Noel Fogelman: Powerless

Very nice use of Animal House and Star Wars Noel. Can someone create a Where's Waldo gif with Pulock?

Not only has the power play been failing, it's also allowing the opponent to score.

This sounds way too much like the Sabres...

5 shorties against already this year.

how we all feeling about eberles play? watched briefly in a game or two. looked ok, but the timing with jt looked abit off still

I can tell u that strome has been totally and completely ineffective in pretty much any capacity thus far. his defensive skills are superior to ebs I suppose, but it hasn't helped us in any tangible way and certainly hasn't made up for the loss of potential offence ebs can bring on any given shift.
even if ebs can often be a frustrating perimeter player

Eberle has been so-so. The same with JT and the entire line. I have no idea what happened to Strome. He was very strong on offense and D that first year and it has been all downhill since.

i think ebs has been great. If anyone has been dragging on that line its been JT thus far. Loving Eberle.

I dont think Pulock is answer for our PP. sure he may help but ive noticed he has hard time getting open enough to let the shot go.

i think probably with our PP is the way we just sit still and try to go to shot from point.
Perhaps moving around may help or trying to set guy in slot. An occasion wrister shot through screen couldnt hurt either.

I would love to find out one way or the other about Pulock. Pulock sitting all these games is not helping anyone. Lee is one of the few guys willing to pay the price. This team also does not have enough shooters.

Pulock might not be the answer, but after going 0 in 20 would it hurt to try?

super talented player.
he'll go cold for stretches and struggle and frustrate you, and then he'll go unconscious for a month and light it up. and hes always a threat.

lost favour in edm with a lot of fans, but not me. hes a small guy with great hands/ instincts that tends to play the perimeter abit too often. but its just his game and hasn't changed from the guy who once scored 76 and has averaged like 60 per 82gp over a career!

I understood the deal for cap savings. and was even cool with the offensive downgrade as long as he was even somewhat comparable. too early to call it, but thus far, wow. an incredibly ordinary 3rd liner

Exactly! We would not be breaking up an all-star team.

agree 100% on this. What are we waiting for? Weight acting if we protecting some undefeated record on season.


we have had defensive breakdown in first 6 games, what worry do they have on playing pulock?

100% right. Not just 0-20 but they’re also a -3 which is pathetic.
At what point does this coaching staff enter Pulock into the lineup and on the PP? There’s too much talent on this team to be 0-20

At what point does Weight stop imitating Crappy and utilize his own systems? Here I was expecting a new look PP, new defensive system, etc. The only thing I've seen is the same old crap that's been here for years.

So what do you say we do with him? Just let him rot in the seats? Have to change something having Bailey on the point of even on the PP at all is the dumbest (frank)ing idea at this stage he has personally destroyed multiple powerplay s

It's still Snow's team. Nothing will change until he's gone.

Sadly this really seems the case. We are still seeing young talent like Beau and Pulock sitting and the same type systems.

I too was stupidly expecting change. You are absolutely correct, Jimmy. And that won't happen until we get an owner with some stones.

Kopitar, the best player on LAK scored while our best player did not.

The PP has a lot to do with confidence, a lack of which leads to tentative play and mistakes.

Just like last year the same vets they acquired are not scoring.

Maybe he needs to watch more game tape or he hasn't attended the required number of meetings.

I hate seeing kids rotting in the stands. If they weren't going to play him then he should have started the year in Bridgeport.

The first line has been disappointing. Before the start of the season most of us were concerned with secondary scoring which has been fine.

Secondary scoring they've got some of. It's just primary scoring, PP scoring, defense, break outs & face offs that need to be worked on.

Sitting Pulock the first two games is one thing, but now it’s getting ridiculous. It’s no different than what Cappy was doing.

Isles Fans deserve better.


Snow should be fired and replaced by Donny LaGrecia immediately.
