So much for the Kings and their “unheralded” Selke winner, Kopitar.
You guys suck.
You guys suck.
Ahh, yes my bad. I was looking at it when they hadn't finished their game. Silly me.2 games in hand, isn't it? Devils playing their 71st against Kings and we have played 69?
Worst part is..
Barkov, Troch, and Huby are set to obliterate their career highs.
...and we STILL can't make the playoffs. That looks extremely pathetic.
More so I think it just shows more how much the team was struggling early on in the season. From a team that was in the bottom tier department in GAA the first couple of dozen of games and that had horrible special teams going towards league averages in GAA and getting pretty good special teams. But if the team does not make it, the improvements just kicked in too late.
I think that's a case to not play a blame game at all as coaching has done a great job in getting that development and the leagues youngest (?) defense has stepped out as well (offensively already one of the best d groups.). Acknowledge however that some of the fans here need something to put their negative emotions towards so we can expect something, perhaps depth is a good even though that has been good lately as well and maybe for the first half it is the truth as well and goes hand to hand with the first part I wrote, can't recall stats from there now.
well he needs to do some "damage" because this is not a playoff roster. not even close. we had to have a near perfect year with injuries to even get 9th place in the east. next year when one of the big 3 inevitably go down with injury its gonna be scary ugly. 2 more legit fwds and a real d man are needed or its just another wasted year for the core. I would say I can't believe how bad today went for the panthers...but I really can.It just shows how badly they killed the depth.
The good thing for you should be that this is the last year for some time that that's a problem, just as long Tallon doesn't do any more longterm damage before next season.
Perhaps to a degree like I said, I don't think it's a problem anymore however. I'm just inserting the argument that the team went with new coach and a more modern hockey style. The team was due to facing some adjusting time early on. It just took longer than expected to get to the better of it. But Boughner had also stated around mid season that he was astonished how much basic ground work he has had to do with the young players so part of it is in the coaching of the past as well.
Future indeed looks good they don't have to go through a youth cut or drive in a new ideology to the core anymore so they're in business from the get go for future seasons to come.

I wouldn't put Kovalchuk on this team. While I wouldn't mind him in NY where he wouldn't be the top top dog and it's always a marquee name revolving door anyway, he would stand out from the pack here and when a Mamin and his non superstar scoring means more towards wins and losses than a guy who scores 1 or 2 but responsible for letting 1 or 2, I think we don't need that.It's getting better for sure, as it should. But it was a massive problem on the 1st half and huge reason why they've been chasing that Wild Card spot for weeks.
Tallon bet on unproven players this year and right now it's not looking good for this years playoffs. There's still a chance but the team can't afford a single cold streak in remaining games.
Of course he needs to add someone, like go after Kovy. But not waste high end futures for players like Pac and hurt the longterm potential.
If two of NJ, Philly and CBJ continue their torrid win streak, there's nothing we can complain about. They will have earned it.New Jersey 82p (11g left -> 22p) -> 104p
Florida 77p (13g left -> 26p) --> 103p
Philadelphia 83p (10g left -> 20p) --> 103p
Columbus 83p (10g left -> 20p) --> 103p
The last 4 games expecially have shown we've returned to our regular programming. We were lucky to beat Rangers. Ottawa and Edmonton for crying out loud out husttled us and Reimer stole Boston win a game were shouldnt been in
