  1. I dunno if his issue is more mental or physical or a bit of both… I hope Rod moves him back to 2 tonight but I doubt it.
  2. 2 in his last 2 games. But 2 in his last 5 games. It feels like that cause before Toronto he was taking at least a penalty a game for a 4 game straight stretch. NJD’s through Florida.
  3. To be fair in his last 5 he’s only taken 2 penalties, one was an avoidable penalty. One in a game where the refs were calling literally everything they could on us. That said in the month of March he has 14 minutes as a whole and is second in penalties on the season, behind Lemieux(duh) by a long shot and 4 minutes ahead of Staal for the season. The majority(28/48) of those coming in November and March. The other months are between 4 and 6, which I feel like is average or below average for a month. Something is definitely off with him this month.
  4. Toronto is gonna be no joke. We played the worst hockey we have in a long time against them in Toronto. I want to see a very conservative game tonight, we will create scoring chances especially with our additions throughout the game. We don’t always need to be trying for the flashy play or nice shot. Value puck possession and protect the blue lines.
  5. We aren’t morning skating today… not sure I approve of this. Sloppy loose play projected to continue.
  6. Ya. Should be something like if you don’t cross the attacking blue line in a certain amount of time, fair enough to make a full change but not much longer, the other team gets the puck as a free line rush at the red line and the offending team can’t cross across their blue line until the puck crosses it. So basically the non offending team gets a free head of steam crossing the zone.
  7. Isn’t Woll technically their better goalie right now though?
  8. Edmonton climbing back in it slowly. Take ‘em to OT Edmonton!
  9. Thinking about it Staal is either basically shoots 10 feet wide or scores there is no in-between on anything besides stuff shots.
  10. That’s if we have bodies to spare, with Drury, Fast(and TT for a bit) being out.
  11. I’m wondering if his oblique is acting up again. That would make sense why he can’t hit the net and if that’s the case rest the dude until the playoffs if we got the depth to spare.
  12. He was slashing Pyotr all night but a kick to the leg is not a good in the league’s eyes.
  13. Philly stalled out Boston. Rags and Florida tonight so somebodies getting 2 points up on us.
  14. Honestly I’d move svech back up to 2 for the Toronto game and if he’s still struggling bench him for a game or two so he can get his head straight. Doubt Rod would do it but… Put TT with Staal and Marty if Fast can’t play.
  15. Yes he’s struggling right now but… Make of it what you will. Cory definitely putting things in perspective though. That Guenz stat stands out.
  16. Better start getting Martin ready for some games. Washington is really trying to cause a stink about Pyotr kicking the dude hacking his glove hand from behind.
  17. I hope Rod is at least doing an “optional skate” today for those that have been slacking but I doubt it cause rest…
  18. If you want to go purely on numbers. Jarvis is a great open space shooter but that doesn’t necessarily translate to 1v1 without distractions, Netfront, etc. Perhaps he deserved a chance but I would have gone Kuz, Martinook, Aho, Guenz, Slavin last night.
  19. The whole line has been poo, but so have 1 and 4 vs. Philly and 3, 4 vs the caps. We need practices. We aren’t playing canes hockey and instead falling back on flashy “easy” hockey. For real dude, we sucked in the past week or so minus the senators game, the Isles were not in it in their game and we took advantage of that. Like I said, these wild card teams are going to lay down. We weren’t valuing possession, we are grinding to our spots on the outside and we are losing a majority of the offensive zone board battles, while favoring them to give away the puck, either in ice or on the clear. I said it all last night, we could score against either Washington goalie. That wasn’t the issue. Drop of a hat could score. But we weren’t playing winning hockey, we were chasing the game the entire game. We desperately need a full practice but we won’t get one until probably Monday or maybe Wednesday. Easy hockey is not canes hockey and Rod needs to put a stop to this poo now. Everyone is way too goal/individual offense focused. It’s also important to note we got banged the fug up last night, hopefully Fasty and Drury are on call.
  20. I mean the dude could have been out of wind, disoriented, assessing how bad the injury was, etc. That one’s on the refs, even if it was an attacking zone push by the caps.
