Cooper was spot on in that quote. Vasy hasn't looked great, team has been sloppy and lazy and taking lots of penalties.
I'd kind of like them to play Domingue B2B and give him OTT and MTL to get Vasy a break.
The only thing I hope for out of this game is Kuch getting some stat padding and the team staying healthy.
Not sure I agree with this. Our boys all just had some rest and we saw the result of that in the Caps game. We need to play everyone and get in a groove going into the playoffs.We haven't been sharp at all lately. Might as well rest some guys and flip the switch next week. That Caps game was embarrassing.

Obviously we still try to win.. and break the record for all time wins in a season...still within our grasp. However, I mainly was speaking to your post about us not being sharp and you are correct. We have not been sharp and, in my opinion, resting our boys more than the break they just got is not going to make us any more sharp. We need everyone to play and play well. Get into a groove. Get sharp. I just don't think sitting anyone is going to make us better for the playoffs. I think, maybe, a lot of President's Trophy winners of the past made the mistake of "resting" players leading in to the playoffs and it might be why so many of the PT winners fail to win the cup. Not preparing properly for the playoff run. Too much rest seems to affect our boys a lot more negatively than possible fatigue.But they have nothing to play for...they are just going through the motions. Why risk injury if they aren;t going to try to win?

Kucherov with a 95 point night, incoming..I want Kucherov to pass the record tonight.
Gretzkys record.
1st bold agree, 2nd bold disagree.We haven't been sharp at all lately. Might as well rest some guys and flip the switch next week. That Caps game was embarrassing.
Does Cernak have a concussion?
I'm not a big excuse guy...long lay off...nothing to play for...we will agree to disagree. You don't get to pick portions of a game and say well, from here on out we played well. It's a whole game and the whole thing counts. It was an embarrassment especially for who it was and after that 58 shot game. Vasy did not stand on his head again and they put up a TD at our house...last game of the year...fan appreciation night.
