If this management group doesn’t manage this better we’re gonna be repeating the same mistakes that got us here.

 

If you’re gonna be bad be really bad. And no I don’t mean telling the players to lose on purpose. There are ways you can weaken your roster to take care of that.
 

That starts with actually trading players at the deadline. Calling up young guys and giving them real minutes. And resting Demko down the stretch.

 

We’ll probably get 8 or 9 pts in Tocchet’s first 10 games. Should still be plenty in the race for Bedard by then. See what happens when Demko comes back

Pp was bad almost gave up many chances,goaltending was bad,not capitalizing more on chances = sloppy!

They held them to 5 even strength shots. That's cerebral, not sloppy.

 

That hardly ever happens and it wasn't due to dumb luck. They just outworked their opposition. They'd win 8/10 games playing that way even competing against good teams. They forced their defense to chip pucks because they threatened the hits and established a physical presence early on, they got the pucks going up ice when needed and didn't have too many ill-timed attacks on the puck. If anything they just lacked execution and should have had a few more goals. Did Delia have more than two high danger chances against? And we missed on how many of ours?

 

Hate the coach all you want but he had the team prepared the right way tonight. Bo played a great game but couldn't hit the broadside of a barn unless the net was empty tonight. Petey couldn't even release the puck tonight. Brock was unlucky not to score and most of our goals were earned the right way: dirty.

 

The game wasn't flawless but it sure as hell wasn't sloppy.

And people laughed when he chose us.

 

Seems like he made a very smart choice. Probably going much better than he could have expected.

Yep. Petey seemed a bit nervous to start the game, but that deke and pass on Kuz’s 2nd goal? Wow

Canucks, walked it like they Tocchet.  

 

Like the team defense, impressive holding any team to 14 shots.  Minutes very nicely distributed and been happy with what we've heard from Tocchet so far.  Nice to hear the words "pick possession" again since not only did they hold the other team to 14 shots, they put up 48 themselves.

 

If this was a better team than Chicago we would've lost with Delia in net but nice to see positives in places we were struggling.

 

Let the tank continue.

Slow down it was a team worse then us,say it was Tampa with 5 minutes only they beat us so please be realistic. 

 

We played a decent game at best but was far from great.
