Horrible way to lose.

It’s what happens when they can’t clear a puck. This ain’t on Koochie. Canes got real lazy and got flat out beat in their end. 

All night long.

As I said 2 months ago, this is a .500 hockey team, and it has been since Thanksgiving.

Did a re watch of the highlights. Some takeaways. Koochie play well the whole game minus that last goal. Orlov and Burns are definitely on their last year as a cane. fug Orlovs plus minus.  His defense is so bad at times. Yesterday was one of them.  Burns is burnt. That was his worse game as a cane. Don’t care if he had a point. 5 bad turnovers and consistently lazy clears and bad defense. Aho is angry….angry aho is about to make some noise.  Necas played well, minus when he froze in front of Vasy.  Ty smith is a waste of a roster spot.  Svech failed to clear on that last goal that lead to the lightning leading. In fact the whole team took a dirt nap in those 30 seconds after dominating the 3rd. 
 

canes played a tough game. They just can’t finish with the players on the roster. 
 

blake is going to be a stud. He is flying around.  
 

I personally think it’s going to come down to the last 5 games to determine if they make the playoffs. 500 hockey will be close. This team great then poor.

I think it's time to give the young blood ice time on D.... we all knew this was a rebuilding year of sorts even if we do make the playoffs..

Bring up Marrow 

 

Next year our D core will be much different

I wanna see Suzuki on the fourth line and Morrow with Walker. Both have had two hat tricks in the last month with the wolves. It’s time to bring them up. I’m with you.

Think so? The only UFAs on the blue line are Orlov and Burns. And I'd bet the team will allow both to decide whether they stay or go. Burns may retire or not, and I think Orlov is well-liked by RBA. 

Nikishin may be on board with Morrow at camp. Otherwise, everyone else has a contract. Ty Smith is an RFA, but he's headed back to Chicago soon.

I'll bet Burns gives it 1 more year.

Nikishin expected to sign at the end of SKAs playoff run....also he had a hat trick today.

So he may replace Orlov, should Orlov go FA looking for another team. 

Gostisbehere moves up to the second pair with Chatty, and Nikishin and Walker are the third pair.
