I don't know what we need, but we need something. This is abysmal. Nill sitting on his hands on defense is proving to be a disaster.

Absolutely. But it's not even personnel, it's culture and attitude. Not enough killer instinct, too much confidence in their ability to score.

Gonchar is awful.
Am I alone in thinking that KConn is better than Gonchar, Oleksiak, and possibly Jordie? I'm nervous every time Gonchar and Oleksiak are on the ice the same way I used to get nervous every time Woywitka was on the ice.

I'm starting to get bummed out now... Its just sad... There isn't even anything during the games to get excited about... Just frustrating...
Our D core in my opinion
Goligoski wasnt terrible but wasnt very good either
Daley was solid and is easily our best Dman
Jordie was a complete mess worst Ive ever seen him
Dillon was ok was put in awkward spots by turnovers/Jordie
Gonchar/Oleksiak by far our best pairing tonight albeit playing very sheltered minutes
Our 1st line was garbage
2nd line a little less garbage
3rd line one of there better games of the season
4th line very solid had good zone time
If our best players arent our best players we cant beat top teams

Yes. KConn isn't the answer to any problem. He's not an NHL player, and playing him will not improve any facet of the team.

I can't name a skater who isn't struggling. This happens with young teams.
Did I blink every time Jordie made a mistake or something? He hasn't been great by any means but there are so many more players deserving of bashing.

This was winnable tonight but Quick held them in the game when it could had been 2,3-0 us early.. The big guys didn't click on the PP but somehow it was Nuke who played the brightest 5vs5...
The worst thing is the GWG was scored by annoying tosspot.. oh and the refs were a disgrace

Gonchar made a poor decision that led to the 3rd goal. Oleksiak had a pretty solid game.

Hemsky is trying to find out how he fits into a new team. He knows he's struggling so he's trying to get the puck off his stick as quickly as possible. When he's at his best his patience and stickhandling give his teammates space. I don't think Ruff is familiar enough with his game to get him pointed in the right direction. Maybe Hemsky just doesn't feel right so he's deferring to his teammates.
Cole has always been a player that skates too fast for his hands to keep up. A younger, sharper Cole was pretty effective. Now he's only useful in short bursts.
I think the 3rd goal was on Nuke for focusing on getting up ice instead of controlling the puck, I actually think Gonchar made a nice play under pressure and Nuke botched it

Any more than the rest of the defense though? You have to draw a distinction between a defender making a mistake, and an offense forcing one.

Nuke had a few good shifts, but he was terrible as the game went on
The Kings also could have scored five more. Kari had one of his better games against a lot of pressure in his own end.

Same old song and dance, almost as if Nieuwy never left. At least as far as the blueline is concerned. Too reliant on the new crop and an obviously ill-fated belief that they can make a solid impact as full time NHLers. It's very clearly not working, and hasn't for years. No idea why they keep trying to push a square peg through a round hole.

To be fair, even the "reported" deal to add a d-man was met with near universal outrage.Same old song and dance, almost as if Nieuwy never left. At least as far as the blueline is concerned.
