal two games in a row is unacceptable - Kuzmenko didn’t elevate the puck - Petey one time miss the mark too often - Hughes looks off to me like he had a late night or a flu - boeser is looking super slow - we played down a dman most of the game - reffing sucked for a momentum changing period takeaways: 1. our PK has been okay and it’s been missing Mikehyev and Myers reach so it will only get better. This is a positive. 2. JT has to outscore is defensive gaffs. Game 1 he did game 2 he didn’t. Needs to be better as a team leader and with the contract he has. 3. if Horvat wants a big extension.. he needs to be better. He’s not doing himself any favors here. 4. slow starters: Hughes due to the flu he had looks impacted to start the year to me. And Boeser with the injury he’s a. Step behind like the start to last year. Hopefully they get up to speed quick here. Need better from them. 5. OEL looks necessary on the top PP unit right now as short handed goals like we are surrendering are unacceptable. 6. Burroughs - can he be that player who steps up unexpectedly and play above what we expected? I’m feeling optimistic I like what I’m seeing from him. 7. kuzmenko is doing better than I expected to start the year and expect him to keep learning and getting better. Really like him so far. 8.Hoglander is a Tasmanian devil on the ice action follows him. Turnovers / steals, scoring chances, penalties drawn and taken. Interesting player. 9. Demko is demko can’t blame him for the loss he gives us a chance every game. 10. Bruce might be worried right now as the results aren’t there and the arrogant / west van / country club attitude of our team is looking stronger than ever. id like to see a strong effort and response next game from the squad My summary is a little simpler but I can't disagree with your points above. However: - team stopped skating - team showed no heart, no hunger - passing sucks because of my first point (passing options are poor) - PP is missing a coach - They need 2 solid PP groups.....at least have a proper center for PP2 Burroughs is earning himself a job for sure. While I like Kuzmenko, I'm not seeing much in the way of speed with him neither. Hope that changes. These guys needs a few days of bag skates with parachutes on. It's starting to look like a country club team already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
