Any positives in this game so far?

They haven't played an A+ game, but Calgary is fun to watch.

and those jerseys are str8 fire. Glad they switched full time.

 

[Tob]

Had we shipped out Zucc in the summer for a full year's service, we could have tanked a bit harder and gotten a bit more value. Maybe the offers weren't there. This offense is bad enough to be bottom 3.

 

[Leonardo87]

Any positives in this game so far?

Didn’t get shut out.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Kreider is as good as gone next deadline

 

[Machinehead]

Every game I feel like somebody puts up 3 or 4 points against us and I just sit here and think "we can't do that. We don't have that guy."

Except Pionk. He usually puts up 3 or 4 in certain categories.

 

[Black Aces]

Any positives in this game so far?

Good for tank.

 

[Tob]

lmfao, Staal skates behind the net in the offensive zone and misses the puck and doesn't have the energy to skate back.

I don't think anyone wanted him in the summer. Always optimism you can get offense from the existing roster and not have to give up assets.

I thought the game started much later in US just woke up this morning soon 5 am.

 

[RedHot]

A view from the other side, but is Marc Staal usually this bad? He done nothing but give the puck away all night....

 

[Edge]

Man I remember the two games after the trade deadline everyone telling me scoring wasn't going to be a problem.

I just gave up fighting that battle.

At some you just say, “We’ll see” and let things play out.

But I never understood how losing two guys from our top two lines wasn’t going to be a problem, or how we were going to start making up points post TDL.

Shity hockey > no hockey...

 

[Messrules11]

Does anyone play the body anymore? Getting blown out and no fight at all, sickening

basically yes. especially against teams that can pressure him as quickly as the flames can

Yes

When Lemieux's white stick blends with the ice, he looks like a wizard guiding the puck with his hands

This is the time the board degenerates to the tank / don’t take pointless debate. I will just post this midway through the third every game from now on:

Full-Tank: Lose for Hughes!

Semi-Tank: It’s nice to lose but prospects are not progressing.

Anti-Tank: You can’t tank and be competitive, are you happy now?

Never-Tank: How can you root for a loss???

PS - I’m officially semi-tank.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Is Howden good at faceoffs or is this my selective memory?

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Every game I feel like somebody puts up 3 or 4 points against us and I just sit here and think "we can't do that. We don't have that guy."

Except Pionk. He usually puts up 3 or 4 in certain categories.

Hopefully when this process is over well have some guys like that

 

[Gresch04]

The future is much brighter. That’s all we can look forward to.

Only because the present can’t get any darker.

Please don't get them started.

You are seeing him on a good night.

As the official spokeman and president of the Marc Staal is not very good lobby, yes, in the last 25 or so games, the wear and tear has reduced him from a slow and immobile defenseman that tries his best to make sound defensive plays in the defensive zone to a slow and immobile defenseman that just throws the puck toward the general vicinity of his D partner and hope it's received and received in a position where his defensive partner can move the puck.
