Stop Being A Bitch Aho


Recommended Posts

We're finding what happens when you have a team TOO encouraged to play selflessly and together. Nobody wants to big dog the game when you need it, except for Svech in spots.

 

We need somebody to step up and decide "yeah I'm just gonna take this entire shift over" occasionally. I love that the boys are all role playing and doing their individual jobs for each other's success, but goddamn somebody pick spots to be selfish. We need to create lanes to abuse.

 

What did Florida do? They leaked a man streaking in high slot and had great scoring chances repeatedly. They literally flipped out strategy and found the weakness if you aren't taking pucks away at the blue line on entry, you don't have numbers to cover high slot.

Yet even with all that if it wasn't for 3 turnovers by a rookie and an uncharacteristic Staal turnover. They only score 1-2 goals and that game goes into OT.

Oh I know, but the first period and a half showed us the glaring issue schematically. They executed more consistently because they didn't have the issues in their depth that we did. Fourth line couldn't matchup well, bottom pair was atrocious. Need to do some half switches with the second and third lines. Staal line steals an extra 5 minutes per game and maybe we can mitigate it?

I think ghost was serviceable. He kinda got fuged over by having a turnstile on the right side.

Ghost definitely made the most of a bad situation. He can't be everywhere at once

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • 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
