Compher has been terrible at face offs all season.
These losses are on Lalonde. He has some weird forward lines at times. Playing Fischer as 4 line center is also a head scratcher.
I didn't know Compher struggled on faceoffs all season long. Rasmussen was 75% and plays on the same line. So why doesn't he take faceoffs?
I remember arguing with somebody about how the Abdelkader contract was horrendous when it was signed and this guy thought we locked up Gordie Howe in his prime…. Facebook wings fans are just another breed of special…
I think this team needs to have an epiphany and wake the hell up. Playoffs are still within reach. Lots of pressure I would say falls on the leadership and f coach now to get the guys out of this funk.
I know somebody will immediately say that the coach can’t play and skate on the ice during the games and yes at the end of the day the players have to play to win, but it’s the coaches job to prepare them for the games, in this preparation includes having the team motivated and ready to go. Losing 8-2 and then 4-0 against the coyotes is not being motivated and or ready to go.
Lalonde didn't prepare the team. It will be interesting to see how they respond tonight. The opponent is much tougher, but we have to approach as it is game 7 and play structured, disciplined and physical.
Some big games today ... if somehow the devils penguins and capitals all win before the wings game tonight were not gonna make he playoffs
Its gonna be a shitshow till the end of the season
No. It will be tougher and the team has to dig harder. Give 110% every shift.
Perron has to make up for last night penalty.
Fabbri has to make up for the slam dunk he missed vs Avs.
DeBrincat has to score. He is getting chances.
Kane has to show the leadership. He is the most talented player on the team and has the most experience.
Seider and Chiarot have to hit everything in sight. Take a penalty but make it count.
