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 gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different.
    • Ulcerative Colitis is not CTE. 
    • Last year Thielen had 615 yards in 10 games (had more ypg than his 1k season in 23).  XL had 497 in 16 games with tons of drops and Coker had 478 in 11. They also only had only 192 of our 518 targets to get those numbers. So if Thielen has 1,000 yards again, XL and Coker each improve to say 600 yards each, and T-Mac comes in at 800 yards, you're going to say that's not good enough?  Especially if he ends up with close to, if not getting to, double digit TD's like I think he will, as he's going to be a red zone monster for Bryce? Because if that's the breakdown of just the Top 4 and Bryce plays all 17 games, he's going to be pushing a 4,000 yard season as the TEs, RBs, and other WRs will probably add up to 750-1k yards as well, and I think that would be far more than anyone here could be expecting of him this season. Last year the Giants only had 2 players with more than 331 yards besides Nabers and they were 699 and 573 while Nabers "only" had 1,200 yards (granted in 15 games).  While the Jags second leading receiving was a TE with 411 yards and BTJ also "only" had 1,282 but in all 17 games. Odunze couldn't get there (734 in 17 games) with Moore and Allen there, just as McConkey was able to get there because his competition for targets was Quentin Johnson (711 yards), Josh Palmer (584), and Will Dissly (481) who I think Thielen, XL, and Coker are all better than any of them. If everyone stays healthy and XL/Coker have improved, I think Bryce is going to spread the ball around rather than focus on T-Mac in a way that most of the 1k rookies have been able to get. Again I point to MHJ and the Cardinals last year. They had 3,859 yards receiving.   McBride had 1,146, MHJ had 885, then their 3rd and 4th in rec yards were 548 and 414. Take the 146 and 85 that McBride/MHJ had over my example for our guys and give them to the other two and they get to 7 yards shy of the 600 I'm using for XL/Coker, while the rest of the team added up to 866 yards. So, if you expect T-Mac to get to 1k, where are you taking those yards from? if anything, XL and Coker each getting 600 yards seems like a low projection, so they wouldn't come from there. Maybe they come from Thielen now that we have T-Mac as the true #1.  But I think if anything, having T-Mac draw attention will just make it easier for Thielen to get open and him and Bryce have great chemistry already, he's not going to stop throwing his way if he can pick up easy chunks of yards there. So maybe they come from the RBs, TEs, other WRs, but it's I think a very fair example to show why expecting 1,000 yards if everyone stays healthy isn't necessarily fair to him. It's also why I said I'd then expect at least 1,200 yards in 2026, as once Thielen leave and all 3 of T-Mac/XL/Coker get better, they absorb that 1,000 yards Thielen leaves behind with T-Mac probably taking close to half of it and the other two splitting up the other half.
