Playoffs?

The 3peat last year wad their last chance. Too many wholes to fill with 0 cap and 0 trading pieces.

 

[Fabiobest]

I will repeat this untile you ban me.
I really miss Ryan McDonagh.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

If this keeps up, a package trade with Fortier/Koepke + whatever needs to made for D help. There is no way Vasy can bail out this D.

 

[JTBF81]

So getting rid of McD was a great idea right.....

Heck, I miss Bogo.

 

[Fabiobest]

Heck, I miss Bogo.

For sure, but McD is one of the best Dman in the league. And I miss him

Friendly reminder they kept Illorn over McDonagh and Palat

Who needs defense when we score 1 goal a game and leave our goaltending out to dry...

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Good job Drago

 

[Stammertime91]

Haven't been able to watch tonight. How bad are we looking?

A nightmare.
Killorn was and is the only player expendable
I love Killer, but no way he's more important than McDonagh, for this team.

 

[TheFurryPickle]

get off the ice ya thug

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Pass pass pass pass

 

[Point21]

Jarry is looking to get punched in the face

 

[Fabiobest]

Also Luke Schenn would be really useful right now.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Haven't been able to watch tonight. How bad are we looking?

A lot of turnovers, guys not in position, overall sloppy. Offense hasn't been able to make up for our issues too. Elliott has been fantastic though.

It's Game 3, but we've got a long way to go. It's easy to point the finger at the dmen, but the team defense has been poor

 

[TheFurryPickle]

our luck would turn around if we won a face off.

 

[JTBF81]

Just to be clear, even with keeping the anchor Killorn over seriously trying to keep Palat, they had 8.05 million they chose to use on Names, Myers and Cole rather than McD+someone like Motte, or keeping Rutta+Motte+Cole(provided Cole could be useful). Having McD one more year may have cost the team to then move after this year, but has cost the defense far more for any chance this year.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Hagel is really screwing up his chance to play with 2 elite players.

I don't understand we let the Apostle, Jan Rutta go and then pay more for Cole.

 

[Point21]

Technically couldnt they wave that off since it was played with a high stick?

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Pittsburgh just does what they want

 

[DistantThunderRep]

EMBRACE THE SUCK.

Letting another team get 40+ shots at your goalie is never a good thing.

The team has so much work to do but I'm not sure they will be able to do it.
