Do I understand correctly that both Sheary and Jeannot are healthy scratches? That's 4.6 million, like whole Ryan O’Reilly. I think JBB is the worst GM in the league right now

Yeah, inexcusable.

Really hope Jeannot is moved. If he had such a high value with us, maybe we can dupe some dingaling dumber than JBB to give us a 4th for him.

 

[Antiramie]

How good do you think this roster actually is? Our blueline is a joke.

Hedman and Kuch are playing as bad as anyone. Keep telling us how it’s a personnel issue.

 

[Felonious Python]

We need someone to pull us into the fight. We're a bunch of good boys trying to stay healthy for imaginary later rounds.

 

[The Gongshow]

Yeah, inexcusable.

Really hope Jeannot is moved. If he had such a high value with us, maybe we can dupe some dingaling dumber than JBB to give us a 4th for him.

He absolutely has to move Sheary and Jeannot for anything. f***, even future considerations is better than those two knobs

 

[T REX]

Just breathe folks. We were freaking out doing the same thing vs the NYR and the Leafs 2 years ago

Two very different rosters.

LBH, this roster is poorly constructed. We are getting our ish pushed in.

No fight. None. They game planned for Kuch. JBB put this crap together.

He owns it.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Sounds like you’re saying “fire Cooper”.

Not necessarily, but the Bolts have to play to their strengths, and just accept they're not going to win many games 2-1. The old saying is defense wins championships, and that's completely true, but the Bolts just don't have the means to play that style. You can play responsible, and that's really all you can hope for. What they've tried to do for 4 periods hasn't worked. Let's see some adjustments now.

The 11-7 should be good for the Bolts in that you try to find mismatches for double shifting Pointer or Kuch, but both guys haven't had a big impact yet. If the Bolts are going to be successful, obviously those guys have to get going.

Hedman and Kuch are playing as bad as anyone. Keep telling us how it’s a personnel issue.

Yeah they’re giving off this ‘we won cups and are going to the HOF so we don’t have to worry’ vibe

 

[Stammertime91]

They're shutting down Kuch and now he's going to do something stupid and get suspended for game 3 because he's getting frustrated. This is heading down that 2019 CBJ series road in a hurry.

Yeah. He definitely channeled goonerov during that scrum. Someones about to eat the glass or get elbowed. Kuch with a game misconduct and suspension is all we need to see.

I'll eat my hat if that comes true and I'll live up to my word unlike @Whoshattenkirkshoes

Hedman and Kuch are playing as bad as anyone. Keep telling us how it’s a personnel issue.

The Panthers have a lot to do with that.

 

[Antiramie]

Coop saw us steal a win against FLA late in the regular season when Vasy goalied them and said “hell yea that’ll work for an entire series!”

f***ing clown.

The Panthers have a lot to do with that.

Coop not adapting his scheme also has a lot to do with that.

 

[The Gongshow]

The Panthers have a lot to do with that.

Give credit where it's due, Panthers are playing well, they have their gameplan and are sticking to it. They have made Tampa a nonfactor in every sense.

But JBB iced this roster.
Coop is playing this system or not shaking up lines.
Players have no motivation. No leaders to get the boys going, it certainly doesn't look like Coop is providing much motivation anymore. Our captain doesn't give a f*** cause our idiot GM isn't re-signing him

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Hedman and Kuch are playing as bad as anyone. Keep telling us how it’s a personnel issue.

Maybe Hedman and Kucherov not playing well is a Hedman and Kucherov problem more than it's a Cooper problem. He's not out there on the ice, there's only so much control he has after a certain point.

 

[Stammertime91]

Seeing Cernak out there means he must've put +5 into durability after last game.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Dumbass is so f***ing bad

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Pointer!!!

 

[Stammertime91]

ON THE BOARDDDD

NEVER DOUBTED THEM

 

[Todd1a]

Duclair and pointer

 

[FinnLightning26]

POINT!!

 

[Stammertime91]

HAHAHAHA STANLEY HERE WE COME

 

[StammerHammer]

Pointer

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Ok, there's one.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

SHOTS CAN BE GOALS!!!!!!!!!!

 

[gn2007]

JUST LIKE THAT BOYS!!!

 

[T REX]

FLUKE but I'll take it

 

[Todd1a]

Yeah, inexcusable.

Really hope Jeannot is moved. If he had such a high value with us, maybe we can dupe some dingaling dumber than JBB to give us a 4th for him.

What’s sad is we will need to move a draft pick to move Jeannot away! Will JBB do that and admit that trade was a mistake?
