Post-Game Talk (GBU): #21 The Good, the Bad, and the Snakebitten

[Chainshot]

The Good -

- Some quality play most of the night, chances, etc...
- The 4th line punching above their weightclass tonight.

The Bad -

- Luck. They have bad, bad luck right now.

The Ugly -

- Their goal totals. At some point the damn is going to burst right? Right?

The dam too.

So frustrating. This game should not have been close. I have to say it was a really good game all around except for the bleeping finishing.

 

[MackAttack26]

Good: General play, outplayed them, earned the chances

Bad: Lack of finish. Game 21. Time for the madness to stop

Ugly: Approaching last in the league again...

Awesome: We'll have Auston Matthews to displace Gionta or Moulson from the top 6!

Uglier: Bylsma will put Matthews on the 3rd line.

There's not really much to complain about other than the lack of finish. They played a terrific game.

I will say this: this team has definitely learned that nothing comes easy in this league, a lesson which I think a team like Colorado didn't learn and now they're paying for it.

 

[Bearbait]

Uglier: Bylsma will put Matthews on the 3rd line.

No way, he'll send ROR to the press box to teach him some sort of lesson and Gionta will play 30 minutes a night......

G:
-Almost everything, except

B:
-the damn lack of finish!

U:
-Losing in spite of outplaying our opponent

The dam too.

That too.

 

[Woodhouse]

At least four posts and probably as many near misses .. yeah, this loss is on the finishing.

Seems to be a common theme this evening.

We need wider nets!

Lost the game putting eichel out on a dzone draw up 1.

Seems we lost as we could not punch more goals in...

 

[EichHart]

We haven't been able to finish at all this year, but last year we were able to always get lucky with their finishes. Makes tons of sense.

 

[DJN21]

Seemed at times like we man handled a better team and lost...it happens to good teams. Can't be mad about this one...

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Man I love OReilly: "We're too ok with losing."

 

[Ralonzo]

At some point the damn is going to burst right? Right?

I busted about 50 damns toward my TV tonight.

 

[TalkingProuder]

Maybe they should just focus on shooting the puck in practice. This is getting ridiculous.

 

[Wisent42]

This was such a frustrating loss. ROR rings one off the left post, Larsson off the right, Gionta hit the bar. Add Cola's shot off the goalie's shaft. It's ridiculous. Then Blues score a couple of crap goals and win the game.

Right after the game I switched over to the fotball game. I watched it until Bills kicker hit the post. Then I gave up.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

The dam too.

 

[Moskau]

Man I love OReilly: "We're too ok with losing."

Ennis laughing with someone (Bogosian I think) with like 8 minutes to go because his line was offside (again) certainly seemed that way.

 

[Wisent42]

I honestly thought Gionta had a good game but I still can't resist, so...

Hey, I found this video of ROR and Gionta!

 

[Oakstream]

When we were up 1-0 and Gionta hit the crossbar I "knew" we were gonna lose. Right after they got a lucky goal. I just knew how it was gonna end. This team has NO luck.

 

[gallagt01]

Bad: Losing a game they probably deserved to win.

Good: Playing so well against a good team that they probably deserved to win.

I'll be patient. This was a good bounce-back effort after the awful game in Dallas.
