Post-Game Talk: Jake "All-in" for an NFL-type score!

[LaP]

Entire roster being bottom 5 is grossly exagerated but i was just mentioning that watching games back then was way more fun then warching them now for me, but of course if you're not watching it's not the same

Watching games during the Patch/Subban/Markov/Price era was the most fun i had watching this team since 94. I was not only having fun watching the games but i was actually following the team via 24 CH. I was rooting for the team and the players and was cursing the refs etc like a real fefan. I could not care less about the current bunch tbh i'm just actively waiting for the team to get better.

Not a big fan of Suzuki i find him quite vanilla to be honest. He's a lot like Hischier or post cancer Koivu. Not a bad player but that's about it. I like Caufield but i honestly found Patch more exciting to watch with his constant off the rush offence. Caufield will be more effective in playoffs though. Guhle is a good player but not really my type though i thought he would hit more than he does honestly. I like Xhekaj but like Emelin he's more of a depth player for now i'll love him more once we have a good team in front of him for sure. I like Slaf and Dach a lot though hope they will both reach their potential. Hope we can land Cayden Lindstrom next draft,

 

[MasterD]

to be fair he's had a rough month or so.

Sure.
Still not a pylon.

Most of us saw Hal Gill play. Gill was a pylon.
Murray Baron was a pylon.
Igor Ulanov.

Struble is young and inexperienced.

 

[Team_Spirit]

@LaP is day drinking dreaming about Slaf-Dach-Lindstrom again

 

[Redux91]

CC point streak ends at 11.
Suzuki and Slaf extend theirs to 8 and 5 respectively.

PK and Allen were atrocious.

Ey
Leave Subban alone eh?
Lol

 

[LaP]

Ey

Lol

PK has retired a few years ago and i feel like people will still be talking about PK in a 100 years

 

[BLONG7]

What?

Struble, our 22 years old rookie with 21 AHL games and 34 NHL games of experience, had a very rough night. For sure.

To call him a pylon though, shows you're either not watching the games, or very disingenuous.

I watched the game..............he was brutal. No business being on the ice to start the game.....we saw what happened.
I love the guy, not sure what you saw, but I saw brutal
try being honest about it......
Sit him for a game..............or two.

I feel the same about Struble as I do about the other dime a dozen soft Dmen the team likes to draft out of University. Serviceable for short periods and expendable. Not a difference-maker either way. I don't think he's a pylon, I just think he's ill suited for the physical play, I've said this since the start .. he's often physically dominated out there. The hit on the weekend could have happened to anyone I don't fault him for that, but he gets exposed a lot.

Pretty normal for a rookie out of College where they are playing once a week or twice at the most. And MSL is playing him big minutes, almost 20, on a regular basis. Way too much.

It would seem only The Sherriff and Barron have been held accountable......could be time for others, like Struble..............as a fan of MSL, his decisions make me shake my head at times....

Ho was Barron held accountable. They let him play and make mistakes and finally sent him to the minors.

Agreed with most of that.

Doesn't make him a pylon. A pylon is a guy who can't skate and pivot.

Struble is a young and inexperienced player, one with very good hockey IQ but lower than average pucks kills, that's getting exposed sometimes on a horrible team.

 

[Kimota]

No wonder our players are getting injured, we are overrun, outmanned cause of this stupid man to man style. St Louis is gonna damage all our young D core for years to come.

Now we see that all the crap we did with our three goalies didn't matter. Allen sucks and he may not be tradeable. And then we have a young goalie in Primeau was badly developed cause he didn't play enough. It was a mistake all around. Trade Allen or Waive him, I don't care. He has to go.

Yes, a rookie with 30 games of experience on a terrible team that's basically icing 1 line, and doing the stupid ménage-à-trois with goalies, should be held accountable. Accountable of what? Not being ready?

Xhekaj is being held accountable for taking stupid penalties all year. That's all there is to it.

Keep shaking your head, might end up screwing it on straight.

It’s going to be interesting to see what the report card looks like on Hughes a few years from now. In my opinion he overplayed his hand on Anderson by asking for too much and now we’re stuck with him. If he had a deal in place for Allen, a return would’ve been the least of my worries as well. Dumping him should’ve been the priority. He’s made some good trades but hopefully he doesn’t gain a reputation for trying to look like the smartest guy in the league when it comes to negotiations.

No structure jekyll & hyde hockey that once again is unwatchable.Maybe Marty should be the one apologizing to the players for his coaching staff's incompetence.

Accountability is putting him IN the minors.
He also sat some games to watch.

His inexperience as a NHL coach is glaring and as i stated long ago is starting to affect the rebuild.We don't expect many wins and were not looking at competing this year but the inconsistency from period to period not game to game is obvious .Why was Arber left out of the last game when playing a heavy team ,result,Harris concussed and Guhle with a useless late hit.Like it or not Arber makes players think a little more before taking cheap shots at us.I like Struble but its obvious that the game is naturally catching up to him and a little time in the stands is not a bad thing.

Couldn't agree more.

And his own.
