f*** this shit

With this defense and this poor offense, the game is iper over...

 

[These Are The Days]

Oh God... here it comes

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Why is Cirelli even on the 1st line? Why are we rewarding that bum with more ice time?

They are desperately trying to break him out of his goal slump

 

[copperlion]

Hintz is a damn good player

 

[PRZ45MD]

Alright, seen enough. Stay healthy, try not to embarrass yourselves tomorrow vs. a healthier and well-rested Panthers team tomorrow.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Just want to say, we have only 2 Defenseman that haven't be on the ice for a goal against... Serge and Rutta.

f*** this shit

Just got up and about to check the score.. click on the forum and see this post

[TheDaysOf 04]

This very well could be McElhinney's last game. With the Bolts or even in the NHL.

 

[Fabiobest]

Just a bad game...

God frustrating watching thus team

That would be a great main board thread "Try and score a goal with Jan Rutta on the ice"

 

[Todd1a]

We better wake up vs Florida in the playoffs

 

[HoseEmDown]

You're right, let's put ABB back on it. hehe.

Did I say that? There's other players that are playing better than Cirelli that should get that spot. He should be on the 4th line by now or in the press box if Cooper had balls.

 

[Antiramie]

Our D has fallen off a cliff.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

The defense has been absolutely horrendous, starting with Hedman himself.

Pretty much. Terrible performance, no urgency, no defense, passing into skates and no finish.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Too bad this is the performance the team bids farewell to him with.

 

[Point21]

Not even our savior Rutta can help us now

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

5-0 W
2-0 W
4-3 SO W
2-1 W
4-3 L
3-0 W
6-2 W

We've got 6 wins in 7 games and have shut Dallas out in 3 of them. With 3 days left on the season, and our past success against Dallas, I really just think we're looking ahead to this weekend and beyond.

He has a ring, so I don't feel too bad for him.

Yeah, let's crush his confidence even more just before the playoffs. We won't need him then.

And it's honestly a good idea. These games mean nothing in the scheme of things so getting people some confidence heading into the playoffs is a good strategy. The other thing would be to actually work on structure, but this is a trap game for the Bolts. Florida is tomorrow and the players know this and this game doesn't mean jack for playoff implications really.

He can be our shutdown center again - even with a crushed confidence.
