*Buzzsaw* Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 As I have said for the last two years... this team does not lack firepower... even with Horvat gone we can score. What it lacks is a competent D-Core... that is what needs addressing. If we had a competent set of defensemen, we would be in the playoffs, even with Martin and Delia. One of the big reasons Delia and Martin are not playing particularly well is they are shell-shocked from having the number of give-aways and lack of D-coverage. What concerns me is I am still waiting for management to make room the defensive upgrades the team needs. There are two ways to do that.... trades for D assets, or trades that dump CAP. Right now I am seeing nothing like that happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horvat had better game than Miller. Brock Boeser had a goal and 3 assists. Don't just look at the stats...watch the game. Blocking shots like a boss (Petey too). That goal he set up was a really crafty bit of work. He battled hard for the puck on the boards too...but that doesn't show on the scoresheet even though it contributes to it. 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mustard Tiger Posted February 10 Popular Post Share Posted February 10 Hahah I was dying watching Bo have to answer about blowing that game against us. All the classic lines got busted out. You could see the embarrassment in him No hard feelings Bo it's just business bud. Not your fault Miller is clearly the better 2C and EP is light-years ahead in terms of 1C 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller was fantastic tonight. Our best players were better than their best players. 1 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CanuckFan1123 Posted February 10 Popular Post Share Posted February 10 Imagine being upset that we won… I understand Bedard is a generational talent but literally cheering against your team to win is so ignorant. Especially when the chances of getting Bedard are slim regardless where we finish. Get team tank out of here. Just sit back and enjoy the ride and whatever happens, happens. Miller killed it. Brock had his best game of the year. Petey and Hughes played well. Be proud of your team. 8 1 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DeNiro Posted February 10 Popular Post Share Posted February 10 Poor media really wanted to call an Islanders win. Too bad! Good strategic win tonight. Increases the chance the Isles pick will be higher. Shows how elite our offense is. Traded our top goal scorer and still put up 6 against supposedly one of the top defensive teams. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller, Petey, Beau were way better than Horfat. Oh, and Brock had four points! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebuilding defense takes time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t make sense to me. Next season I could care less about them but when our draft pick is literally tied to how well they do why would you cheer for them?

You notice Miller and EP all night.. Good or bad. You never notice Bo. He's just a safe quiet player Good thing we got away from that type of leadership and coaching though.
