GDT: The Replacements vs Le Baguetteee Bois

[Sens1Canes2]

The lack of attention to detail is stunning. Possess the puck in OT inside the blue line, and dump it in...3 seconds later, breakaway.

 

[HisIceness]

Take the point, but they need motherf***ing wins after this.

 

[VAcaniac]

I mean sure, ill take the point.

but if we cant get 2 in montreal, are we really getting 2 in philly?

 

[Stickpucker]

Lost to a terrible low talent team.

Things are looking dim.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Glad Ned got a second chance so soon too— no matter what the circumstances.

be well, jerks! Here’s to a HORRIFICALLY bad week for our competitors!! ::clink clink:: lol

 

[Brock Anton]

Kinda funny that now TT decides to shoot.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I still can’t believe that was a thought to by turbo. How do you not pass to a teammate in your zone and then go change? Not try some dumb deep dump and try to change mid play. It is such an elementary level decision, how did we do anything different?

 

[SliceNDice92]

Atleast we have games in hand on Columbus to make playoffs. We all know where the habs definitely will be in April

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Horrible team but think of the circumstances?? Big momentum swing JUST TO GET THAT POINT. Im hoping this team will look better together the more time they get together.


I understand those who are bummed but Im happy with the point and J Will clutch goal.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

HOWEVER - it was 3-0 and they got a point. For all the talk of them being weak mentally ... I don’t buy that at all. They are young, yes, and they break down defensively a TON, yes .... but they’re nothing if not resilient. I’d almost put the slow starts on youth and arrogance rather than mental weakness. You can’t come back from these deficits if you’re f’d in the brain.

4 days before the next one...that’s never good either. Maybe a team building exercise is order given that we look like such a different squad.

Hopefully Vatanen and Mrazek will be ready to go for the road trip.

 

[AD Skinner]

Is there any chance reimer or mrazek are able to play Thursday?

 

[spockBokk]

Really, really hope they get Mrazek back and also get Vatanen on the ice for then next one...

 

[My Special Purpose]

Nevermind

It's weird that you took this down, because I think it's starting to become obvious that it's exactly the case. We *are* poorly coached.

I get that we've faced adversity, but the mistakes that are happening are unacceptable, and yet, nothing changes. We look aimless out there. There's *no* structure, offensively or defensively. It's a series of one-on-ones all over the ice with no discernible plan of any kind.

I love Rod, and I know he sees it. Why he's not doing anything about it is beyond me at this point, and I think it's OK to question him.

 

[Drivebytrucker]

Still don't get the starting Forsberg.

I was shocked when I saw that.


I feel like I'm beating a dead horse, but Jordan Staal needs to go this off season....

I cant watch him until 2045 or whenever he's sign to

St Catharine’s Street is but minutes away from the Bell Centre.

 

[MinJaBen]

Turbo clearly read yesterday’s GDT.

Sorry but when you need wins, blowing a 2nd point with dumb play to a bad team =\= what you are putting down here

their talent is what keeps them in games. Between the ears takes them out.

 

[spockBokk]

They kinda did piss a point away tonight, but they also really didn’t deserve the one they got. However they really have pissed away 4-5 points this year in the last 5 mins of tight games: the Gardiner gaffe in Boston, the night Hamilton got hurt in Columbus, the Vegas game in Raleigh and last night against Colorado...

Hey, at least TOR keeps winning, so the chances of them getting a top 10 pick keeps going down...

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

I mean sure, ill take the point.

i see your core point but actually yes — that would be an astoundingly canes hockey thing to do and i sure hope that‘s the case lol!

 

[DougieSmash]

This team still sucks. Can't wait for season's end... and get rid of Edmundson, TVR, Gardiner and Dzingel.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I blame Chuck

 

[vorbis]

will delete if cursed

 

[My Special Purpose]

One point is one more than we deserved the way we played. But once you get to OT, you'd like to at least give yourselves a chance, and we didn't. I think that's the disappointing part, to lose "like that" on a dumb play.

Still don't get the starting Forsberg.

I was shocked when I saw that.

I was shocked, too, only because Brindy wouldn't start Dominik Hasek on the second half of a back-to-back. But when you consider that his choice was Forsberg (who looked like an NHL goalie in his last game) or Nedeljkovic (who didn't), it was really the easy call.

Also, Forsberg and Nedeljkovic have nothing to do with why we lost.
