how is it possible to have 35 shots in 45 minutes (which means we have 34 in last 33 if my math is right) and seemingly no grade a scoring chances?

Also, lol @ ESPN's highlight video that's titled "Kapanen scores vs Sharks" and he isn't even on the ice

From the jump they werent skating or doing any of the little things they had been doing. They werent prepared for this game, lacked energy and didnt respect SJ. Doesnt matter how bad a team is they can still beat anyone any given night if things go their way.

Hopefully they learn from this and dont let it become a trend. I dont think they will. On to the next one.

Wondering why Hofer got this start considering the back-to-back games this weekend as well.. Not that this game was his fault.

forgot about it, looks like the team did too. i was worried they were going to get cocky after their last 2 wins.

Nobody should ever be worried about that in the first place. Do what’s right for the team, who cares what a dumb fan wants.
A huge chunk of "what's good for the team" is getting people to come and spend money. Ticket sales are very much down this year and tickets are going unsold on the secondary market more than previous years. Putting out your very best product on home ice is a very real concern when the team isn't good/popular enough to consistently sell out the building. There is good reason that Binner plays damn near every (if not every) Saturday home game.

This fan base is so bipolar lol. Win a couple "omg, we underestimated the team, we are a contender!!!!!". Lose one, "omg we suck so bad, bottom 5 pick here we come". Y'all better get your meds in check. We are in for a roller coaster of a season.

That's how the team is built. We are a middling team. If we execute perfectly we can play with the best on an off night for them. If we play lax, we can lose to a bad team. But we aren't going to do either consistently.

Thus the yo-yo effect on the 'Trade' thread lol

I completely agree with this. We don't have the talent up and down the lineup to be good every night. if our top 2 lines are having scoring problems the bottom lines won't be able to provide at a regular basis. We are gonna end up around 85-90 points. I will not be surprised if we end the year at or right around NHL .500.
