Yeah...Any playoff hopes are gonna be dashed if this losing streak continues for a few more games.That was a tough one. Gonna need a win against the Flames and Kraken here.
We just came back against them last week tho.I see the difference between them and us. They put you away when it's 3-1 by getting that go-ahead goal while when we have a 3-1 lead in the 3rd we usually just squander it away and end going up going to OT
Funny since they literally blew a 3-1 lead to us last weekI see the difference between them and us. They put you away when it's 3-1 by getting that go-ahead goal while when we have a 3-1 lead in the 3rd we usually just squander it away and end going up going to OT
That's part of the problem that's rearing it's ugly head again...We tend to fall behind by a goal, or two within the 1st ten minutes of the game.We just came back against them last week tho.
Soucey out with injury hurts but Myers is better than his HF reputation says he is. 19 pts +12, probably bout 100 hits and blocks so far. Cole is a little tank as wellI'm surprised at how good Vancouver is with that bottom four
Zadorov-Juulsen
Cole-Myers
That's ugly but they hide it somehow
We also suck with a lead.That's part of the problem that's rearing it's ugly head again...We tend to fall behind by a goal, or two within the 1st ten minutes of the game.
Lyon has been keeping us in games - that is until these past 2...If we had to rely on Reimer - chances are January would've looked more like DecemberWe also suck with a lead.
Think we have to sell some guys at the deadline, pick up assets and call up some kids
Don't think we'll get in ... too many teams getting close behind us and I checked the next weeks games and theres a few games where teams right behind us will face each other so a few of them will be getting 2 pts and inching closer
Pretty much...Our play from the 3rd period in Edmonton carried over.Credit to them, they were all over us. We flubbed the simple plays. They were a step ahead all night. It wasn't a lack of effort from the boys tonight, it was poor execution.
It was far from Lyon's best start, and I agree he wasn't "good," but he wasn't bad either. He just wasn't a storyline tonight, good or bad.I literally said we lost this game because of our PP and goaltending. I’m sorry Lyon was just not good. 4 goals on 20 shots not many high danger changes given up.
Has any other GM in the past 10 years been rewarded such a shitty roster (from Holland) and almost guaranteed 2, or 3 drops back in the draft lottery?If they sell at the deadline for a 5th straight year, then it's a failure on Yzerman's part.
No other general manager would get this long and be allowed to say "we're still not ready" entering year 6 on the job.
That being said, I don't think they'll be sellers.
Standing pat and missing the playoffs and letting ufa's walk for nothings a failureIf they sell at the deadline for a 5th straight year, then it's a failure on Yzerman's part.

Selling is a weird concept. I think there are current roster players that if replaced make us a better team. You technically have to "sell" them, but I wouldn't deem that giving up on the year.Three weeks yet till deadline, and we will play nine more games. That should give us an idea of sell or not.
Do... you... remember... the ... Franz... Neilsen... years...????If they sell at the deadline for a 5th straight year, then it's a failure on Yzerman's part.

Maybe Yzerman sends Holl to Toronto for BertuzziThree weeks yet till deadline, and we will play nine more games. That should give us an idea of sell or not.
That's true . Should have made room for edvinsson and berggren long time ago , might as well do it now and pick up some assetsSelling is a weird concept.

That GM's in pittsburgh now lol would have to be holl for smithMaybe Yzerman sends Holl to Toronto for Bertuzzi
Again. There are players on the roster that if replaced by players readily available, it would make us a better team. Addition by subtraction. Trick is finding a sucker.No way did we lose against two of the NHLs best teams and people start talking about selling.
Lol.
