Holtby terrible, as usual in the beginning of the year. This is just flat out embarassing. It looks like nobody on our team wants the puck or wants to score, and even playing that way they could've had 2/3 goals. Imagine if they actually played with a single ounce of passion.

Truthfully, GMGM has compiled a collection of players so random that veterans are having to learn new positions and rookies are carrying key minutes they can't handle. It's really a mess and this is what it looks like on ice.

Can't wait for the 30-40 game "getting used to Oates' system" time to be done with.

Caps goalies just don't seem to make the big saves any more. 38/58 is still a crap D pairing. Please Ted, realiZe this fool can't take a talented roster to the next level and shape them into a deep running playoff team.

Our blue line is back to soft as butter. Coffee and Donuts served. Green spacing it seems. Alzner too. Hillen out. Has a dman hit with force yet this year?

Urbom is our only hope. SteveO should help. Orlov may be an uncaged animal if he gets another chance this year #doubtfultag

Watching it again you're right. When I first saw it it didn't really look like he was screened much.

90-19-8
10-84-20

16/24-83-43

27-52

4/Urbom-36

Make it happen.
I would really like to see Fehr and Erat in the top 2 LW spots.

This is frustrating. Oates has obviously forgotten more about hockey than I will probably ever know, but for the life of me I don't get:

- Erat on the 4th line
- Carrick not being sent down after the Chicago game, especially since he can play in Hershey.
- Trying Fehr at center when running Backstrom - Grabo - Laich - Beagle/Latta down the middle seems obvious to me :dunno:.

Don't worry....Ted looked around and saw a bunch of tickets sold. That's a victory in his eyes.

Laich is actually a pretty useful player. Just not in a scoring role. Have him center Chimera and Ward and all of a sudden you have a line that can cycle and play some actual defense.

Yep but he is slow as molasses right now and can not distribute or do anything with the puck. Terrible on the 2nd line.

Great management by GMGM trading for Erat who is on the 4th line making 4.5 million and Carrick getting abused.
