GDT: [#48] Los Angeles Kings at Dallas Stars, 7:30 PM CST (FS-SW)

[MrHeiskanen]

Low effort, low speed, low everything.

Another game with hardly any shots.. only 11 through two.

 

[Henderson33]

Something is seriously wrong behind the scenes. These players just don't want to do it for Monty or for the organization at all.

Don't really blame them tbh, management went into the off-season knowing exactly what they needed, and they came out of it with Val, Polak & Comeau.

Management didn't even give them a chance to succeed. They're at the cap with a first line and 3 fourth lines (maybe a third line)

DownGoesComeau

We gon die

 

[Blindsummit]

This team is broken. Hell the whole org is broken. Can't draft, can't develop, can't get any semblance of a system and can't play. Nill needs to be sacked and then it needs to get blown up. This team will not win squat.

 

[Kcb12345]

When was the last time we had a clean breakaway goal? Or breakaway at all outside of Comeau? Does anyone remember?

Nope, I'm stumped.

 

[badboy1994]

Very deep and impressive team.

Can’t wait to get brasard to center gogliano for our second lone. That will surly fix things !

 

[Satan]

Polak has the highest Corsi % for the Stars tonight

[Blindsummit]

They worst thing is, the worst crime, is we are boring, just dull, predictable and boring. No fun, no excitement. Its been driven out of us.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

If we keep adding assets and trading prospects and picks that will be so f***ing funny.

 

[Kcb12345]

Nope, I'm stumped.

Last one I remember was Spezza with the breakaway goal against the Capitals. I know Janmark has had some half breakaways but I'm not counting those

Exactly why would you play with enthusiasm if you've lived this shitshow for close to a decade (Benn) or half-a-decade (Seguin)? Like one posted pointed out: They went in fully aware of what to achieve and they did all that gymnastics for Tavares and Karlsson and didn't even focus their efforts on something better than Comeau and Nichushkin. The delusion/arrogance of this GM to think what he had was sufficient. Thanks to him, this team is set back another 5 years.

 

[Blindsummit]

The funny thing is, we will probably remain in third, and Jim Nil will say, what's the problem, we are still in the playoffs......

It's not like Nill et al. have done a good job of drafting since 2013- there's not much to be lost.

 

[Ogi1Kenobi]

I think the Stars compete window might have closed last season. Jack Campbell must be so happy to be out of here.

 

[Blindsummit]

I think you are right, we have thrown away five years. If we now blow it up under a competent GM, there's another three to five years before we get any decent return. So almost a decade of crap.

He's going to keep saying the same shit because he has a contract in place until 2023.

Benn will be 33

Seguin will be 30

 

[M88K]

Ya know i don't remember the team playing this poorly for Hitchcock. and i don't mean not scoring. I just mean completely 100% uninterested in playing at all

2009-2013: Ownership issues
2013-2019: Wasted potential

A decade I want to forget.

All things considered, I think 2013 to 2015 was fun. Management took Seguin and Benn's prime for granted.

Nill is getting fired at this rate. Jim Lites might be sad about it but the team he built is horseshit.

 

[hairylikebear]

Getting shut out by Jack Campbell would have to be one of the franchise's lowest points.

A decade of pestilence.

I don't know if I can see any way Nil survives. I guess he may try to sacrifice Monty to save his skin, but this is almost all on him. Well, at least his bosses won't accept any blame, so it's got to be Nil.

That piece of shit should fire himself. He oversees hockey ops. This is also on him.

Pretty much everyone in the FO needs to go: Les Jackson, and all those dead weights whom have festered for over a decade/s in the organization and likely preventing the infusion of fresh blood and ideas.
