Great back check by Kassian as well.

That's 7 poor games in a row for Nilsson. Was really hoping he could be a diamond in the rough for us. Now he just looks like more rough.

He really should never play another game this season. Send him down and call up Brossoit. He's just atrocious

Your quote is pretty close to what he said. Where in that quote does he blame Yakupov for the goal? He says he didn't make enough of an effort to prevent the goal. Subtle but important difference.

lol ok. if that's 'not blaming', then I'm 'not saying you're out to lunch'.

This team drives me nuts. Flames and Canucks both lose, we can make up ground... Nope we're ****ing losers as usual.

At least Draisaitl hustled and tried to prevent the EN goal. 90% of our players would have just lazily skated back toward the zone and raise their stick in the air as if to say "i tried, its impossible"..

They sucked. Did not even deserve to be tied anyways.

Another blown point (possibly two)

Can't wait untilt he draft when a lot of these losers are gone!

Just ride Talbot and ride him hard. February 26th is the next time he shouldn't be the starter.

Let LB get prime minutes in Bakersfield.

The pass was fine. Draisaitl just lost his balance.

Better players would have put that puck into the open side and not jamming him with it. Drai lost balance trying to adjust to the bad pass. In any event play pretty much summed up the team. Find ways to lose. Cant handle success.

This is 7 straight bad starts for him, are you seriously trying to defend Nilsson? No words can be spoken for what you could be thinking right now.

Not defending, but Talbot has had a bad stretch as well.

He missed one stride. Only way he would have stopped the goal is if he knew from the get-go that Nilsson was going to be an idiot. Even then, he's not exactly wearing goalie pads. Putting your head down and busting ass to your suddenly empty net isbn't a conventional defensive play.

Missed one stride? He didn't take a stride from the blue line to the middle of the circle. He watched Nelson go walkabout and didn't skate to try and prevent the inevitable.

Fix the ****ing powerplay Woodcroft you goof. Talbot in and this one is a win. Between the pop fly goal and the bum rush 25 ft out of the net goal, Nilsson cost us at least a point tonight.
