Hitch still can't beat the good teams. What's new.

Chicago's no good? Tampa? Nashville? What the **** are you talking about? Get a ****ing clue, man.

 

[shpongle falls]

I missed the game how did Lehtera look on the wing tonight?

 

[Ranksu]

So Fabbri played least min on 3rd period ~2:30.

Can somebody explains this? Why Hitch benched Fabbri on 3rd period? Even Reaves get more icetime on 3rd.

Lehterä looks like Lehterä. Never bad...never good.

Doesn't make sense, Jaskin Gomez and Fabbs looked dangerous all night

 

[Vladdy the Impaler]

Boys played alot better tonight. Point is a point.



You know at some point you can blame the skaters or give credit to the other team. They scored 1 goal in 65 minutes against the Blues. This team isn't made up of a bunch of wet behind the ears rookies, they know how to play the game

Hitch's system just doesn't work against the best teams in today's league.

Players are certainly culpable as well, but it doesn't help that Hitch holds them back.

I missed the game how did Lehtera look on the wing tonight?

Not all that good, not terrible. Not very impressive. He made some decent passes and some poor passes. He drove the net a few times, but also lost the puck a few times. He was adequate on defence over all, but looked bad on a few plays.

 

[Mike Liut]

Better effort. Not great, but much better. Need to build on this

Islanders got worked this game. If the scorers aren't scoring, your not going to win with 1 goal a game. Outside of a few give aways, they played well. They played well enough to win.

Hitch can rack up the regular season victories against lesser teams and OT points against the top teams, but when it comes down to a 7 game series against a top team, it's always the same result.

Our offense just looks incredibly weak right now. Maybe getting Schwartz back helps? I'm just trying to give myself a reality check, not trying to incite.

 

[Oberyn]

This team has become pretty dull to watch.

 

[Total Bender]

I still can't get over Parayko not being injured. I instantly though long term.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

I kind of would rather tank and try to get a center high in the draft rather than going into the playoffs with this team. I feel like we don't have an identity anymore.

 

[shpongle falls]

I just saw that replay too, I thought he was gonna be done for awhile for sure. Unbelievable.

Typical Lehtera eh? I think he'll turn it around eventually.

 

[Total Bender]

This team has become pretty dull to watch.

This... been trying to figure out if the NHL as a whole has become boring or if this team is already slowing down. Seems like we do a great job of repeatedly bashing our heads against the same strategies that have proven ineffective. Frustrating to watch.

Watching teams like Dallas, Chi and Washington makes me think our team struggles in the creativity department.

Still... we are doing fine in the standings and are sorely missing Jaden. Still managing to gather points.

Your not necessarily wrong, but this team has been in a serious funk these last couple weeks, they looked better tonight. The offense has been non existent for awhile. While I'm not very optimistic for this year....we're not even half way through the season yet. We're going to need some help up front....I'm not sure Schwartz will be enough

Could it be due to playing a position he's not familiar with?

 

[shpongle falls]

Lehtera has played wing several times before in his career so it's not totally foreign to him.

 

[SirPaste]

Could it be due to playing a position he's not familiar with?

I think it has more to do with him being Lehtera

 

[Stealth JD]

This team couldn't score with pockets full of hundred dollar bills at the Bunny Ranch. Seems like our only offense these days is Shattenkirk, Tarasenko and gifts from the other team. Army better do something about this dull offense, or it's going to be another short playoff appearance, as I've got zero faith in our ability to win 1-0 and 2-1 games in the playoffs. Luckily it's only December...but this team has some warts.

 

[Meatball]

Lehtera shouldn't be anywhere above the third line when this team is healthy. Just not a top six player this season.

Also, I wouldn't at all be opposed to a trade for added scoring even after 17 gets healthy. We need it badly.

 

[Robb_K]

Exactly! He was playing that way at centre, too.

We have to hope that he'll be an effective centre, when he has had an extended period of stability on the same line with regular linemates, so he can build the same type of chemistry as he has built with Tarasenko. He's not really a fast enough skater to play on the top line with Tarasenko, but if he can play instinctively well with his new linemates as he does with Tarasenko, he can become a decent 2B centre, especially if he shoots more when he has opportunities.

 

[BlueDream]

Cannot believe Parayko came back that quick but that good news overshadows this loss for me.

If we lose tomorrow night to a horrible team it's a different story.
