This is our thanks for dealing with this crap all season. You all deserve one too but since you aren’t getting one I figure I’ll get an order of fries for the board and hopefully there’s enough for everyone to at least have one

Z did not look happy that his jersey off the back went to some middle-aged man instead of an attractive early-20 something woman in the lottery.

Strome would be a perfect 4th liner.. But way to expensive.. So yes we are stuck with him..

Take boss Ross off that list, also I really truly don’t get the strome hate. He’s fine for his pay. Intangibles matter on a team rapidly losing the old guard of players and a team so young.

Johnston is an empty suit. He has 133 hits, only 5 more than Jones does in 14 more games. None of his hits are the type that impact a game. Only a very small number of his fights are more than a hug fest. People calm down when he comes over, but he hasn’t been the one to hunt down and inflict punishment on the guys who cheap shot our players.

We need an enforcer.

We need an enforcer that another team hasn’t cut loose for no longer being any good at the job, which is mainly what we’ve had.

If Jones wasn't made out of glass... At least when Jones does make some hits, they look bone crushing due to Jones' speed and mass.

When we were down 2-0 tonight is when I thought Johnston should have made himself known to rile up the team, but we sleepwalk through two periods before the Silf line started getting shots on the net in the third.

Having Des here and watching him develop into more than an enforcer (PK specialist) has us spoiled on what an enforcer should be like.

Ross Johnston is so bad at hockey.

And I'm done with Gibson. I defended him for a long time, thinking that he'd improve with better defense. Instead he got worse. Cut him loose.

Sorry, Silf, you deserved better, and I thought you were going to score high glove one last time, but it was not to be. So long and thanks for all the fish.

With all the Gibson rumors over the years, I never once had the sense he would actually be moved. For the first time ever, I now feel like he actually is done this summer. It's as much to do with Dostal proving himself, but I think the time will finally come this off season. Move him for another struggling goalie with less contract, and officially turn the reigns over to the new guard

Johnston and Groulx are comically bad - even for 4th liners

I can’t believe we sat Nesterenko wtf

Yeah I had hopes that BOG could be a quality bottom six center, we were hearing a lot of good things about his character and smarts coming up as a prospect. But it would appear that his talent just isn't up to par to actually make plays at this level.

My takes from game:

Zegras good.
Gibson looks legit cooked. Shame.
Ross is what he is but atleast he aint no Jared Boll.
What is goalie interference anyway?
