We should do the holtbeast edition this time.

 

[Jackstrom19]

4-1 Caps. Holtby stands on his head. Our only goal against is off Carlson's skate. Ovix2, Kuz and Mojo net our goals

 

[tycoonheart]

Some consistent play please, for the love of God.

Whoever is in net needs to show the F up tonight. Someone ATTEMPT to grab the starter spot.

Ovi needs a strong showing. No more whiffing shots. No more turnovers. You're the captain, lead by example.

Trotz stick with your lines for one full game please.

 

[txpd]

Calgary is held to 4 shots on goal. Caps win 3-2 in a shootout.

This will not please RH!!! In my experience line shuffling doesn't accomplish much. As long as you don't have 4th liners playing on the 1st line and have the best players in the lineup it matters not.

Holtby is our starter and there is no question of that. He has to play better.

Ovie looked much improved last couple games. But yes...no more turnovers please.

Adam Vingan @AdamVingan

Your apparent top six this morning: 8-19-43, 90-92-20.

 

[txpd]

that doesn't mean a lot til what is up with 65 is seen. is he playing and been demoted or is 92 replacing him because he is injured?

 

[Capitlols]

Yeah is Bura hurt?

 

[The Deadly Pook Gas]

The bottom six hasn't done any line rushes yet so I guess we're waiting on that for now.

 

[txpd]

my feeling is that bura was hurt v phoenix and that after some rest it has gotten worse and he is out

 

[tycoonheart]

Adam Vingan @AdamVingan

Your apparent top six this morning: 8-19-43, 90-92-20.

Interesting. Bura still hurt or Kuz being promoted for playing well?

 

[Hivemind]

Hey guys, not sure if anyone has asked yet, but is Bura hurt?

 

[strungout]

Alex Prewitt @alex_prewitt

Bottom six in rushes: 25-65-42, choose three from 16-87-46-83.


Guess hes ok

Crisis averted

 

[The Deadly Pook Gas]

Crisis averted

Or I could have jinxed him.

 

[tycoonheart]

Kuz has looked strong on the puck the last 2-3 games. He's been carrying the puck really well. I can see why Tortz wants him on that 2nd line. Dude also had some really nice chances to score last game.

 

[strungout]

This line up makes sense. Leave them all together for a full game or 3 dammit.

 

[tycoonheart]

Trotz said his plan all along was to stick Wilson with Ovi and Nicky. Because Wilson ended up getting hurt, he tried other people.

I'm betting we see that line stick for a while.

Can't say the same for rest of the lines tho.

 

[txpd]

well...16 is back on the 4th line/scratch option sheet.

 

[ChibiPooky]

Kuznetsov's adjustment to NA seems to have taken the next step. Burakovsky maybe needs a bit of easier minutes to get back in his groove. Chimera and Ward back together. Let's see if they can pull out a win.

I'm actually sort of hoping they play well and lose. They need to see that they can't just have a meeting and fix everything. It's actually going to take time and a lot of work (and discipline) and I'm not sure this group of players gets that.

No Coke is just the tip of the iceberg.

 

[txpd]

This line up makes sense. Leave them all together for a full game or 3 dammit.

you cant have accountability and consistency at the same time. you cant bench or demote someone for not sticking with the program AND keep the lineup the same.

which do we want?

 

[ChibiPooky]

Consistency will come later in the season once the culture of accountability is firmly established IMO. Right now Trotz is still trying to get the players to understand that when they make bad plays it's bad.
