Should be a good test for our defense on the top two lines. Winnipeg is rocking a 70% PK so I’d like to see a PPG tonight if not two . Winnipeg is also giving up 37 shots per game so I want to see lots of offense from us tonight as they give up lots of chances. Let’s get win #2 tonight

Damn this PP. I hate to say it, but Brindy needs to go.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Sounds like Necas will get a game this trip. Probably this one since I won't be able to watch it.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

still insane that we hvae only playd two games

 

[Breakdowns]

too much effort while making this GDT

 

[Unsustainable]

Let’s go

 

[Breakdowns]

I would be fine with giving a game to Necas tonight, Kuoks has been decent, but maybe it`s time see how Necas is doing, and then send him to Checkers or back to Czech league

 

[Buenos Necas]

go team!

 

[the halleJOKEL]

hey thats my line

 

[Neighbor Lee]

go let's

 

[dogbazinho]

Look forward to seeing Necas should he play. Seems like a good opportunity. Fire Rod.

 

[Stickpucker]

Looks like Winnie looking to win games 5-4 lets see how well that works out.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

we win gaem?

 

[AD Skinner]

Brind'amour will never be fired outright but he may get booted into another role, like director of swoleness development or something

 

[Tryamw]

We need points lots and lots of points so let's get 2 tonight.

 

[sheriff bart]

An actual game today? It can't be

 

[A Star is Burns]

I don't really care if they fire Rod or not at some point, but I'm not convinced that it would do that much to fix the power play.

 

[MinJaBen]

We need to keep our point streak going on this road trip.

This is where I'm at. Coaching can only go so far. At some point, it comes down to the players to execute.

Someone’s got to screen the goalie, someone’s got to shoot the f***ing puck, and someone’s got to get after rebounds.

I think this statement could have been said the last several years oh wait we have. I think it's like rinse lather repeat. I'd like to do something slightly different. I get that they want to set up Faulk but when that's your only play well. I am so shocked that he gets 2 of the 4 skaters on the ice guarding him. and as others have said the other guy up top is about as much threat to shoot as any Caniac in the stands AKA NONE.

We aren't allowed nice things like hockey games for our team it'd ruin some vast plot of the universe or something.

We don’t have anyone that works the halfwall like The Wizard did. I hope Aho can get there.
