[The Gongshow]

Disgraceful performance. Serg and Raddysh are an atrocious pairing, and the defense as a whole was a joke. This team flat out must be 10x better while Vasy is out or they won't even be in striking distance when he does.

This is what people need to realize. Most teams out of playoffs by December miss the playoffs. They need to be in the dance when Vasy comes back or the season is a lost one (we don't have a 1st, 2nd or 3rd rd pick)

in hindsight our window closed the second we traded mcdonagh. i don’t think hedman has even regressed defensively he just can’t handle the tough minutes mcdonagh played. sergachev can’t play defense if he isn’t sheltered like crazy either.

 

[Sky04]

Jeannot hattrick next game.

 

[DFC]

Why give up all that for Jeannot and sign him and then not even play him. I don't think he's that great, but he should have at least thrown the body when things got chippy

Did you see any signs he was gonna throw the body? I think he would have gotten more shifts if he'd shown some teeth. He didn't, so we needed guys who might score.

...Here lies Tanner Jeannot...

This may be JBB 1st trade failure

 

[Sky04]

Watch our discount Jeannot, Watson come in and outplay him.

Agreed, the trade(and extension tbh) looks worse and worse if all he's going to be is a 4th line plug that basically does nothing. Very pleased so far they prioritized him over others, it's working great....

 

[DFC]

This may be JBB 1st trade failure

It's worth about 4 failures in the current failure market.

 

[These Are The Days]

Eh oh well. On to Ottawa

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Bleh. Was hoping for a continuation of what we saw in the Nashville game. To say we were bad defensively was an understatement. I wasn't crazy about some of the goals JJ let in, but this loss is not on him. He more than did his part with how many big saves he had to make to keep this close. Normally I'd say shake it off, but we have Tomkins making his NHL debut tomorrow, and it's an unknown of how he'll handle that. We really need to be ready and sharper to give ourselves a shot. Can't give Tomkins the same kind of help we gave JJ and expect a better result.

 

[Felonious Python]

As a gossipy thing... I wonder if Sergei Fedorov will see his number retired under Yzerman? Fedorov had a weird exit from Detroit. Never too sure where he and Yzerman stood with each other.

Fedorov is head coach of CSKA Moscow. The old Red Army Team.

Maybe just because of current events, they couldn't do it.

Yeah, that's about as good as we can expect from JJ in a game like that. Team has to overcome it by just flat out being more focused. We looked like we wanted a track meet, got it, and couldn't keep up.

With how fast teams have gotten around the league now it's insane we prioritized Tanner Jeannot as a target. Tampa got smoked tonight in terms of speed, and that's sitting ABB, Watson and Bogo out. This was our fastest lineup.

 

[Rschmitz]

Nothing I hate more than careless plays by the supposed leaders on the team. Lazy, stupid play from our defensemen is going to sink this team this year

 

[Antiramie]

Gonna be a lot of 5-4 games til Vasy's back.

Hold onto your butts...

 

[DFC]

I think the team is used to not showing any urgency until it's needed, which tends to come later in the year. But this year is obviously different. A lot of the teams in our division have gotten a lot better, and we don't have a real starting goalie until... well, we don't even know.

[Hoek]

So much for that newfangled defensive system. Sure looked like the same ol' lazy road performance

The structure doesn't do the work. The players do.

Oh don’t try to hold players accountable you will become as popular as the plague.

 

[Major4Boarding]

FTR - Martin Jones ain't gonna fix this shit! So don't even start bringing that shit to my monitor!

 

[JoVel]

At least Buffalo is still without any points.

 

[T REX]

Probably need to average 4 goals a game to have a chance til vasy gets back. I thought we had a blue collar approach in game 1, while this one was very sloppy. Go Bolts.

 

[Stammertime91]

I was going to mention Jeannot but I see others already have. The guy is f***ing useless. What we saw last year was better. He looks as slow and mediocre as ever. Not useful on the forecheck and he doesn't do much to set the tone. Certainly not like his reputation says he should.

We need to hit 4 goals a game in order to have a chance. New system looks well, new? Old? Bad? Sure.

Not defending his play but I'm sure he's feeling a ton of pressure to produce points. I think that might be taking away from his physical game a bit.

Gonna be a lot of 5-4 games til Vasy's back.
