The Rangers game is a must win, just for a morale boost. Very winnable game. We have a team that, I believe, can compete with just about any team in the league if they play to their potential. I think they gave full effort, just came up short.

As far as the weak shots from the point, ever since we lost Seidenberg, our point shots haven't been consistently great (unless Corvo takes them). Not that Seidenberg was a great D-man, but he had such a strong shot.

It's more than just weak shots, it's how the shots are being taken. Standing flat-footed 3 steps inside the blue line and trying to twist the wrist is not going to work 99.99% of the time. You need a moderate amount of power for a deflection to do what it's supposed to.

True. I'm sure it will come around though. Mo won't let those weak shots stick around for too much longer (I hope). He likes aggressive play, so he needs to preach aggressive shots on goal.

Yea, I think so too. Hopefully Francis will start emphasizing that on the Power Play too. And taking higher percentage shots.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
