That’s all she wrote tonight

I hear the Fat Lady tuning up!!

Let's see if either PP unit can actually not suck this time.

The 1st line has indeed been non-existent all night.

Man I hate it when this team gets many days off

 

[The Macho King]

One of our worst efforts of the season. Just pathetic.

We do awful coming off of breaks.

Remember the legendary "Morrow is the extra skater" moment a few years back?

This games line up decisions remind me a lot of that. Just inexplicable.

 

[Daximus]

Anyone know who the ginger bro is that is always in that spot? He seems like he's never unhappy.

 

[JoVel]

Well that sucked.

 

[Fabiobest]

See you Thursday guys!!!
Have a nice night!

I'm probably the 2nd most vocal Ryan Callahan supporter but J.F.C man it's not a wonder this guy never gets any power play time. The first thing he does is stage himself 5 feet in front of the goaltender and stare at the puck during the cycle. You're not screening the goaltender, you're not in a position to put home an in tight rebound, you're not in a position to get a good pass, you're sure as hell not crashing the crease with your back turned. You're not really doing anything. I feel bad for him due to how much hard luck he's had but I'm starting to become more and more convinced that he's in fact luckier than hell to even have scoring chances at all.

The guy has been doing this for years. You literally park your ass in front of the net and wait for the puck to come to you. And in the last PP he's just free wheel skating as if he hopes a pass will come to him directly in the slot

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

We definitely suck after a break.

While Hedman made some good plays, he was definitely not skating with his usual effortless strides. Understandable but still...

 

[Lightning1995]

Meh, first game back, on the road.....on the other side of the continent.

Top line had an all star hang over. Had momentum going to the 2nd, but a couple dumb penalties turned the tide.

Heddy understandably was rusty. Oh, and the Jets are good, especially at home.

Time for revenge on Calgary.

 

[Master P]

Team will be fine. Nobody was really on their game tonight. That 2nd PP goal really killed any momentum the team had. It also doesn't help that we hit 3 posts. No worries though.

hahaha I'm a hard lurker. Always good to know what the enemy thinks.

I'll have you know I was one of those children in the car. Dad wasn't kidding. It was dark, gloomy, the mosquitoes were the size of helicopters and there was no wi-fi!

That's what I think!

No it wasn't. There were much, much worse then this.

Some of those penalties were straight up trash though. Winnipeg isn't a scary team.

Sure they are, they have size speed and skill.

Peca got named 3rd Star of the night. Well deserved! He's one of the few that came to play tonight.

 

[Steazy Doo]

I really can't see them making a dent. I've been wrong once before, though.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Ooo, Coop pretty much tagged the forward group as the problem tonight, not the defensemen. Hope 1st line was listening.

Ah well, Thursday is another day!

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Please. Please play better on Thursday.

I am confident they will as they do have a great record when I watch live. Will have to confirm but I think it’s 8-2 with me watching in the Saddledome. That includes game 4 in 04.

Mmm, mmm, mmmm! Nothing like some good ol' Canadian homecookin' to get the second half of the season started off just right.

And what year is this again? 1994? I haven't seen clutch-n-grab that bad in ages.

Team played like garbage, too.
