“We’re working through some things in the room” has to be the playoff theme. That quote has been used around 8-10 times this year by Lavi

I'm thinking at least 20. Everytime I hear it:

Edit some of the players and coaches heads and voila.

Please Connor, save us.

Good I'd rather lose playing the kids and getting them better, than watching old guys get older.

Top line McMike?

I’d guess a demotion to Hershey before top line Conagra.

It's his way of saying "no comment (at this time)" about any range of topics.

I, for one, don't take it personally,,, but it is getting a bit amusing.

I love this thread and it's title. This should be a fun night.

I get that Vitek is struggling (but so is our team D), and Sammy can sometimes get results.

But man Sammy makes it SO stressful to watch a game. Flopping all over the ice on routine saves, fumbling rebounds, sliding 5 feet out of net. Every save is an adventure, and it gets exhausting to watch.

"It is what it is"

 

[RedRocking]

Here’s an idea for a “thing to work on in the room”:

Stop having the D pinch so much, and so irresponsibly. Enough of Schultz behind their net trying be #99, and more staying responsible at the blue line.

I feel like this would save 1-2 goals a game immediately.

Show some life tonight and I am happy.

Turnovers near the blue line when were in the offense zone scare me. Their guys just fly right by our standing still D. Flip the hips and get the f*** back or have enough forethought to see the turnover and break out coming

 

[g00n]

I'd like for a reporter to follow up with "what 'things' and how are you 'working through' them?"

Too much to ask?

These have been my pet peeves recently. The pinching d-men and guys like Mojo just poking or fumbling the puck at the blueline. Along with horrible puck security when trying to exit the zone, they're basically making nearly every fundamental mistake possible.

Yeah I really want to win this. I’m tired of losing, and I don’t want to go to the playoffs feeling like we have no shot to do anything.

 

[pman25]

I think it was Japers that described Sammy as a rebound pez dispenser, leading to more shots against, lots of flopping and sliding and acrobatics. Tampa is getting 40 shots tonight!

 

[tycoonheart]

Hathaway out.

 

[Capitals40]

Hathaway out.

Healthy scratch?

 

[twabby]

I think this lineup is better than the one they were planning on using before Hathaway got sick.

 

[g00n]

O/U on ice time for 3rd line?
O/U on how long before Lavi breaks them up?

Imagine if his line combos were as consistent as this stupid phrase he keeps using

 

[tycoonheart]

God dammit, I have to deal with the TNT crew.

Yes the cringe is strong with that crew, isn't it?

Backstrom and Wilson have been turnover machines...not sure about them on the same line

It’s alright, our starting lines are just a loose suggestion

So true
