With Andy in tonight we win. Our record was fantastic in the first game of btb’s so I don’t understand why they chose to switch it up today. If our opponent was a much weaker team than tomorrow I get it, but it’s the same team.

I just clued into why Matthews looked half asleep. Turkey hangover, American thanksgiving. Then again maybe he has Taco's. Now i'm confused....

Yeah wait till you see how he performs on May 6th....

Keefe has done almost everything the opposite of Babcock to win the players over

Think honestly they wanted to give Hutch one last chance and see. Don't think it really matters which game it was. He needed to play outstanding and give us a chance to win it and well that didn't really happen. I'm expecting a move here and pretty fast.

It’s imperative that they get a backup immediately. We have another btb this week. Can you imagine if Andersen gets injured?

Yeah for sure. They’re learning a new system so some ugly plays will most likely happen so it would be nice if our goalies could bail us out until we get comfortable.

Hutch needs to be put in a cannon and shot to the moon.

Bring back kouskos.

Babcock would bench him.

Keefe will take him out for underage puck-bunnies in a motel room hot chocolate.

Missed the game

Saw that Johnsson and Matthews were -3 and Melander was -4!

Wow, what happened?

- mr.sir


Matthews is responsible for the -'s on that entire line. Unfortunately I am not kidding.

This game was not on Nylander.

Hutchinson cant stop a beach ball. Matthews wasn't even AHL quality. It was a new low, even for him. He was better 3 years ago, a LOT better.

Nylander was TERRIBLE tonight.

Every shot, wide.

He NEVER engages physically. Loses every battle. Also, he’s a play killer. He always makes some bonehead pass when they gain the zone.

Matthews was a +10 going into today’s game. Best on the team. WTF is it with you and this player? You’ve been like this pretty much since he entered the league.

- shack67

For sure he was having a weird game though. Showing a number of times that he is one of the best in the game, but also having, imho, his worst game ever when it comes to careless passes and just playing a low hockey-IQ game. He was responsible for at least 2 goals against imo.

Yeah he had a bad game, no argument there. It’s the irrational dislike for our best players by our “fans” that confuses me.
I’ve seen Crosby, McDavid, and Ovi have some real stinkers and I’m pretty sure their own fans don’t turn on them.
