That kid scored what 95 percent of those points is the first 2 3 weeks of the season? He's been awful since nov and he's what 24 25 years old? Not a player for a Cup team
And Fast is still horrible a 4th liner at best. Awful on the pk (the numbers show it) and has hands of stone. Any other guy not named Glass on the roster wins that game for us in the third period. A penalty shot and a tap in miss. Having him on the pp??? Ridiculous
Why the hate on fast?
Could you or someone else please post a list of the "darling teams" so I can better understand this idea.
Thank you
Why the hate on fast?
the wings were flat out brutal last night. they played bad boring hockey. granted they were tired from prior night and being on the road and all but awful game for 2 periods. the aren't very good right now. we should have blown them out.
lots of names but not much else. jimmy howard- a syr guy btw, made saves but again, we need too bury chances. kept making him look good with our inability to finish chances. common problem.
we were treated yet again to the woeful thing that is out power play. noticed how aggressive detroit was on the pk. always pressuring us and all we do is pass it around the wall and many times look as though shooting is an after thought. telegraphed shots, passes and weal attempts define the pp. its just stupid to think you cant score when you have one more player than they do. the pp is killing us.
our pk has been better but thats too passive too. no urgency, lots of standing and trying to intercept passes and not much else. would like to see us be more aggressive and take away time and space more than let the opposition set things up and run their plays.
i thought our defense played very well. girardi and even stall have found their games it seems. dan boyle was horrendous again and mcilrath looked like he hadn't played in a month. he needs to get more games and play with a better partner. he's making zone read mistakes and looks tentative.
hank seems to have settled in and thats a good thing.
the no goal call was borderline. if it were against us, we lose that one every time.
gathering points lately which is good. 5th in gpg and 11th in ga is good. the pp and pk numbers are atrocious. unless fixed, this team is going not where with those special teams results.
his that rick nash guy playing ? oh wait, he's not.... can we just settle this once and for all, were playing better WITHOUT that albatross. not only dont we need him to succeed, we need to get rid of him to prosper.

If he grows a playoff beard does that mean he's vanilla with sprinkles?
Yup. Bland as hell, but still does the job.
Fast playing 19 mins a night is absurd. He IS a fourth liner folks. Hard working guy no hands good defensively but lousy on pk again numbers show it. You want to tell me he's a top 6 guy? What Cup team has a Jesper Fast who scored all his goals face down on the ice into empty netters only, in their top 6? None. He's a fourth liner.
Team is now 6-0-1 without McDonagh, we're playing better without him!

Fast is an excellent third liner. Calling him a 4th liner is a disservice to what he brings. His offense has dried up, but I think he has it in him to be a 15-15 player next season.
So who plays instead? Having 23 points in 56 games when you average 12 minutes a game is good. Who cares if he has bursts of scoring, who doesn't in this league? Who does this team play instead? There is none, because the farm is ditched.That kid scored what 95 percent of those points is the first 2 3 weeks of the season? He's been awful since nov and he's what 24 25 years old?
