More like your standard reaction to having your actual words responded to when they're "not what you mean" but alright.stop trying to do your standard piling on of a misread post…

Yawn…talk about standard responses. that's your high-road go-to... lol glad we cut all the other steps out first, I had other shit I want to do tonight
Yep, Osh w/ a great goal then Stromer & Mantha (!) miss. Lindgren tried a poke check on Brink and didn't get the puck so that was the G winner.So we lose?
OT/SOs kinda own us as well.The flyers kinda own us lately
I’m trying to move on…he doesn’t get it.You two fighting back and forth are so annoying, take it to the DMs
It's so awful.Screw 3 on 3 OT.
He's a non-factor. Just sad.The frustration is visible on Ovi’s face now. Every time the camera pans over to him on the bench, looks like he’s swearing (not sure if English, Russian or both).

Caps were I think 4-0 in SOs before tonight.OT/SOs kinda own us as well.
Russian machine is broke.
This is what you get with youth. I mean, Fever and Malenstyn should know better but those are the little things that 30 year olds make and why there is always room for vets. I’m still good with youth movement and will accept some of that. The other side of youth like CMM and Protas is great to see.On the plus side… they’re starting to score, the PP looked better, structure looks better in all three zones, and they played well for a good portion of the game.
On the negative side, defensive zone turnovers were awful and cost them a regulation win. Brutal plays by Fever and Malenstyn on what should have been two routine clears and they end up in the net when Philly had no momentum. Very reminiscent of the loss vs Dallas when they were controlling play and kept giving Dallas chances with brain dead plays and penalties. They have to be better at situational hockey and understanding that there are times to try things and press and other times where you just make a simple play and let the next line get on the ice.
His immense strength is still there, it was on display tonight when he'd make what looked like little shoves and still send people hard into the boards, he just needs to start using it even if it tires him out in front and see where that gets him. That's the thing that he can still give, insane strength and effort, but he has to find a new level to channel it because he's arguably past the point of just floating in the soft spots... as he stands right now, he's not quick enough to get to the soft spots.Yeah, and I think he sees how ineffective he has been.
I think he needs to change his game one more time if he wants to keep going. One idea would be to look at what Corey Perry did. When he lost some of his natural abilities, he became a master garbage collector in front of the net.
