I remember when we used to score goals.

 

[Gurglesons]

This team would be ridiculous with Jake.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I remember when we used to score goals.

I remember when we had more than a couple of players who could pick the corners and not just wack pucks in the general direction of the goalie and hope for the best.

The team's been built that way by design though. That's how they want it.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I'll catch heat for this, but I miss Marino just as much if not more.

And I miss Jake terribly.

And those players aren’t picking corners consistently enough...

When exactly was this?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

When exactly was this?

Jake? Phil when he was still useful in the 2017 Cup run? That 2017 team was able to win despite getting caved in possession wise because they had enough high end skill to finish the limited chances they were able to generate.

Right now, the only two guys who have the ability to consistently "pick the corners" are Sid and Geno. And honestly, right now Sid's still getting back up to speed and doesn't seem to consistently be able to get into a position to do that right now. The rest of the guys just seem to fire and hope for the best.

This is lies.

Sully only misses his one true boy.

It all went downhill after he got injured

Rust has 24 goals in 48 games. Where is the love?

 

[HuskerTornado]

It's true.
It's damn true.

The goals have dried up a bit as of late and the missing 40 goal scorer looms large.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Rust has 24 goals in 48 games. Where is the love?

I know, ungrateful punks. Rust has carried this team for 48 games, he's tired, no one wants to help him except Malkin.

1 like=1 prayer for jakey boi

 

[EightyOne]

Who is Guentzel? I haven't heard his name all year.

 

[vodeni]

I got to chime in too...Every game I watch without Jake, my appreciation grows higher...We have no one to replace him

 

[Shady Machine]

Rust has 24 goals in 48 games. Where is the love?

How many lately? He's had an incredible season, but has 2 ES goals since Jan 19th. Not sure which Rust we will get down the stretch and in playoffs, but we need the guy from earlier in the year to go on a long run.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Jake is love, Jake is life.

 

[ZeroPucksGiven]

Jake is love, Jake is life.

Yes.

Rust had an absolutely phenomenal first half, but that wasn't sustainable. It was inevitable that he come back down to earth.

He's a great complementary winger, but he's not a high end goal scorer.

Rust is as close to high end scorer as we have...(without Jake in the line up). I had high hopes that Zucker may become one playing along Sid, jury's still out, but kind of preparing myself for a MEH zone....

Don't disagree on Rust, but that's kind of my point. Without Jake, we really NEED Rust to be the high end guy he has been or strike it hot with Zucker, McCann, Sheary, Horny, etc.

Lots of solid depth, but don't really have a go to scorer.
