[Ail]

Nah we need Newark to win and put up some points before their lottery luck strikes again

I want them to lose a bunch so that Hall gets frustrated and is 100% gone then win just enough to miss the playoffs and secure a higher pick.

 

[CasusBelli]

That. Was. Awful.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

OK DQ.. Now let's just pretend it's on the players and bring back Staal.
****ing dope..

I thought we were winning because Z-bad was bringing us down

 

[bl02]

Why would the bar be set even medium?

You guys watch so much. This is where is get confused

Ok medium lol. I was just expecting more against a team that embarrassed us on home ice already. We weren't playing the 80's Oilers tonight

 

[BroadwayStorm]

Howden does more to hurt this team than any of the other rookies. He can't take faceoffs and plays the role of a defensive center that can't play defense and doesn't know how to use his size. He absolutely murders Kakko when they put them together. He is a black hole for offense. A lucky point blank goal doesnt change that.

Idk we won some games , and then they beat our ass, and then we won some games , and they beat our ass

It's like a perfect Sin wave

 

[Procrastinator]

Can we send Quinn to Hartford for a conditioning stint?

 

[JC704]

While I can accept the rebuild posts, in regard to the defense, I don't like using the "youth" excuse because I'd say Lindgren and Fox have consistently been this team's better defenders in the games I've seen the past few weeks. The culprits are always Trouba, Skjei, Deangelo, and to a lesser extent Hajek. Hajek I'm fine with taking his lumps. The other 3 need to be better.

Lindy Ruff is a terrible coach, but those three players aren't exactly high IQ players, either, which poses some interesting questions moving forward.

This was not on Howden

Of the defensive players you mentioned, only Trouba is here for the long run

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Team is doing a major disservice to Hajek forcing into a top pairing role

Kid is floundering big time

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

How many times are they going to have a good game and then come out and look like a JV team the next game?

I get that they’re young and it’s them learning but they need to learn how to bring their floor up. not every game is going to be great but you need to bring your floor up to at least average. It can’t be either good or looking like a bunch of middle
Schoolers. Can’t be bipolar like that.

Yeah.. That must be it.

Cancel Mystery, Alaska game

Everything's solved now lol

How is giving a player some top line minutes a disservice.

Look I know "ruining a player" is a convinient escape to use when expectations and results don't jive over time, but outside
of horrible injuries l, i've never witnessed a great player get ruined from playing on a bad team or getting hosed for a while

Ever...

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Yeah.. That must be it.

I don't think it was Z-bad hurting the team

 

[PuckLuck3043]

This team stunk tonight and they just aren't good on the road either.

 

[Irishguy42]

No Pageau goal.

So...baby steps, folks.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

People need to stop talking like Ottawa is an AHL team. They are not and have been very, very good lately.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

They haven't lost at home since mid October or earlier I believe.

 

[Fvital92]

Missed this one. Any bright spots?

they got a real good young coach up there.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Quinn is going to be traded at the deadline

 

[mike14]

Missed this one. Any bright spots?

Missing would have been the brightest spot

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Missing would have been the brightest spot

You have the benefit of living in the future in Australia

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Inconsistent rebuilding team. What a surprise.

So hilarious people don't understand this.

As I said *after they beat the Caps last game*: ups and downs, ups and downs. The fact that their ups are quality is what matters more than anything at this stage.
