i think we are going to see some unexpected off season move from Allvin

The best move he could do would be initiating an investigation into what the hell happened to this team at the all star break and rectifying it.

 

[TruKnyte]

They have had possession quite a bit this game just no finish.

They just pass around the perimeter and look for a shot from the point. So predictable and easy to block

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Pettersson for Reaves

Reaves is honestly having a much better payoff start than Pettersson

 

[JumpierPegasus]

This is the most boring playoff game I've ever seen

 

[Bleach Clean]

When this team had a healthy Demko and Pettersson playing serviceably, they were very very good.

When you remove two superstar players from a team, they have been not nearly as good.

You're trying to frame not having another quality 2nd line winger as being a bigger problem that two superstars being missing ... which is ludicrous.

Pettersson scored 100 points last year with Mikheyev and Kuzmenko as his primary wingers. He was on pace for it again this year until going absolutely AWOL in the last 2-3 months of the season.

Kuzmenko was very skilled and the team was looser in their play. Mikheyev also overperformed. You're seeing what he is now.

You've got the frame wrong, as with everything else. The frame is that when the superstar isn't going, what else is there? Very little. Last year, at least Kuzmenko was the skilled complement. Now? Maybe Hoglander wakes up. Maybe.

 

[calnuck]

just shoot the f***ing puck

 

[Hit the post]

Hmm... Does Petey actually not have a NMC for the first year of his contract?

His current level of play & his cap hit make it virtually a "NMC".

 

[TruKnyte]

Hey look at Saros control a rebound

 

[Flik]

I r sad

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Not getting another top 6 forward at the deadline really hurt this team in the long run. Hearing Allvin say there was no one really good available and the prices were too high was a cop out. Toffoli was available and didn't go for too much. A huge miss IMO.

Even getting Zucker would have helped.

Mikheyev for Kuzmenko

The trade is 1 for 1

 

[biturbo19]

We have three days off. Mikheyev, the fourth line and Juulsen shouldn't see another shift.

Mikheyev has been one of our best, on task players tonight. lol.

 

[Kryten]

Gotta screen Saros

 

[calnuck]

This is the most boring playoff game I've ever seen

This series so far has been a snoozefest.
Can Hughes take a shot without stick handling first Christ alive

 

[Nucker101]

No Juuse rebounds from Saros

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

If only Kuzmenko could have f***ing figured it out.

 

[TruKnyte]

It’s literally the same play every f***ing time. Tocchet really needs to draw something else up that they can switch off to

Mikheyev has been fine

 

[PG Canuck]

Keep getting looks like that one will go in

That's literally every team in the league. Nobody is anything without their superstore "core" going.

 

[Bleach Clean]

The f*** do wingers have to do with the Powerplay? lmao.

Lol are you serious?

 

[Hammer79]

At least EP is doing something useful (standing in front of the net)

 

[calnuck]

Yep just pass it back to the point every single time and hope Hughes can make something happen. Brutal

 

[Petey O]

How did that weak little push cause Pettersson to fall over?
