Like i said this morning, he needs a quick start or it’s gonna be ugly. You are what your stats say, so I’m gonna assume, today, he gets his 30/30/60pts but a lot of you already hit the nail on the head…we haven’t seen that guy bar the first week or so. You’re making $8mil/yr…60 points is the least you could do.

With Lee, on top of what I mentioned earlier, he wasn’t winning battles on the boards, he could barely complete a pass, some of his shots were woefully inaccurate…just a poopshow of a month for him.

Yeah Lee was incredibly bad this series and leading up to the playoffs. I like Lee. I have always thought he was a good captain but he was undeniably horrible. In the third period people in my section were booing Horvat every time he touched the puck. I wasn’t but I honestly couldn’t blame them. He earned it.

Sophomore slump. He’s gonna be legit, they just gave him too much responsibility. I still don’t get why Pulock wasn’t out there on the PP to keep it simple and get pucks on net.

Putting pucks on net isn't one of his strengths. He couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

See what deals you can work out with Buffalo, Arizona and the Ducks.

Why would Buffalo take any of our cast offs? They're going to be better than us next year.

I was waiting to see something...anything from him. OK, he's not scoring, but how about winning some one-on-one battles? Nope. Creating space for his teammates? Nope. Finding space for himself? Nope. Cripes, he couldn't even receive passes most of the time. But those faceoffs, man. Those faceoffs.

Agreed. He's had 30 games with his new team but seemed lost. Barzal is obviously not 100% but they need to find who works with Bo for next season 'cos we got him for 7 years.

It was also not hard to notice Pelech having probably the worst game I've ever seen him play. The OT giveaway / flubbed clearing attempt was just one of a dozen bad decisions he made last night.
