f*** everything

18 shots.. Yikes

 

[DancingPanther]

Stewart: the little plays matter. He had no pressure on him in the NZ and instead of sending it to a D to get a change, he dumps it down and rescinds possession. The change happened, but so did a scoring chance on the ensuing rush

Myers: perhaps his most forgettable game

• Great play on the chip up the boards to cause a 2-1. Quick feet in tight space to get to the puck and good vision to see the developing numbers
• Bad play on the turnover. Very bad. Trying to force a puck through 3 Wild players will never work...AND it looked like he was going for a Gordonian flip clear. Stop it.
• Hesitated on a pinch, got caught, 2-1 the other way. Ghost with a great play to break it up. Phil is at his best when he just trusts himself, but this happens with any young player

JVR: yay! A goal. But could we not corral a puck within reach moving at 2 mph leading to the rush the Wild scored the first goal on? He was also halfassedly waving his stick at the wraparound, fly-by style. Weak.

Lindblom: <3

Farabee: one of the only bright spots of the game

• During a change, took on the entire Wild team at the offensive blue line. Made a nice inside out move and got a quick, hard shot off for a chance.
• Made incredibly strong plays behind the net with the puck to create his own space. One was against Suter.

Kase: Making centering passes after winning board battles, cancelling icings, getting to the slot for one timers. The 2nd of 3 bright spots along with Farabee and Hart.

Provorov: love watching him attack the offensive with speed. He is tremendous. However, his turnover was also bad.

I have been tact until now. This team has a job to do. When my grandmother died, I had to go back to work/school. Same with when Nolan died. If I did my job this poorly, regardless of extracurriculars, I’d be fired (or failed). This team was absolutely horrendous today, embarassingly bad. Defenseman making egregious mistakes across the board, Myers being the most guilty. Ghost punching guys. Stewart….lol. Voracek uncharacteristically weak on the boards today and losing battles. The team as a whole not winning 50/50s or generating...anything in the offensive zone. No less than 4 times was Hart left out to dry with odd man rushes down low, most times with no defense in sight. Not many players made noteworthy good plays today let alone played well.

The situation is unique, yes. But these guys need to figure it the f*** out, shorthanded or not, because what happened tonight is not even close to NHL quality hockey. I expect another stinker in Winnipeg, for obvious reasons, but perhaps a quick turnaround is exactly what this team needs. I can understand for now, in the short term, but it can't continue to happen. Sorry for not sugarcoating things, it's not what I do.

Not even bothering with football on tomorrow. Fully expect to be out of a playoff spot soon.

 

[AdamParrot]

I just can't blame them.
I would not be surprised if we not make playoffs after all.

If you play professional sport in any time in your life, you know what I'm talking about.

This season is not about results now. It's about Oskar, their brother, to be healthy.

+ these injuries and f***ing bad management...

 

[Magua]

We all know this was the worst game of the season. Don't look at the stats. But with all the horrible, uncontrollable things going on right now -- with a team battling the insurmountable -- I can't stomach hot takes right now. So, I'm going to be not negative; I hope others aren't. It's not worth it. Bigger stuff afoot.

Except for Michel Therrien. Can't wait until he's fired. I heard a falsified rumor he kicked a player sometime between the years 2000 and 2019.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

 

[tictactoe]

Claude had a real casual game..


screw you michel therrien... I hope you get fired around Christmas time.

 

[Legion of Gloom]

 

[orangecrush8]

We all feel like garbage about Oskar. How do you think the team feels?

They either go on a run or lose 6 in a row.

 

[Johnk0728]

I think we all deep down know that the flyer season is over to the events over the past week. no sense bitching about the lines the coaching etc the injuries have ended the season basically

 

[prototypical4thliner]

By my math we’re down 50% of our starting forwards...?


This is decidedly not good. Nor fun.

That seems a little dramatic. We're still in a playoff spot and TK should be back at some point.

 

[flyerslducks]

sloppy game. I think it was the wild's easiest game of the year really. They should've pounded us. Goes to show that we had a chance still and if it wasn't for two defensive turnovers, we actually could've had a chance. Wild were not great at all despite all that. I'll give the team a big pass for the injuries. Intersting to see what we do tomorrow...now we will have 3 ahl players (kase and whoever they call up) and one who doesn't even belong in North America (stewart)

It’s bad and we don’t want it.

I have a feeling we’re gonna make it.

 

[flyersjim73]

Presidents Cup seems to be going well...

 

[Adam Warlock]

Road trip/week from hell. They just need to get back home and regroup...hopefully with TK.

 

[flyerslducks]

gotta feel for the team though. Oskar situation and then they lose two guys again...

[Here4ThaLids]

It was a terrible idea to travel to Colorado with only 18 healthy skaters and a spasmodic Myers. It left no room for error [edit: uh, injury]. Unforgivable GM sins.

Now we reap the whirlwind.

 

[sigma six]

f*** this. At least there's new episodes of the Expanse to watch.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I have a feeling we’re gonna make it.

Maybe who knows. We’re firmly on the bubble & have had some really bad injuries as of late. We don’t really have the margin to withstand these things but we’ll see.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

expected a better game, they are good at looking like they tried hard but with no idea how to play.
