Ah Oh well. Our goalie lost this one for us.

When you go 0-5 and -1 on the PP in a one goal game, it's the PP that cost the game.

Nilsson ****ed up, but we had so many chances to win this game, and our hopeless, putrid, worse than Eakins powerplay system cost us the game.

The arrogance that the coaching staff has to keep trotting out a junk system that doesn't work is at an Eakins level. Has probably cost us 3-4 games at least this year.

Anders Nilsson !

[Del Preston]

Eat **** Woodcroft.

Nilsson was horrid.

More points pissed away. Yay!

 

[Jepprey]

Nilsson and the PP.

 

[t0nedeff]

Nilsson is the worst. I was 100 percent wrong about him and they should just waive him send him to the AHL and let Brossoit be the back up for the rest of the year.

 

[Werd]

The one bright spot Brandon Davidson +3 on the night.

Is that 10 straight 1-goal games now? Includes tonight and last night... can't close them out. Barf.

 

[nabob]

Goalie gave up 5 goals. Offense scored 4. You should win if you score 4 goals. Even poor goaltending wins that game. It was ****** goaltending that lost it, his 7th straight ugly game.

 

[Raab]

Good game from the boys, couple mistakes that cost us. Absolutely need to get the PP going, still to static and not moving enough to open up lanes.

 

[McGlassbangers]

Nilsson was in full Scrivens mode tonight. Brossoit is better.

 

[Quality Oil]

Nilsson went all the way to his blue line to clear a puck - he did this beacuse he doesn't trust Jultz. Does anyone trust Jultz?

What a massive ****up

 

[Aerrol]

Nilsson was trying to emulate an actually talented goaltender. Problem is, he didn't get the memo about needing to actually be quick and composed...and to actually touch the puck.

The Oil showed heart to comeback in the 3rd.

But from that PP on.......

 

[Old Boys Club]

Pp is garbage. System worked in SJ because they are a team that wins the majority of board battles and is a possession team. Over halfway through the season and Woodcroft still hasn't taken Schultz or Hunt of the ****ing pp. Can't wait till Klefa comes back because the powerplay actually looked decent when he was up top.

 

[McAsuno]

I really believe that Woodcroft isn't the reason why the sharks PP was so lethal. How the **** do you not have a decent PP with all of the firepower on this team? Brutal.

6-4!

Kassian and Pakarinen were good. Davidson close behind.

Tampa were average.

Team battled but not good enough.

Nilsson lost at sea.

PP... diabolical.

Schultz was worse.

That about sums it up.

 

[McMozesmadness]

To many passengers again.

Also Nilsson had an incredibly bad game.

Plenty of positives... But we lost so I'm pissed.

 

[McTedi]

Nilsson and the PP.

Exactly this, not nearly good enough. A shame after the team battled back in the 3rd.

 

[nabob]

Nilsson is the worst. I was 100 percent wrong about him and they should just waive him send him to the AHL and let Brossoit be the back up for the rest of the year.

We don't play back to back until the end of February. Let Nilsson be a target in practice until then and ride Talbot until then and ride LB in Bakersfield. No point calling him up to have him watch games from the bench, more AHL time is what he needs.

 

[BlackDogg]

They finally got some bounces and a few goals and then get absolutely brain dead goaltending. ****en frustrating.

 

[oil Leaks]

Nilsson should never start again. Start riding Talbot and don't look back.
Brad Hunt needs to gtfo like ASAP. You have one job Hunt, this whole game, ONE JOB.
Eberle seem to be allergic puck battles. His playing softer then Purcell.
Can't believe how crappy our PowePlay, considering we have the same core as last year.
