GDT: [#37] New York Islanders at Dallas Stars, 7:00 PM CST (FS-SW+)

[Magic Mittens]

I mean looking for someone who has any energy not sure Comeau is the ideal player for that though.

Really dislike Klingbergs unneccessary fancy plays . Just out of place sometimes.

Trying to make up for lost time

 

[Smelling Salt]

Comeau out here and in our top 6 cause we need a goal. Lol so this is where we are at now

I was watching Comeau in particular a few shifts earlier. I noticed whenever he has the puck he noticeably has head down looking at it. It's no wonder he's an offensive black hole.

 

[Kcb12345]

This team is just so bad

 

[serp]

Klingberg is awful at defending the empty net. Is he even trying ?

 

[Kcb12345]

Same shit and excuses every game. The only reason is our forwards are trash and can't score it's really not that hard to figure out.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Stop making excuses, Razor.

 

[The Tourist]

Seguin has become just a really talented grinder. It's crazy to say but I think his defensive game might be better than his offense. He hasn't shown once this season the type of player who can just take over a game offensively.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

The defense, team defense and goal tending has been fine.

So what is left then, hmm, maybe the offense sucks balls and we can't transition the puck to save our lives.

I'm sick of him trying to knock the puck off the boards with his stick too when it's coming around like that. NEVER works for him

 

[M88K]

Stop making excuses, Razor.

He's been doing it for a decade and a half now, don't think it is ever going to change

 

[SuperSaiyanSTARS]

Another one goal game. Sweet.

 

[Smelling Salt]

He blames the back to back but Daryl, how was this game any different than any other? It's not a back to back thing, it's a sucky suck thing.

 

[serp]

The back to back doesn't help but the lack of offense is not due to the back to back.

 

[Kcb12345]

How can they even use the "run out of gas" excuse? This team can't score no matter what. The effort defensively was fine and they seemed to have energy there. The problem is so obvious it's getting so hard to watch these games and listen to these same excuses. How can they just sit there and send out this same team every game while the same problems just keep happening?

 

[Blindsummit]

I think we are getting into a decision time for Nil, sorry Nill. Do we continue to be a sucky mid table team for ever, or do we make some bold moves including trading some beloved assets in order to build for the future. Because there is no "win now" in this squad. Or perhaps it's not Nill that needs to make a decision, but our esteemed owner.......

 

[Blindsummit]

I would also question whether or not the coaching is working, as with the drop off of performance on the ice of some of the players speaks to me of behind the scenes strife. They are just not playing for him, or not listening to him. Or perhaps they ARE listening to him and that's actually the problem. Because something does not seem right in the atmosphere around the team.

 

[Kalamazoo Wings]

It's a boring product plain and simple. I'm glad I don't watch many games. I always care about how the team is doing because it's second nature but come on give us something to get excited about. I hope there's a big change looming because **** has gotta change.

 

[Smelling Salt]

It's time for someone to get angry. There are options.

1. Players only meeting. Not sure Benn is that kind of guy but someone needs to explode. I picture Spezza being way more capable of that than Benn. I see Seguin as also capable.

2. Monty. Not sure it's his style. Not sure if he'll coach anywhere but Dallas. Just not sure about this guy at all.

3. Nill. LOL. He'd ask for everyone's autograph.

4. Gaglardi. He'd need to come down from his ivory tower in Vancouver. If he cared he'd already be planning Nill's exit.

 

[Kcb12345]

Monty was visibly not happy with the team and specifically the offensive side of things after tonight's game in his interview.

I hope he has a good talk with Nill about that cause he is clearly not happy with the lineup he has been given when it comes to offense. Tonight, possibly for the first time, he really showed it.

 

[LT]

This team is hard to cheer for sometimes.

 

[Kcb12345]

This team is hard to cheer for sometimes.

I only look forward to games now to watch Heiskanen play. Everything else just sucks about them. I feel so bad for Bishop and Khudobin

 

[The Tourist]

I'm sick of him trying to knock the puck off the boards with his stick too when it's coming around like that. NEVER works for him

My thoughts exactly. He fails to keep so many pucks in trying that. Why doesn't he just pin his body against the wall or use his skate/leg to keep it in?

This team is garbage offensively and needs two more top 6 caliber players.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Man some nights it just does not look like the team gives a shit. When we’re up by one other teams are pouring it on trying to even the game, for us we put on the same pathetic performance in the last ten minutes and let them score an empty netter. At this point I really don’t know what to say about this team. I know we just signed Seguin to an extension, but I just don’t see this team ever getting it done in the post season.

It's just such a lazy play from him and I wish the coaches would get onto him about it.

 

[Kcb12345]

Also John Klingberg is really pissing me off right now and I get his "timing" may not be all there and stuff but some of the plays he makes are just ridiculously dumb that even an AHLer wouldn't make. I guess we are so used to watching Heiskanen and his amazing and smart play that we forgot how dumb John can be sometimes. Not going to bother complaining about him though when this team has MUCH more serious issues to worry about with the forwards
