Post-Game Talk: Don't Drink and Drai

[Cloned]

Drai has had a poor 2 weeks - culminating with this game, which was the worst I've seen him play in a longggggg time. Passes to nowhere, not skating, losing the puck, floating on defense, ugh.

This team is infuriating at times.

 

[booyakasha]

Awesome title.

 

[Byron Bitz]

That OT was really frustrating

 

[BlackDogg]

Can't win in OT anymore

That OT was the worst I've ever seen them in and it was short

 

[XXIV97]

We are still first

 

[Nunymare]

This team is f***ing pissing me off.

 

[Porkleaker]

1 point but still pitiful

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Not a playoff team. I don't care about our place in the standings right now, we've played like shit for a month now and everyone's catching up.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Just start tanking.

They're tired of winning early in the season.

There's no gas left.

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Top players were awful

 

[Metamind]

Drai didn’t make one good pass all game

 

[booyakasha]

Drai needs his ice time cut.
Like a lot

 

[oobga]

lol, love that save attempt by Smith. That was some Matrix stuff right there. Dodges the puck making it go under him.

 

[Ninety7]

Drai sucked ass

 

[McFlyingV]

Draisaitl has not had a poor 2 weeks, he had a poor night. Smith's lateral movement is atrocious. The only option there was a pass and he still can't push across his crease in anything even remotely resembling a butterfly. Lost that game entirely on goaltending. Their goalie was much better and much luckier.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Well that wasn't surprising. Drai looked like dog shit in that OT and they were playing really loose defense 3 on 3.

 

[Shathar]

I could have scored with that coverage. with my rubber boots on.

 

[McSendy]

When your two best players are your two worst players, you don't win very often.

 

[frag2]

Top line let the team down
Kass trying to be fancy
mcD not selfish enough

But oh god Drai...wtf???

Also, smith...maybe he hurt himself with that OT save attempt. Can't deal with him and his unnecessarily excessive movements on what should be the most pedestrian save

 

[GodPucker]

Either Holland is going to let this team slowly sink or hopefully grab some help and not waste a great year by McDrai.

I would have split those guys up tonight. Drai looked like he was hungover and on something. Just terribad

 

[CupofOil]

I don't remember the last time McDavid and Draisaitl had a good game and it's not really their fault. The coach is playing them into the ground, same with Klefbom who has been poor the last few weeks.

Draisaitl in particular is not built to play this many minutes. I think a game off would do him some good to recharge the batteries because he's sinking out there, sinking like a big German stone.

 

[snipes]

Nygard, Nurse, Bear, Sheahan stood out as being good tonight. Actually most of the bottom of the lineup guys were good.

McDrai had a pedestrian game and really poor overtime.

Picked up a point. Onto the next.

 

[ujju2]

I have McDavid, Drai, Nuge, Bear, and Neal on my fantasy team. I just lost my matchup by 3 points because none of them could score a goal tonight (goal = 3 points).

 

[CycloneSweep]

Can't win in OT anymore

That OT was the worst I've ever seen them in and it was short

The book is out on them. Gain possession, just skate in circles to frustrate McDrai, when they fall into apathy, score.
