GDT: Vs Colorado - Eichel hope it's a great game

At this point you have to wonder if PDB is on the hot seat.

I sure as shit hope he is cause we aren't winning jack shit with this god awful coach.

I'd hope so. but I'd also have hope the fired spot after the clusterf*** of a power play we had last year, so I'm not optimistic.

People call this a top 5 team? I even heard the announcers call this a top 5 team. I just don't see it. I haven't seen it all at this season.

We’re not even as good as Calgary right now.

Let's face it the team needs Stone more than Eichel right now, but they will have to settle for what they can get out there. Team needs a swift kick in the ass that a true captain brings, not to mention the little things he does.

Still would have lost even with Stone.

This team is still could miss the playoffs. I don't get anyones sayng that Vegas is pretty much a lock for them.

Not a lock but we know they find a way to put together a run of results in tough spots. Not certain but very likely to do it. Might finish 2nd or 3rd, but if they get Stone and Martinez back for the playoffs I wouldn't worry about positioning for at least the West bracket. Getting past the Avs or one of the beasts from the East probably a difficult task but it's hockey, anything can happen.

 

[IceNeophyte]

No, Patrick for trying to bite his shoulder.

I mean there is no way Mackinnon even gets a hearing. Because he is Mackinnon

 

[mundyc3]

Lose two of the next three I'll worry. Now, Eichel is here. It'll be fine.

MacKinnon & the Cryarado Saltalanche are the real victims here.

 

[CupInSIX]

Can't wait to see Jack when he's going at full pace. There's a lot to be excited about, but it may take another week or two.

 

[TheRarestDangles]

Decent game for Jack. I anticipate he'll get into his groove sooner or later and we'll be able to dominate the Aves

I looked at the schedule for March/April. There are an awful lot of winnable games, so unless there is a revolt or a collapse I don't see missing the playoffs. I don't like how we're playing either, and I still don't trust our goaltending, but I still think we have the pieces to be a top-5 team. And frankly, I'm more scared of Avs/Calgary than I am of the Eastern teams, particularly Tampa, who I think has taken a few steps back this year (except for Vasilevskiy stealing some games I think they're not as good as Canes or Puddy Cats). Of course, all could change with the TDL shoring up weaknesses.

^I worry about injuries keeping us out of the playoffs too with the way this season has gone.

I think the Whitecloud injury is quite under-rated for how much it hurts us.

 

[The Duck Knight]

It's the difference between Coghlan being in the lineup or not, so yeah it's a pretty big blow.

 

[sabresfan65]

I didn't like the lines last night. I know the 4th line got hit with Patrick being out, but I didn't like the flow of the Marchy-less Misfits or the Stephenson/Marchy line. It didn't seem like either was in sync at all. Hopefully Friday will be better but day 1 was a failure of line juggling.

 

[flyfysher]

Avs fan coming in peace. Hope Patrick is okay.
