Country club atmosphere created by Lou. Lou keeping everyone around on lifetime deals has made for a poor culture.I couldn't agree more! Lack of accountability.
Did you miss Barzal and his pathetic attempt at defenseSomeone explain what Brock Nelson is doing on OT winner? Trying to pretend to be a pylon???
Seperation anxiety? Lock everyone up for the rest of his lifetime and never send a bad player like Bolduc or Whalstrom to the AHLDoes Lou have dementia?
NopeDoes Lou have dementia?
Pulock is a - 8 this season. I was thinking he was set for a good year....
If Lane wasn’t canned after the losing streak I don’t see why he would be now. Lou sounded genuinely confident in him in his presser the other day
I disagree - if they continue to lose leads in the third period. Lou will not sit on his hands and neither will ownership.
Ultimately, the players have to make those plays and Mayfield botched 3 plays... maybe they are doing too much, maybe he is not fully healthy... but they need a change on the bench... a new voice.
And most of you know I defended Lambert all of last season, but I have seen enough.
Playing with Bolduc doesn’t helpPulock is a - 8 this season. I was thinking he was set for a good year....
Rock. Bottom.
Up 4-1 and then bam, the wheels completely fall off.
This team is perhaps as bad defensively as we have seen in some time, no doubt....but Sorokin has been absolutely dreadful in the later frames.
He has now given up 28 of his 52 for the season in the 3rd period and OT. Mindboggling that 54% of his goals allowed have come in the last period and the short extra frame. He is now (0-5) in OT and lost his lone shutout as well- this for a guy we just backed up the Brink's truck for....
His save percentages:
1st two periods: .933 (24GA- 335/359)
3rd period: .889 (23GA- 184/207)
Overtime: .792 (5GA- 14/19)
Some of it had been terrible luck as he entered last night with a .933 EV save percentage and his numbers were being destroyed by so many PP failures, but that wasnt the case last night as all 5 Sharks goals were ES including the last 4 in 13 minutes of play...
Granted, the absolutely dreadful defense is making him face more shots than he ever has (36.6 SA per game in 16 starts, which is ridiculous) but his clutch numbers have been woeful to say the least
Neither does playing in front of Sorokin.Playing with Bolduc doesn’t help
Dobson +7 and Pelech + 6Neither does playing in front of Sorokin.
I actually think the team is missing Bailey. He was a good defensive player and well liked in the room. Trading draft picks to dump him so we could have Fasching instead was another horrible Lou move.
Lou Must Go!!
I think the worst thing that could have happened to Lou was he fell in love with the 2021 team. It skewed his objectivity.Seperation anxiety? Lock everyone up for the rest of his lifetime and never send a bad player like Bolduc or Whalstrom to the AHL
Weak backhand clear on the Labanc goal. Right to him for a clear point shot snipe.I was watching him most of the game closely. He makes some strange decisions sometimes on coverage and forcing passes, just like most of this team. There is no reason why he cannot be much much better.
Rock. Bottom.

I like the take!!You understand the link here, no? Isles D goes to crap at the end of the game and, as expected, G #'s balloon.
and just to make it even more clear.. Martin Brodeur doesnt have his numbers without NJ's defense in front of him.
Our swiss cheese D, and grossly ineffective and inefficient play, is the problem.
NASSAU REVISITED MUST GO! LOL
He was a horribly lazy player (and not particularly good at anything but passing) and who gives AF if he was well liked.
Yes.I like the take!!
I am no Bailey lover and he is over the hill. But was trading him and a 2nd so we can have similar over the hill players worth it
