GDT: CBJ@Vegas, 10:30PM EST

[CBJWerenski8]

Tarasov is the only reason this isn’t a route

 

[MoeBartoli]

18-1 SOG advantage for Vegas this period.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

What are you wearing? They're showing some CBJ fans between whistles.

My Laine jersey. Sitting right next to an aisle high up second row. Haven't seen other Laine ones, not that many overall. Vegas seems pretty excited about their team, a lot of merch around.

 

[CBJ goalie]

WOW
Olivier dropping truth bombs in his 2nd intermission interview.
Dude did not hold back - basically called the team out for playing like shit.
Good on him.

 

[squashmaple]

Olivier with a brutal, honest interview between periods with Metz. Visibly angry, remarkably candid. Good.

I am proud of my boy there. He's right in everything he said.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

At this point you’ve seen enough out of these guys. I personally think Meyer has been fine, but I would send TFW and Pyytia back and get two other guys up here to give them a look. Maybe Malatesta and LDBB/Angle instead

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

We're leading hits 32 to 14. That's good if nothing else.

 

[CBJ goalie]

Holy damn, they're really gonna give up 100 shots over 2: games, aren't they??

Good to see someone try to lead this team

Hits mean you don’t have the puck.

NGL, I didn’t watch the game. But seems like Tarasov had decent stats.

Easy to be excited when you're born on third base and win a Cup (with another Finals trip) in the first five years.

 

[EDM]

I am surprised this thread got to 2 pages.

 

[EDM]

Maybe the strategy is to improve our odds for the First Pick.

How dysfunctional is this team when a guy scratched for most of the season is the one trying to lead? Be careful though. If you tell the truth too much the rest of the locker room might not like you.

It is way too late in the season to play this tired on the 2nd night of a back to back.

There's a huge difference in we stunk or everyone needs to play better, myself included versus I thought I played okay after the team gets pasted on the scoreboard.

If he could just shorten the bench a bit more and squeeze himself out the team might prosper...

Good move my Vincent to keep the top line out there as much as possible. They were able to generate 2 shot attempts for while holding Vegas to only 26 shot attempts against. Nice!

 

[NotWendell]

"I don't know what the hell we're doing out there." Love the candor!

TFW is not an NHL player, he tries, but that's it all. I agree, could call Matatesta a chance instead, I'm not saying he's an NHL player, but it will help him understand what he needs to improve in the summer training. About Pyyhtia...., I honestly don't know. But if we sent him down, I'd call Butler instead. Since Pascal forcibly doesn't want to make the Voronkov - Sillinger - Marchenko line because the Texier - Sillinger - Marchenko scored so many goals I suggested the lines:

Malatesta - Voronkov - Meyer
Butler - Gaunce - Olivier

Let's at least have some fun.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I know we have like 20 injuries and a ton of non NHLers up here right now but it is quite sombering to see how far we are away from being an elite team. I know Colorado and Vegas are the crème of the crop but we looked like we were on two different planets as far as skill and teamwork. Really sucks

It really doesn't even feel like we're making progress toward that goal.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Trying not to make too much out of back to back games on the road against teams set up to put maximum pressure on your defense, but our squad looks tired. Not physically tired (maybe that too) but “done” with the season, mentally exhausted.

 

[EDM]

DSL, I think you hit the nail on the head. A significant number of players have already checked out and are thinking about their golf scores.

And those players need to disappear. If you can't count on them when the team is down, how are you so sure you can count on them when the team is up?

The loser mentality must get erased from the roster. Whoever the next GM is going to be should be studying the game tape now to see the real character of some players. It's easy to to act happy when things are going good but how they act on a regular basis when things are shitty is the true judge of these players.
