Players clearly new what was expected of them and the position they needed to be in and they did it well. Vcr looked like they were on the PK all night long chasing and getting out of position. Buffalo just picked off the Canucks fire drill, at will. Boudrea brought a lightness to the roster and it worked. Players did play with confidence but you can't do that again and again. It becomes beer hockey if that your expectations, throw the puck out there and lets have sone fun and a few beers after it's all over. This is supposed to be the NHL. Fans pay huge sums to attend games with some expectation of entertainment and the odd win. Thanks for disagreeing. My point: we had seen how the roster is, when they don't like what the coaches are doing. Plus, they repaid Boudreaus' willingness to let them play to their strengths with a winning record and forcing them to play a defensive structure they have no interest in, will continue to lead to miscues & etc. Ofcourse, some will do their best to comply but some of the minute munchies are not happy or inattentive to what the coaches are preaching on the defensive side. Anyways, the team is in beer league status, right now - BUT A WINNING STREAK, EVER SO OFTEN, SHOULD APPEASE MOST AND PERHAPS PREVENT THEM FROM EVEN SELLING - AGAIN, IN THE TDL Edited October 24, 2022 by ShawnAntoski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breezer is just practice fodder and will be "learning" from the press box - that he ain't seeing the ice. Enjoy the field trip Breezer ! 1 hour ago, Fen1010 said: With Hughes, Stillman, Dermot, Poolman out.

Still a non factor and more minutes for two of the most overly paid and disastrous d pairing, in the NHL - the OEL & Myers (clown show) Edited October 24, 2022 by ShawnAntoski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will sign before we get the chance its fine for you and me but an NHL GM can't wait for a guy to maybe make it to FA and then maybe sign with us that would be JB quality GMing I am hoping for better, but at this point I have no reason to believe it to be true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilduce39 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I really wonder if management continues to lean into this roster or if they’re going to hold off and look to sell and shuffle the deck… and then how much will they sell? When you get past the depressing situation it’s kind of interesting to see how a smart, veteran management group deals with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers missed one game for Tampa and has played 5 games in the /NHL this season I am just guessing here, but I think Myers might be a little more NHL ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
