He does this all the time haha. ALL the time. He will be poorly covering his own man and then will start pointing like crazy to direct other people who to cover, like some general on the ice.

A guy on our regional water-polo team used to do it all the time... swim to the closest guy on the break when he should have gone to the other winger/driver and everyone shuffle over...

And in doing so ensure that the man further away who should be picking up the man he was now marking had to bust ass to get twice the distance he should have to be going.

And then if a goal was scored off it he would gesture towards you that it was your fault to absolve himself... when you just worked your arse off to try and cover his laziness/mistake.


He did it to me twice in one game once... he did not go home in dry clothes.

Didn't watch the whole thing but the final ten mins I wasn't impressed.

If we are gonna go cold for a period rather have it now than later.

On the bright inside, the game is over and I'll never have to watch it again.

Good lineup choices Hak, probably not the reason they lost but it certainly made the team worse.

Giroux was closer to the goal scorer. And he's a better skater than AMac.

Stolarz needs to be protected in the ED. If he gets taken I will cry.

I hate west coast road trips. Late, boring games and the worst is yet to come... Can't stand watching Anaheim play.

Ah well, no breaks for the Flyers again. Probably didn't play well enough to win, but could have used a break here or there.

Need to dig deep next week.

Tbf he was going to the trailer on the same side.

AMac was closer to Braun to begin with but instead skated to a man already covered.

Giroux should have realised sooner... but it would not have happened if AMac went straight there.

Its sad but the defense still has a long way to go. Its awful seeing Schultz, Manning, and AMAC in the same lineup. Then you have MDZ playing like crap. Its a recipe for a slump. People can talk crap about Streit all they want but he is sorely missed. Gudas needs to get in the lineup ASAP. I think he will come back and play strong and with an edge. MDZ needs to figure things out quick. His tenure here is beginning to fade away. There isn't much to be said about Schultz, Manning, and AMAC. They have to be replaced at some point. Hextall cannot be okay with this.

This is true, staying up late all for naught.

Most comparable to Konecny's notes tonight.

Thanks for teaching Konecny a lesson for his 2 assists coach. You really showed em!!

Bad coach that cant even his best players? Check

Bad coach that cant light a fire under the players he does dress? Check

Overusing TERRIBLE players like MacDonald? Check

This team is dead in the water unless Hextall intervenes

Taking a break from this **** until I go to the alumni game on the 14th.

I hope Vlasic is OK.

I choose to trust that the long-term benefits of sitting Konecny tonight will make themselves clear at some point in the future, because right now it seems like a ****ing cluster**** of a mind**** to do that when we need to pull out of a slump. But what do I know, eh?

Benching Lube is ****ing stupid, that's what I know. I don't care what he does or doesn't do in practice, he has shown in games what kind of ability he has and the effort he makes constantly is far beyond reproach.

As for the guys who actually did play, at some point they have to stop being jerked around if Mullethead wants them to develop any consistency or chemistry or any****ingthing at all. It's all well and good to be patient and wait for the prospects to develop, but how about letting the boys get used to their own lines and not be pinballed back and forth Hakstok, if that's even your real name.

Right after the goal I wanted someone to fight someone or hit someone very hard. Mason was standing on his head for them and clearly got hurt and stayed in and let in a goal that really wasn't his fault. I thought the best response to that would be, if they couldn't muster offense, to just engage physically right away to show their goalie a sign of life. When the period ended without a peep, I pretty much saw where this one was going.

No blue line help coming this year, I think.

This particular slump is about goal drought. :shakehead
