"Did we underachieve last night
- Just5[against Carolina]? No. We’re sitting there at 2-2 and we’re outshooting them 2-1 and outplaying them, out-chancing them. Dominating the game essentially. A little bit of a microcosm the way our year has gone so far.

"So last night we scored more goals. Why don't we score more goals? Tough question to answer. We're getting to the net, our net front presence is good. We're getting there for rebounds, we're doing a lot of the things we should do.

"There are some nights when it seems like it is puck luck. You can look at the whole year and say it’s puck luck. We’re focused again now on the stretch run and doing our part. We need a lot of help here but we’re focused on doing our part."


I know Hexy is trying to cover for his guys. But there's some real head scratchers in here. The whole year could be puck luck? The Carolina game a microcosm of the season?......whoa


I thought the same thing. It is concerning to say the least...

That's why I thought they lost the Devils game, just bad puck luck.

Yeah, outside of the 10 game streak, they are 23-30-8. Pretty sure that's not all due to bad luck.

I think you are right.
Bottom 5 in GAA
Two 8M players are combined -44 and have not performed to their level
Horrific PK
Inconsistent at best PP
Best and most consistent player has been 20 year old rookie ( thank god for him)
Highest payroll team not to make playoffs ( well I guess LA is there with them but I will give them a pass for 2 recent Cups)


It's not all bad luck

Don't you know anything??? The first 74 games are all based on luck, and then the talent kicks into gear for the last 8 games. We can also calculate and quantify luck, apparently.

If Colorado just had a little more luck, they'd be battling Washington for the President's Trophy.

Based on our normal daily activities, we were practically Jesus today.

I expect much more debauchery, personal attacks, arguments over AMac, "fans" chiming in with their uplifting anecdotes, and boob shots tomorrow (well, today).

Riley Cote would have to work at Jiffy Lube

Cote seems to be doing alright for himself judging by those pics of his family I saw on twitter last week.

He seems to be doing great, actually, and looks in better shape now than when he played.

Here is the key statement to pay attention to in that article.

"We probably haven’t created enough off the rush in the last few games,”

What I said wasn't a question. I also know what false narrative your were trying to peddle, making it a poor rhetorical question.
