No one should be allowed to complain about this game. This is exactly what everyone wants isn't it? Exciting lossess? Kids that make mistakes? Goals, but not wins?
I don't know why there's a need to argue where the blame goes. We lost, awesome. It was a fun game, even better. Some kids got points, cherry on top. Move on to the next one, hope to lose that one as well.

Best post of the thread.
The young kids need to bear down according to Blashill.... What a disgusting takeaway from this group of vets ******* the bed.
I have defended Blashill a lot and yes I do still believe he has a future in this league. But my God this is one of those things he is going to have to evaluate before his next job. You can keep trying to throw younger players under the bus ala Babcock but when it doesn't make any sense at all don't say that. Yes Bert slashed a guy, but those vets that we were missing so bad on the pk got completely rattled and embarrassed themselves. This group listed above deserved heavy criticism and really only Larkin is the young guys when Blash speaks so for shame in his post-game for that crack.
Am I the only who feels like when Blashill goes home he uses a normal voice instead of the "hockey coach" impression he does in interviews?
I just watched the four PP goals. There was not great goaltending on any of them.
Goal 1 - Mrazek was set up expecting a straight shot and it got deflected. Not an awful goal, but when there are multiple Islanders in front of you and nothing between you and the shooter, you need to make yourself as big as possible. He was in a tight butterfly and it hurt him.
Goal 2 - The worst of the lot. He overaggressively challenged the shooter with a guy on his door step. Anders Lee got an easy one because Mrazek slid too far and couldn't control the rebound. Sliding across like that is alright if they don't have a guy on the edge of the crease to put home the easy rebound you're bound to give up.
Goal 3 - 100% screened. Never once saw it. That's on his teammates and good work by the Islander's forward. However, if the view is completely blocked like that... what's the chance that a puck gets through those two bodies? He left the upper corner open and Leddy took it.
Goal 4 - This was another Mrazek special. Slide aggressively too far and a cross ice pass kills you.
Ottawa is picking up steam. Hopefully we finish 3rd or 4th last.
One can dream.....
March is coming.
Trading Green will cost the team a little bit.
But the March schedule is brutal.
I'm predicting we finish in 30th place UNLESS the Rangers' coach buys into tanking.

Why did the PK unit continually allow the Isles to gain and then set up in our end?
That was the worst display of penalty killing I have ever seen. It was disgusting

I see us finishing more around #29 don't see us being worse then either Arizona or Buffalo but who know's i would love for us to have the 2nd worst record in the league. Just one step closer to making Dahlin a reality.March is coming.
