shoot out needed

Guess that's that. No talent to win a shootout. Got a point anyway! See you Monday!

Chychrun, Wilson, Protas? Put guys in the shootout that can score!  Whoever is coaching  our shootout style, needs to abandon the stickhandling all the way to the goal - shoot the freakin puck from 10 feet and score!  Arrrrrgggg.

LT was awesome.


Not sure why we don't bring up Miro or somebody - some new blood.  We should sit Lappy, Beauvy and Sourdif. Heck, I would sit McMike even though he scored a layup.


TVY looked aweful - very slow and impersonates a traffic cone.

well it was a decent effort to come back against a good team after we dug ourselves a hole.
We suck at the SO.  Ovi should never take another SO opportunity again.  It's not his skillset.  He is also a liability in OT - if we lose the puck with him out there we are at opponent's mercy until we get a stoppage.
Strome yes, McMike...sometimes - well he was flying around that game and to be honest Ovie seemed he was all over as well so let's hope they were trying to go with the hot hands, but I'd put skilled puck handlers out on the SO.  Ovi just isn't that anymore.  Beavy seems odd choice to me, but I dunno him that well..he seems like a board battle guy not so much skilled hands.
I'd maybe try Lenny again - he smoked a guy in SO his first attempt (failed his second - that's all i recall).  Protas maybe, but he's ice cold right now.  I'd give Willy a shot then maybe Chychrun.
Damn i just went thru the whole roster and there is no real clear choice.  Not a single guy seems like a good option except maybe Stromer.


FFS - HIT HIM!!!
SHOOT - THE - PUCK
