Ugly. Keep in mind that we have a very aptly named goaltending thread for people to discuss our goaltending situation in general.

Discuss the game. Or go out and celebrate that this year is over. I'd recommend the latter.

Hmmm. So what now?

Trouba and Ehlers were the only guys that didn't make me swear. This team has gotten far too easy to play against; particularly in our own end. I would really like to see some more physicality.

Cue the excuse generator.

So I started with the Minni-Columbus game. Lost 5 bucks on the Wild. Switched to the Jets game. All downhill. Hiting the Scotch and enjoying a Pens Habs OT. Only fun I've had all night.

Time to switch into party mode. Happy new year!

Yup-all geared up for today with the juniors and Jets. Wine, cognac and chocolate porter for me so far. Shouldn't get too ugly tho as chinese food is on the way. Noodles and batter good for soaking up etoh.

I'm at the point that if things don't turn around D soon to purge the whole management and coaching structure. That was pathetic, just pathetic.

I was at the game and I'm not sure you can pin this all on coaching. Nobody was good including Hellebuyck. The coaching is something you can debate but the players themselves also need to self motivate. Not a great game from anyone.

Someone should ask Chevy what exactly he's done other than win the lottery and draft.

Media has no balls though, questions are always generic babble.

The talent is there. If Chevy does not fire Maurice then Chevy should be fired for not firing Maurice.

Horrible game.

Goaltending was obviously bad, but they just aren't generating good scoring chances. I think they are cheating too much and need to counterattack more than taking chances. Of course, that's hard to do when the goalies let in every good chance and put the team behind.

I've been really disappointed with Wheeler's play. He's just very poor with the puck, and really bad in his own zone.

Trouba was the only D that was decent tonight. Postma was terrible in his own zone... very weak.

Jets might need to do something to shake things up, but not sure what the answer might be.

I think they should go to a full youth movement. The vets haven't earned a run at the playoffs.

Play Connor. Give Roslovic a look. Another high pick in the draft would be fine.
