Listening to the post-game, and holy poo!

Has Rod ever said, "this one's on me."

When asked about composure, he threw Staal and Martinook under the bus. "Those 2 can't be your best players."

Disregarding that he didnt answer the question, does he realize how that sounds to professional athletes?

When asked how you prepare for game 4, "I'm not even thinking about that."

Clearly, Rod.

I was still defending him last year, albeit with the caveit in the back of my mind that if it happens again I'd withdraw myself from being invested in this team. 

 

Its not defensible at this point.... Rods entire gimmick is high effort forececk cycle cycle take random low danger shot rinse repeat....  as soon as you play a team with the size and skill to break out of the canes high pressure you get sh*tcanned. 

 

He doesnt adapt EVER its always the same 0-12 ECF and all of the second round losses we've suffered look the same as those finals. Then you get rod on the podium looking completly befuddled with zero answers and just saying "we've got to play better I've got no idea what's going on"

Yeah i mean why is it they are your best players? Why do our top guys suddenly disappear over and over and over again? Time to look in the mirror.

I mean a few factors but the design of the offense has more to do with it than anything else IMO.  Rod doesnt have any kind of creation going shot wise its all forecheck cycle shoot low danger look for tips and put ins.

Is that throwing them under bus or rest of team? He is saying those two were our best players and that can’t be the case if we are going to win.

It's both somehow. He was trying to say the rest of the team sucks. But, when you say certain guys can't be your best players, you are by default saying those players aren't good enough either.

Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice.

Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses.

We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it. 

We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet.

This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice. 

I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit. 

Who's Back:   


Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27)

Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow

Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy

Potential:

Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap??

Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank

Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly??

tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
