Those first 2 periods were horrible. Thank you Point line for salvaging the viewing experience.

 

[Hoek]

That cheap PP goal to make it 4-0 ends up turning a great comeback into not enough. Not that we deserved it. And yeah the first line didn't deserve to be out there at the end either.

 

[dechire]

Sergachev made some good, confident plays too.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Okay, you KNOW it's a weird night when...
Girardi is a +3, Koekkoek +2, and
Dotchin -3, Hedman -3 and Sergachev -1.

With Strålman adding another +1 to now be T-1st at +16

 

[Stammertime91]

Sustr is that obliviously bad beer league player that thinks:

"Koekkoek gets so many points and is so bad he barely plays, meanwhile nobody scores when I set them up."

 

[MattM92]

Quite possibly the worst game of Dotchin's career. Got walked twice that resulted in 2 goals against.

Not our night. Just don't go on a losing streak and it's fine. Wednesday vs Chicago is a must win.

f*** f*** f*** f*** f***

we are trash

all in for dahlin

 

[These Are The Days]

The lesson from that game is that we cannot forget to ruh roh. Or else we're gonna say ruh roh.

Agreed. Stamkos and Kucherov couldn't even register a single point. We should trade them before the rest of the league realizes how bad their contracts are.

I know it's a must win in the sense of not starting a losing streak but surely you don't mean outside of that context right?

 

[The Macho King]

Worst game of Dotchin's career. Played like ass and barely lost - so that's a positive.

 

[RegularSznAllStars]

Hope to see a much more awake team against chicago.

Shit we are gonna have to lose a lot of games for that. Keep Cooper.

 

[Rschmitz]

Yzerman should find ways to get more future 1st round picks with the #1 overall a total crapshoot now. Trade our #1 at this years draft for a lottery ticket next year.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Koekkoek looked good and gets points. When will yzerman/cooper give him a chance to succeed?

 

[HoseEmDown]

I'm shocked it took this long for him to have a game like this. He looked like that on a regular basis his first two years in Syracuse.

Well, the world won't blow up if we lose, but it's a game we have to win to avoid a losing streak and stay ahead of the pack.

That's also how he looked last playoffs in the Finals. Blowing coverage, bad reads led to forwards blowing by him, poor positioning.

That's more or less true. I can agree with that. It kind of seems like we aren't playing a lot lately and I think to a degree it'll be advantageous to us because teams will make up ground and we will control our own destiny. However I do worry about rest vs rust. I feel like this is a team that needs to compete often in order to keep its intensity up though.

Point was a beast. Malone line wasn't very good but they should be expected to have an off night once in a while.
