I really have no idea what he was doing there. He didn't have a lot of options with the puck, but I'd rather a risky play backwards than just giving it away like that.

He probably assumed the forwards were changing and I'm not sure why they didn't.

OT consistently highlights our lack of talent and hockey IQ. That stupid shot by Sevs that resulted in a turnover and didn't allow any players to change led to the entire sequence that ended the game. If he just backs out of the zone the team gets a change and that nonsense never happens.

Kowalsky being gone should hopefully help our 3 on 3 game also.

It's a well-known fact that it's usually the coach that handles the power play and offense that runs the 3 on 3.

All a result of the useless garbage shot by Sevs.

I really have no idea what he was doing there. He didn't have a lot of options with the puck, but I'd rather a risky play backwards than just giving it away like that.

Severson is perhaps the most selfish player I've seen in my 30+ years of watching ice hockey. I'd bet you 10:1 odds he's not well-liked in the lockerroom (which was once alluded to by someone). He's well-versed in Corsi, I guarantee you that much.

3 on 3 is a damn circus and should be shot into the sun so I don’t get too worked up about it. That said, this team is impressively poor at it. Like at least give yourself a chance.

Having been there and done that it’s not the poop on tile that is a problem. It’s the puke on a rug. That stuff never comes out.

Worlds best alarm clock — the sound of your dog about to puke in the house ....
It can be 3:00 am and I am up in a nano second wide awake to rush the dog out .

There needed to be better awareness by Severson and / or someone telling him to pressure Kempe as there was no passing options for Kempe , while Severson played it almost like a 2on1 and let Kempe skate in with time to get a perfect shot off .

Bah the OT is whatever, what's pathetic is the LA f***ing Kings took it to us for 38 shots with Mac making some pretty tough stops and zero support.

As bad as Nico and Hughes may be lately I am seriously disappointed in Palms since rumors about moving him surfaced. He still looks lost and needs to pick it up. If he struggles all the way down the stretch I’d have a hard time offering him an extension before next season.

This is true but our roster is straight up dogshit right now. You have AHL fodder and some extremely green talent out there. I’m honestly not surprised that they’re getting worked, even by garbage teams.

Yes Palms is very streaky with his goal scoring .
Problem is that if he isn’t scoring he doesn’t do too much else .
Having said that , he is our only real true “sniper” shoot first winger we have .
Hoffman from the Panthers would be a very welcomed UFA signing in the off-season . 30g guy but not sure how the rest of his game is . That and his wife / GF is nucking futts

I don't know why sending Jack to play in Europe one year wasn't an option. He gets to play against better competition without the contact.

Im guessing Shero and Hynes trying to save their asses.

Praying for the draft lotto win again as Lafrenier would speed up the “re-tool” tremendously .
Forward group would be deadly , MB emerging as a very good goalie.
“Just” need Smith and another D prospect to take a step forward and hopefully snag a UFA D , a good backup goalie (Lehner ?) and next year looks promising .... little bit easier said than done
