Worst shootout attempts in history?

Legwanded. SMH

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Bah, we lose the coin flip this time.

7 out of 10 points on the homestand I will take though.

 

[TootooTrain]

First 2 shots aren't actually shots on goal. Typical.

Forsberg's move was pretty good actually, just didn't finish.

 

[Marty Party]

So glad I didn't go to this game. Would have pissed me off giving up that stupid goal at the end of the first.

Trotz with Cullen as the third choice?

At least we got a point out of this mess.

 

[INDhockeyfan]

Shootout failure again. Weren't even close. We still got a point though.

 

[triggrman]

Oh, well. Again we lose the skill competition.

Overall and excellent game in the defensive end. We created some chances but failed to finish. Hendricks, Bartley, Weber and Bourque all with incredible chances down the high slot and put them all into Quick's chest, Forsberg rips one just wide.

I will say though, LA usually physically dominates us, not tonight, we controlled the pace of the game and smoked them in puck possession.

 

[utkpred]

Surely Hendricks was up next, but why not go to him earlier?

 

[PredsV82]

If you would have told me before the game that we could have one point id have probably taken it but dammit we should have had two... gotta score 4 on 3...

Take this after every loss http://psychcentral.com/depquiz.htm

our PP has been dependent on weber's shot for years now. that PP was just bad.

Teams started taking away the Shea bomb on the PP about two seasons ago. The only player movement we had were defenders shifting positions ... no using movement to create passing and shooting lanes. It was a bad PP in every aspect besides face offs. Bad player management, movement, aggressiveness. It looks like we haven't even practiced a 4 on 3 PP.

Still we leave the building with a point after playing some pretty good hockey. It looks like the team is finally starting to gel. The usual defensive lapse, this time leaving Voynov alone, killed us. At least the defensive lapses are fewer than during the first couple games.

Good team that plays a tight defensive game and has a real solid goalie. 1 point is disappointing, but nothing to be ashamed of. Won't keep the sky from falling around here though.

Need to grab 2 from the Jets on Saturday.

 

[triggrman]

Hendricks was a shootout specialist I thought.

 

[Cashville]

Arghh I hate the shootout. All in not a bad game though. Still 0.500.

 

[hockey diva]

We play in Montreal on Saturday, we play the Jets on Sunday

 

[utkpred]

I would give up a lot of our defensive pieces for one top 6 finisher

 

[wadesworld]

I liked Smith and Forsberg's moves in the shootout. Smith just got too close and Forsberg barely missed.

I don't understand constantly feeding Weber and watching him miss the net 4 times on the power play.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Ooops, yeah, I see it. One hopes we can swing 4 points, but that's a pretty tough order playing back to back. That's some pretty crap scheduling though...like playing a b2b in New York and then St. Louis. Brutal.

agreed. the team is improving. PP not so much. the only movement is weber/jones trying to set up a shot.

goodnight all. see you guys saturday.

What defensive pieces? We don't have a 7th d-man ... skating 3 technically rookies plus Ellis ... Piskula is hurt in Milwaukee.

I am fine with a point against the kings. Team played well. We just had a golden opportunity with the PP in OT.

I'm speaking as if Josi were on the ice... Weber-Jones-Josi-Klein is ridiculous

We still don't have the depth to make such a move. Imagine an injury to Jones, Klein, or even Ellis-Ekholm at this point. That aside, who are you moving, and who do you think it's going to return us?

With a healthy Josi we have one of Ellis, Ekholm, or Bartley as the 7th while the other two skate. Just where is the depth that enables moving any of them?
