Ghost and Pool suck

I had hoped for more goals from Ghost, but he has played some good defense at least at times. 

Honestly ghost has been fine in my opinion. A lot of our issues both offensively and defensively rests on the forwards. On the goal scoring front, I like what I’ve seen from the forwards the past few games late. It’s not like they aren’t going shots on goal either, which was a huge issue before, they just can’t find the net. That’s bad puck luck.

Last night we were screwed by the refs on the net front penalty, there was no way that was a penalty. Don’t know if that is reviewable but if so Rod should have challenged. What we need for our forward coaching to be more willing to adapt. I get the “play our game” mantra. As it usually works and our game can be lethal. But when it isn’t you can’t just keep telling the guys to play our game. I’m not as negative about the playoffs as most around here.

Our team understands it’s a reset of the season. That said missing svech is going to hurt. A lot. During the bubble playoffs we were owning Boston until we lost svech to that dirty play/rut in the ice.

We need to focus on winning the last two. Right now, it’s Florida, Pittsburg or the Rangers for us in the first. The team needs to show up tonight and give some emotion back to this fan base.

Also, I fully expect brand new PP lines in the playoffs/Florida. If we don’t it would be mental on the coaches part. 
 

Id like to see Skjei with Aho, Necas, Noesen, TT.

Ghost, Burns, Drury, Staal, Jarvis. 
 

Though it you need another cycler on the second line swap TT and Drury. Our biggest PP issues has again been passing. We need to cycle the puck better or try a completely different PP approach, but a little late for that.

yes, Pool Party looks like a clumsy oaf out there, he should throw his body around a lot more - it's the only asset he has

Ghost is ok, I'm amazed a how far down Pesce game has gotten

and last thing - does this team lead the league in missing the net, often with gaping holes

The have too. Honestly though. It’s a microcosm of our inability to actually score.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
