"Here you are," Lundqvist says as he hands him a backpack filled with gum wrappers"
Fixed it for you
I have nothing more to say about this game or this team.
Start the sell off.

Losing is the right thing to do if they're embracing the rebuild. But man this hockey is hard to watch.

Positives: Every team below us has at least one game in hand, and we have 17 road games left.
Feels like third worst record is possible.

Newsflash--it's not just the coach. That's a team not playing with any pride. AV should not be coaching this team next year but I ain't going to feel sorry to see a lot of these players go out the door with him.

Agreed. This is a joyless, painful process
Yes, it`s not looking good - I just watch the beginning of this game, but figure out early that we lack quality.

That is what a team quitting looks like. It gets thrown around loosely but that was a true dark ages game.
I don't see how AV is back next year.

It's clear that this team can't handle playing while knowing there's trade rumors out there. A stronger group might take that as a reason to play as best as they possibly can in an effort to ensure they don't get traded. Instead, our guys look like it's preseason out there making basic sloppy mistakes.
I can take losing if they play their best and with pride. I can't take apathetic garbage like tonight.

I love the euro football buzzwords you sprinkle in

This team is completely lost by their coach.
At this point I only hope that he's still employed just for the draft pick. If not, then Gorton needs to go too.

Emotionally, yes it did have that 'dark ages' feel to it, the feeling that any success or good things in a particular game are just fleeting, and that truth and reality will be asserting itself tout suite (pardon my French) ruthlessly and honestly. It did.

They gave up odd man rushes like a EASHL drop in team. Too bad neither of their goalies could disconnect and search for a better game.

I want him gone ASAP. The longer he sticks around the better chance he ruins players who will still be here going forward.

It's a lot easier to watch the games when you no longer care about winning lol.

Guys, this is it. Like I don't know how much worse you really think the dark ages were.
Our lowest finish back then was 12th in the conference. What is this team, 11th?

Yeahhhh games like this seem to be a sign that the coaches have lost the team.
Many a NHL coach have signed their walking papers by refusing to change their systems when things start going down in flames and AV is going to just be another in a long line...
Team can't play the system he wants. Very few can. Gotta play to your strengths and he's not doing that anymore.

I'd feel a lot better about all of this if we had a 2014 Cup in our rearview mirror. So I guess the dark ages at least had that 1994 cup relatively recently, at least when they first began.
Gotta say that losing Stepan and Girardi in the room has not helped McD. Those guys may have had their warts, but they were leaders that were never replaced.
No coincidence that when we went to the finals, we had MSL and Richards, and MSL the following year, where we were 1 period again from a finals appearance. We need veteran players with character that have won, to lead the way for the young guys that will make up the next core. I don't see many, if any leaders on this club presently, besides Hank of course

They're a frustrated team currently pretty decimated by injuries and that can't play the system the coach is insisting they play.
Blaming them for not "playing with pride" is kinda dumb. Not many players in any sport just go "yeah but I got PRIDE" and suddenly start kicking some ass when everything on the team is collapsing around them.
