Post-Game Talk: Stars win in Shootout 3-2. Chico night indeed.

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

I can't get on Cory when this league still thinks it's acceptable to decide a game with a circus show. Never mind that the devils are brutal in these things, but this **** needs to go. Why even play an overtime anymore? No poke check or not, it's embarrassing watching a player crawl down the ice and have the goalie dead to rights like that. Pull that ******** with a player breathing down your back.

 

[JimEIV]

Cory does need a night off though. He made some great saves in the 3rd, but the 2nd goal was weak sauce and that was just terrible in the shootout.

Break might be what he needs.

That's two incredibly soft goals that have literally cost games...in only 7 played.

 

[Uli Hiemer]

we need a new #1 center, Zajac can't keep up with offense

Henrique and Zajac have been invisible.

Henrique is doing nothing for Ryder right now.

 

[Hisch13r]

Should a had Josefson at center and Brunner in...oh wait....shoulda had Larsson for the shootout.. yeah shoulda had Larsson for the shootout stupid DeBoer.

Josefson had an assist and Brunner had a goal...

 

[Benedict Parisechuk]

JJ set up the first goal, was a +1 and played a grand total of 7 minutes.

#Deboer

 

[StvBroDan]

Except its for the other teams and im getting sick of it already.

 

[Uli Hiemer]

JJ set up the first goal, was a +1 and played a grand total of 7 minutes.

He'll be benched next game.

I actually think Deboer coached a decent game tonight. This just looked like a bad team losing to a good one, but managing to steal a point.

I think tonight just showed that this is a bad team. Larsson in for Sal or Brunner in for Tootoo, it doesn't really matter. Is it stupid not to play those guys? Yeah, probably. Would it make a lick of difference for this team? No, probably not.

There is only one thing this team is a threat for, and that is to become the first team to have a guy die on the ice of old age. Watching these games it like watching a Model T in a drag race against a Lambo. It's hard to watch. And that's not Petes fault.

Brunner clearly made a difference tonight. As did JJ.

They showed Pete in the 2nd and he looked like he wanted to cry. I would too.

Did you even watch the game? Brunner clearly made a difference

 

[devilsblood]

Happened last year.

Though I expect it won't this time.

 

[Uli Hiemer]

The good thing is Cory does seem to be better at stopping one on ones in game but looks like a cone in the actual shootouts.

Oh well.

#firedeboer

Please and thank you.

Or enjoy another playoffless season.

 

[MauDevils]

And Zajac? How bad is his hands?

If he was our #3 center we would be set, unfortunately he's our #1.

 

[Emperoreddy]

And we still lost. Point is we can send out the perfect lineup everyone has been crying for and we still lose.

 

[SeidoN]

Should a had Josefson at center and Brunner in

1 assist, 1 goal

Fans 2 Deboer 0

 

[NHL Fanatik*]

Some are overreacting; our young defense looks great, and we are clearly scoring more. We are already a better team than last season; and we are tied for 2nd in the division.

Why are people freaking out; lets be thankful we won 3 straight for the first 3 games. Getting two points out of the last four games isn't THAT bad.

To be honest, I don't think Toe Blake could get this team in the playoffs. But at least, with a new face maybe some of the young uns would play more.

 

[R8Devs]

No one said that Brunner and Josefson guarantees a win but they should in the lineup. I don't see how that's hard to understand?

That "Put on the Brakes" move definitely needs to go. It's as stupid as the spinorama. Both Spezza and Jagr stopped the forward momentum of the puck.

 

[Sir Fenwick Corsi]

Brunner brings some creativity. They need as much of that as they can get.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Brunner clearly made a difference tonight. As did JJ.

You're absolutely right to say Brunner looked really good. As did JJ. They absolutely did and I agree they should be playing. However, I mean this in a more "grand scheme of things" kind of way. They still lost. Brunner being in the lineup doesn't push this team over the top. He adds an element they need, but they need way more of that element. It's like putting a drop of water on a bonfire and expecting it to extinguish the fire.

I agree that Pete makes some really dumb personnel choices, but even if they iced what we think is the best team they are capable of icing, it's still not a good team, and it's still gonna lose more than it wins.

 

[Bleedred]

Zubrus with 1 point in 7 games now.

He's finished. Picked up right where he left off last season. It's more than fair to assume he's done. Not a completely useless player, still a good player defensively and on the PK. Needs to be on the 4th line though. There are players better than him that play on the 4th line and have been scratched.

 

[StvBroDan]

If Pete coached a decent game he blew it putting Jages out there

 

[Devils090]

anyone blaming this loss on Schneider needs to get a grip
