I also agree with this. I don't know if he's hurt or what, but he's playing about a half-step behind and it really shows. Reimer kept us in it, and that goal was some fluky nonsense and absolutely isn't on him.

Spacegoat: yeah I guess Larkin

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Spacegoat is Ras.

Wide open ocean in the third to tie the game and he didn't bury it.

I was very close to naming him spacegoat for that alone. Then there's being downie soft on the puck.

Ultimately I went with Larkin because as the top line center he got worked in the faceoff dot and had 1 shot on goal. As the top line center the bar is higher for him. But I can't argue with Ras either.

I thought the 4th line was our best line.

The puck was like a grenade for everyone. Lots of bobbling passes and pucks in feet and general mayhem trying to settle the puck down.

But credit where it's due: the Panthers were all over us like stink on poop all night long. No space to breathe and forced us into poor decisions.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

We lost a game that Veleno piped one on a wide open net too. That s*** has got to stop.

Next one to do it should get a healthy scratch.

SG: Larkin. Can look totally dominant some nights, other nights you’ll barely notice him. Weird.

 

[WF19]

Veleno has been a pleasant surprise this year. Outplaying Ras by a mile imo. The team had some chances but Bob is a wall against us.

I think he has been our second best center

Veleno looked good again and should get a chance on the PP.

Too many scapegoats
-Rasmussen...like wtf man...do something
-Cat...time to wake up from your cat nap
-Larkin. He was so good early on, not sure what happened, but he was invisible.
-the entire first PP Unit. That was ugly..and it's been ugly for a while now, but because they were on fire early on, percentage wise it seems like it's going well, but it isn't.
-Perron. He is floating out there. His footspeed is not fast enough for the pace of the game.
-the 4th line. While they play with energy, would be nice for any of our 4th liners to score 1 goal. Zeroes across the bard for them.
-Andrew Copp. This guy is horrible. Easily in the conversation for worst contract in the NHL
-coaching staff. I don't know how or why, but the team has been coming out flat to start every game. If it wasnt for that miraculous comeback last game, we'd be talking about a 5 game losing streak and counting.

That was Ras unless your talking about a different one

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Yeah, about three posts before this I named Ras the spacegoat for his miss. I am also including Joey's bad miss in front of a wide open net against Seattle. Both are an example of really bad misses.

Simply put, we can't have our second and third liners wasting golden opportunities, especially when the top line struggles, which right now, they are.

HM: Gostisbehere is solid every game. Some nights he's the only defenseman that can actually pass.

Goat: Rasmussen. Or as I call Klim Kostin but with loftier expectations.

 

[The Flying Octopus]

Uncle Fester needs to change lines up, get these wannabes playing like they did for the first 5-6 games.

It’s noticeable that something has changed.

 

[Frk It]

Had a hard time focusing on this game while watching it, was switching over to TNF a decent amount. Seems like we had a decent amount of power plays, but weren't doing much of anything with them,

Why can't we score goals? I have no a clue, to be honest. I think we need more play drivers and puck possession drivers.

Analyics would tell you that Perron, Rasmussen, Compher, Copp, are not doing much from a puck posession standpoint, and that probably checks out.

I think it definitely would be worth it to reach out to Patrick Kane at this point.

1 - DeBrincat
2 - Veleno
3 - No One

This was like the Boston game, with us playing only slightly better. Crappy game from both teams.
