Pretty sure 3 of the 4 Kings goals came off rebounds. The 4th on the breakaway.

But, as long as there are 2 points at the end of the day...

There’s been a lot of odd man rushes against us on this road trip… not sure if it’s the time zone or what but we aren’t playing our best hockey right now. Both goalies are giving us a chance though.

What I saw:

  • 23 shots is not going to get it done. And the only goal was from a defenseman.  11 of the 23 shots came from the blue liners. Meanwhile, these guys each had 1 shot on goal: Aho, Troc, Staal, Nino, Jarvis, Necas.
  • No net front presence. Nino, Tro, Staal- you can usually count on those guys to be in front, but not last night.
  • KK and Jarvis are both playing better than Svech right now.
  • Did Turbo make this road trip, because he's been MIA for a couple games now. 

But look, a west coast swing with a possible 8 points on the line thus far and the Canes have 7. I was thinking 8 points would be a good trip, but between Seattle and Philly, I can see 9.

23 shots and 23 blocked shots. Defense have started selling out to block everything we throw and help their goalies. We really should have tried to move to the close game, and should in general in the future until we can open up our lanes again. Also only 39% on the face offs. That’s abysmal.

Yeah, I didn't even mention the faceoff circle. Terrible on the draws, and this wasn't a game that saw a lot of icing calls, so it's not like we didn't have the preferred guy taking the draw.

But, imagine this- the Canes are 14-2-1 and we're bitching about their performance. Any other team makes this road trip and they'd feel lucky to get 6 of the 12 points available.

Ya, the toughest part too is we have an identical road trip coming up in early December, through Canada and Minnesota. We better be on point for that one with 4 very good teams + Vancouver. 
 

I think the worst part about last night though wasn’t the loss but the fact the capitals gained a point on us in their same western states road trip.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
