Down our entire 2nd pair and arguably our 3 best forwards, right when things are beginning to look up

What the hell hockey gods... have we not suffered enough he past 5 years?

ooooh the "you've never played hockey argument."

It was a clean hit. The Wings were down a man. Hockey is a tough sport. But rage on keyboard warrior.
Hey, sometimes you can just tell people don't know what it's like to play against a player like Reaves.

Clean hit or not he's taking runs at guys way smaller than him. If you think that's acceptable fine. Some teams/people do, some don't.

But don't be mad at me that the shoe fit.

An though I'm way past my prime now I'd like to be known as Beer-league-Warrior now, please.

I've never played. Educate me please. Not a challenge, I want to learn.

Suppose it's an experience more than an education?

I'm not trying to be a jerk but seriously, I'm small(5'8,144lbs), and when dudes were gooning I was hoping someone put them in line cause I knew damn well I was gonna get hurt if someone took a run at me.

I full acknowledge the first hit was clean, Hronek had his head down. He might of even let up a little imo, but point still was after the second big hit on Lindstrom that you can't take runs at our guys. I liked seeing Chiarot drop them and people said to me it was stupid and I said back... Well clearly, you've never played, what I should have said was clearly you've never been in a similar situation with a guy like that on ice.

Prolly why Kubalik sucks tonight. He's worried about getting killed.

If you fight a guy that's literally only in the league to take runs at guys and fight, he won't do the only things keeping him in the league.

Or something...

Been this way for a decade now.

We're bottom 10 in offensive production every year, and sure enough, we are there again this year after the recent slump.
What the hell did many of you expect with Larkin, Bertuzzi, Vrana and Fabbri out... This current healthy roster can do only so much.

EDIT: Hronek now too

I don't understand your reply.

I'm serious - I played pond hockey a few times when I was 8. Other than that I'm just a TV fan. My belief is that if a team is muscling you, you should try to match their muscling. But I have no experience.

I expected a better effort than this to be honest.

Maybe I need to lower my expectations? I was hoping for the team to come out with fire and intensity though, but it hasn't happened. They look defeated.

Idk what about this lineup gave you expectations, but yes. Lower them. Missing some of our best players including unexpectedly losing one during the game.

Short-handed roster, road back to back... I'm not surprised

just a bad break... I think they are working hard personally
