One thing Coop did right was finally bench Kuch in the 3rd

3rd period ice times:

Kucherov - 4:06
Stammer - 3:45

Johnson - 6:54
Palat - 6:24
Point - 8:05

MESSY, but what do you expect?

I don't like that number for Stamkos

 

[CupsOverCash]

Between missing Hedman, Cernak, Point and Cirelli probably still hurt, a backup and 5 freaking PK's we were playing with a handicap all night.

I get it. Injuries to some of our better players but the effort was pretty bad at times. At least we took advantage of Schneider being in there. How many saves did the guy end up with? Like 13-14?

 

[DFC]

That was ****ing embarrassing.

It's one thing to outplay an opponent and lose. Tonight we got demolished and won vs. a bottom feeding team.

Agreed, I thought Stamkos at least hustled and looked alright. Missed the net on 3 prime shots though Kucherov dragged him down tonight.

I really wanted to see Volkov play well with Kuch and Stammer, but no luck. At least Palat - Point - Johnson is looking good as a line

Watching Cooper trying to put lipstick on this pig was tough to stomach.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Bolts jump up into the 2nd wildcard spot for the moment. Only 1 point behind Toronto with 2 games in hand.

 

[DFC]

Verhaeghe had his best game. Palat and Point looked great, and Sergachev had some moments. I don't think there was another positive. McElhinney, maybe. I was seriously hoping we would lose to get the clock started on Cooper. That was terrible.

What he say?

Only in the NHL.

What he say?

Mostly sugar coating the miserable play in front of the net and in our own end as though it's a minor nit.

Its like Boucher's "The Process" sequel

 

[ccman68]

He's been brutal. Not to mention he's been riding the bench because of it too, ironically. Have you been watching? He's been awful man.


This team sucks down low. Third time I've said it tonight. No awareness or grit in the most dangerous area. The like what? 3 win devil's team has 6 goals on us? Inexcusable..

Only line that was decent this game and I feel like Kucherov was the main reason for that. Sure he had a few bad plays but way less than usual and he had a lot of great plays that led to good chances for us.

Please tell me you're kidding. Kucherov was terrible again tonight, regardless of what the chart says.

Obviously he's not. Chart tops everything else. Get with it.

 

[Steazy Doo]

Yeah that chart is no bueno

 

[These Are The Days]

Its like Boucher's "The Process" sequel

Nothing will ever be that bad again. Getting outshot 40-20 every night but losing 4-1 a whopping 1/4 on the PP and zero ability to score even strength and the only set play is for the high forward to drop the puck back to the blue line after zone entry. When nothing changes make faces and scream louder. "DA SYSTEM" is as low as it gets.

Jon Cooper hockey is GOD compared to that shit. At least right now we are actually trying to revamp back to our old forecheck strategy and can palpably prove Kucherov is playing bad. Oh yeah and we can actually score goals at even strength. The only downside is getting outshot and that can and will change


We are absolutely terrible right now no mistake but it's a far cry from a coach refusing to adjust. At least Coop actually has attempted to adjust. We're not gonna see results until Kucherov is better

If you simply watched how many bad passes and turnovers Kuch had that would be enough. A line is made up of 3 people. Volkov and Stammer were working, Kuch coasted.

 

[Maelmoor]

I take an ugly win over a beautiful loss any day!

The PowerPoint line was great (with the nerdy reference ppt = PalatPointTyler!), good to see that hard work pays off

 

[BoltsOfAnarchy]

**(with arrogant gum chuckle)... “well i thought Jan had a really solid game, he did some good things out there. You have to think, he hasn’t played much this season so a fresh body at the late stage of a game right?....plus we didn’t have heddy” (2nd chuckle)
..Next question

Lol...

Watching the game vs watching a chart.

He was awful.
