[alta]

now it's the dreaded 3 on 3

[OurLadyOfPatience]

Needed that fucking point though....it's about to get tight with the playoff picture.

No one likes a tight playoff picture... Too close for comfort.

[ArJunaZ]

Question for y'all.
Did anyone actually expect us to win tonight?
Not me.  Not with this team.

I was pretty confident at the start, but it was difficult to maintain I must say.

[ArJunaZ]

 

[alta]

that. was. fucking. pathetic.

[richkrt99]

My money is on Zebad for 5 tonight.

[richkrt99]

My money is on Zebad for 5 tonight.

And as I think it....


Sorry guys

[OurLadyOfPatience]

My money is on Zebad for 5 tonight.

Hope you got paid...

[Mickstix]

lol.

[apace41]

Philthy and the Hens both won tonight.

The game ended as it should have. With us ignoring the one player on their team that killed us all night long and letting him get a breakaway.  How fucking stupid are we as a team?  Seriously.


Both PIT and PHI are FAR SUPERIOR to us right now.  We are perhaps the 5th best team in the Metro right now and if we hold on for a playoff spot we will be out in 4 maybe 5 games.  We play with no grit.

What the FUCK was Orlov doing?


He just watched Zebad skate away from him.


Why the FUCK was Orlov going up the ice?

1pt>0pt


I asked and I received, least we didn’t get through the entire game with no points to show for the effort.

      I was thinking the same thing.

     I don't think it even matters if we make the playoffs. We can't beat anyone.

[apace41]

Teams take on the personality of their coach.  Trotz was tough-minded and didn't take bullshit.  Reirdon is an intellectual who "thinks" hockey and the team doesn't play with an edge.  Other than Wilson and Dillon who on this team plays with an edge -- not stupid like Eller and Carlson tonight -- but a real edge.  Ovi can but he needs to preserve.  We are a weak-minded group, epitomized by players like Vrana, Kuzy and Backstrom, none of whom will hit anything.  I forgot Hathaway who plays with an edge.  Oshie at times but he's been shit for a while now. 

Bottom line -- this season is too late to salvage.  We were great in the first 1/2 when NOBODY PLAYS SUPERHARD and nobody hits.  We have sucked since teams have ratcheted it up and I think we are back to the old days in terms of how we play.

Sad but true.  Going nowhere this season.

Or heart.
Or intensity.
Or will.
Or DISCIPLINE,
Or energy.
or co-ordiinaton.
Or control.

I would like to see Dale Hunter and Alan May together coach this fucking team for 1 week.


They would both be either in lock up or the drunk tank

Worse than that -- we don't seem to really care.
