This was definitely Blackwood’s worst game in quite a while. Goals 1-3 were all not good ones. He really shouldn’t have been screened one goal 1 and goal 3 he had leak through him. Goal 2 wasn’t that bad, but too much short side.
At least its guys like Malkin taking the shots and not another of those ‘NHL first’ Cory specialties

To sum up this one:
- Some weak goals let in by both goalies
-NJ had some glorious opportunities to tie it up (Hughes breakaway, 5v3 fail, PP fail after 5v3), some others before the 5v3
-Bad defensive zone passing. Sevs missed horribly on a play in the 3rd, Carrick had at least 2 fails (one leading to the bad pass to wood)
-Missing that ability to finish when you need to....

The home streak is done.........

I really should be questioning my life choices risking getting the coronavirus to watch this dog shit team. What an absolute waste of time.
Was Prudential really serving Coronas?!

Good God I know the teams bad but I didnt realize its starting to rub off in the arena

Not even a shot on goal for Kuokkanen. You finally get your big call up and you literally chain him to a guy with 4 points in over 40 games.

This franchise seems to be great at poorly developing prospects.
I was told this was okay because if he played well it wouldn’t matter

God this coaching staff sucks. Nas failing upwards because of Vezina level goaltending sucks.

Sticking Kuokkanen on the 4th?

Hughes STILL(?!) on the wing?

It’s a joke.

I only saw the last half of the game but Pittsburgh did look just a hair quicker than we did as to everything.

Why were Mueller snd Subban not together as a pair in the third when Carrick made that back hand pass that Malkin turned over Wood on for the 4th goal? Were Subban and Carrick paired regularly?

On the 5 on 3 - pure hindsight here - we might have done better to have the Zacha - Bratt - Goose line out as a unit with Palms on one point and maybe even a 5th forward (Nico?) on the other point, or swap Nico and Zacha. Anyway that personnel.

What line was Kuokkanen supposed to play on?

People are overreacting, he’s still an AHL player and this is his first time with the team. Like everyone, I’d love it if he played a bigger role and lit it up but people are complaining about every move and apparently a lot of posters are armchair player development experts. Maybe they didn’t want to give him more than he can handle or let him get steamrolled. He’s a prospect we got in a trade two weeks ago, maybe people should slow their roll.

Losses like this are hard to watch, but at the same time we all hope to draft in the top5 or so. I'd just want to see some positive things and player development as well, but I don't know if there was any. I guess Nico looks like he's getting back on track, and Zacha (and the whole euro-line) still looks good. But other than that, a rough night for the rest; Blackwood, the whole defence, Hughes, the 4th line especially. Kuokkanen was pretty invisible, which I guess is expected with the ice time he had.

Hey, a bit of a weird question for you guys, but I was watching the game and there was one particular song during a break in play which really caught my ear. I could not find it with any music finding applications nor could you make out lyrics, I only have the melody with commentators talking over it. I was wondering if anyone knows about some sort of directory where I can find all the songs they play in the arena, or any other way of finding the particular song that was played?

They seem to play the same songs every game there. Or mostly the same ones.

Do you have the clip at all?

I can sadly confirm this is true, the arena’s permanent playlist is neither long or particularly good. I get legitimately jealous when I hear much better songs being played in other arenas while watching away games.

DJ Zubie could've had HIS playlist pumping out of the Rock's loudspeakers. :confused:

The only good thing about this loss is the draft situation. That's it.

No development happened for ANYONE tonight.

If anything, it proved that Nas isn't the coach for this team.

Janne was fine, the one time he got the puck he showed good poise and protected the puck. It’s not his fault Rooney and Hayden don’t do anything. These should be the lines so we can judge talent. Rotate Wood with Kuokkanen when needed.

Wood Hischier Palmieri
Bratt Zacha Gusev
Kuokkanen HUGHES Zajac
Rooney McLeod Anderson

If they didn't want him to get steamrolled, maybe don't put him with two guys who get steamrolled every night?
