Chatty and Orlov with the only defense on the ice. NOT. CANES. HOCKEY. 
 

Also I find it hard to see us taking Lemieux off the ice. I think if Svech is having issues still after Toronto, Rod needs to sit him for a game or two. KK or Drury is the other question. I think Drury. If we got dinged up forwards I think we need to continue playing Lemieux on rotation. 

Svech at the bottom again. Also, is it concerning this is the third game in a row that Kuzy is at the bottom of the list?

Yeah Brett Pesce laying down for 30 seconds when the Caps scored their last goal, might be the cherry on top. I have been down on Brett this entire year, but that was ridiculous, if your injured get off the ice, laying down gave the opposition an advantage. I don’t care if we replace Pesce with Tony from here on out, we should bench Pesce and call up Coughlin.

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.

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.

As much of a shooting run Jarvis has been on I question not giving him a go in the shootout 

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.

Well, I have seen Jarvis skimp one knee at a time to get off the ice, and we still got to many men on the ice penalty. Pesce went down almost net front, making it incredibly difficult to defend. Also, you can’t rely on the refs for anything in that game, they were slashing almost everyone and getting away with it.

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. 

Refs didn't say anything because the guy was hitting Coochies glove after the whistle

    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
    • Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
