Zadorov has legitimately been our best player

 

[TruKnyte]

wtf was that pass

 

[PG Canuck]

Moments like this we see what Tocchet is made of.

This team playing low shot hockey is a year long thing, not a one game thing.

Pettersson isn't expected to hit 100 points while dragging around non-legit top6 wingers. Mikheyev isn't one, and Hoglander is shooting an unsustainable clip, and hasn't been trusted on the PP.

This build ignores winger and PMD talent to its detriment. No team is perfect, but this one was knowingly built with 1 PP capable winger in mind, and it shows.

The f*** do wingers have to do with the Powerplay? lmao.

When this team had a healthy Demko and Pettersson playing serviceably, they were very very good.

When you remove two superstar players from a team, they have been not nearly as good.

You're trying to frame not having another quality 2nd line winger as being a bigger problem that two superstars being missing ... which is ludicrous.

Pettersson scored 100 points last year with Mikheyev and Kuzmenko as his primary wingers. He was on pace for it again this year until going absolutely AWOL in the last 2-3 months of the season.

 

[Bleach Clean]

One goal against is solely on Pettersson, another goal is largely on him. Then you take into account his endless miss plays with the puck offensively as your 11.6 mill game breaking superstar...

That's not narrative, that's fact, that's accurate. Watch a guy like Pasta or other 11 mil+ players and come back and tell me our guy is on that level.

He hasn't been, but he that doesn't make him the reason this team can't score overall. He's a contributor, sure, but not the reason overall.

 

[canuckking1]

2 shots all period? Pathetic

 

[VanillaCoke]

Stop f***ing with your lines and actually load up the top6.

No reason for mik with ep halfway through the third.
Time for lotto line.

 

[Nucker101]

4th line shouldn’t see another shift

 

[LordBacon]

Zadorov has legitimately been our best player

Good for him,
Terrible for the team

 

[drax0s]

Hoglander has been a big disappointment. Completely invisible out there.

He looks kinda tentative - like the intensity has him playing scared.

 

[TruKnyte]

4th line shouldn’t see another shift

1-2-3-4

 

[VanJack]

When the season is done, we're going to find out Pettersson is playing through some sort of injury.

That surely has to be it.....suddenly he just has no 'separation speed' at all.

 

[M2Beezy]

I have no faith in Brock Boeser to initiate any type of offensive sequence

 

[Lawzy]

This is quite possibly the least clutch performance I have ever seen (I refuse to believe game 7 of the SCF happened in 2011).

 

[MS]

How is that not a penalty on Lauzon? Basically punched Lafferty in the face there.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I wish they'd have the balls to dress Lekerrimaki.

What is the opposite of clutch?

If that’s the case I have no idea why they didn’t rest him earlier.

he's in sweden

 

[Nucker101]

I’m actually thinking he plays in playoff gear all season so everyone else has now joined him in 5th gear

 

[Kryten]

Should be clapping bombs from the point at every chance. f*** this slap pass zero finish

 

[Oliewud]

suter f***ing sucks lol

 

[Hammman]

I wish they'd have the balls to dress Lekerrimaki.



What is the opposite of clutch?

He's on a different continent right now, so that'd be hard

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I have no faith in anyone doing anything. Nashville is keeping everything to the perimeter.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

We have three days off. Mikheyev, the fourth line and Juulsen shouldn't see another shift.
