Lol what draft pick? This team mortgaged the future to win now. Anything short of a cup the next few years is a failure.
Well we did have a Vezina winner and he is looking fantastic these days but we thought trading him was a good idea.
It doesnt matter who we draft or who we have. This team went far on momentum, but clearly DeBore cannot inspire them, nor demand fundamentals like passing. Hague is the Icing King and gets praised after every game. He was especially awful tonight. Lehner has lost as soon as he has to move.
Yeah Lehner could have at least saved one or two goals, but that defense was brutal. Shea Theodore's face after realizing the game was essentially over after looking like vintage rookie season brutal defense Shea Theodore said it all. It was entertaining to watch 5v5 hockey with the odd man rushes up and down for both teams all game long that resembled more like the excitement of 3v3 OT hockey.
Losing face offs lead to a couple of goals too as the ducks ran great plays off faceoff wins and I swear the ducks looked surprised that their set plays worked so well.
I hope Stone doesn't have Martin Riggs shoulder that pops out all the time.
Every game I swear there's a new player that I've never heard of before.
A season like this was bound to happen sooner or later and we haven't traded 10 mil off this roster.
Have we lost every game against a team playing on the 2nd game of back to back games with their backup goalie this season. It sure feels like it.
DeBoer seems to like big slow players who forecheck and crash the net. Same for defensemen, Theo doesn't fit that mold. I like speed, and I don't particularly like DeBoer's style, but you just can't argue with his record.
I'm not sure this isn't a lost year, but all hope is not gone - I doubt we make first place, but if we make the playoffs even as a wild card, anything is possible in the NHL, depending on what they do cap wise when Eichel gets back.
I was warming a bit towards Lehner, but he seems to be regressing again.
But, jeez, I hope we resign Smith, hate to see him next year as a cap casualty, he's been tremendous, but I'm sure he'll need to take a hometown discount to stay.
So can we switch back to whatever system they were using defensively previously? We're a quarter of the way in and it's obvious whatever changes they made are not working.
I feel bad for Rjondberg, Cotter and Lyscheshznsnznsnsnz. All come up and play great and have to watch worthless guys like Kolesar and Amadio play over them when players return from injury. I think you can count on one hand the number of passes in the offensive zone Kolesar has completed to someone wearing the same jersey he is. He must have incriminating photos on the coaching staff and management the way they treat him.
I argue that DeBore's record is fool's gold, taking over teams with very competitive rosters and then riding them till they buck him off.
Kolesar is really, really good at fishing the puck out of our goal after the other team scores, because he's always a few steps behind the play.So can we switch back to whatever system they were using defensively previously?
