And yeah why the **** didn't schneider poke check. As soon as I saw it was Kadri I thought "I wish schneider knew how to poke check". Oh well, picking up points is crucial, so didn't come up empty handed. On to the next one.

Elias needs to be banned from ever taking another shootout attempt in his career.

I'd like to know what his percentage is in the last 16 attempts? Maybe 2 for? He's as bad as Henrique at them ever since 2013.

That was a pretty sweet move by Kadri. We probably didn't deserve a point tonight, but I'm not gonna complain about it. Just wish we had more consistent performances against weaker teams instead of saving them for games against playoff teams.

No Zajac at all, and no Henrique for half the game. This team has no depth to begin with, so we're lucky to scrape out a point with neither of those 2 really playing.

Anyone know Palmieir's numbers in the s/o? Surprised he never shoots considering how bad Henrique is at these

Just dumping points left and right and mostly to poor teams. Going to cost them big time.

I'd pay good money to not have to sit through another shootout. No words to explain how much I can't stand this bull ****.

I'd like to never see Elias again in the shootout, I mean that.

Terrifically awful offensive game from Josefson, has the offensive instincts of a box of rocks. It was fitting that he missed by a mile in the shootout.

It's going to be Benny Hill worthy if we have to play without Henrique and Zajac against Detroit and the Isles this weekend.

So that's now 0-5-1 against bottom 5 teams IIRC, that's going to be this team's downfall

We're ****ed if both Zajac and Henrique are out for any amount of time. :laugh:

I can't quote because of the problems with the board tonight, but to answer RG's question on Josefson's value.

It isn't much if he loses his shootout ability. Of course he does other things well, but they're more replaceable than the shootout ability.

I'm already annoyed up to my roof with him. The bottom 6 is filled with cream of crap offensive talent, but he should really be the most talented offensive player down there. We didn't have to use a first round pick on any of the other guys. None of them are even first round picks, a lot of them aren't even NHL drafted players at all.

Should have beat the trash Leafs in regulation. Another lousy start that started earlier than Henrique's departure from the game.

I'm guessing Schlemko isn't a very intelligent human being.

When you need to score to keep the game alive, you dont go with, "Degree of difficulty 10.0", you ratchet it down to the 6.5 to 8.0 range.
