Honest question, did you really expect them to go 4-0 last week ?

Unfortunately losing the Edmonton game and beating Detroit would have been a much more favourable outcome but I’d say it was a pretty good week of hockey all things considered.

They had dominated 7 straight periods of hockey until they decided to take the 2nd and 3rd period off on Saturday.

You are writing a lot of fluff to say they choked when it mattered.

The second half performance came with all-world goaltending and is barely playoff pace. Without UPL, they are not a good team right now. He's covering up a lot.

I think they've been better as a team lately but mostly agreed. There have been major flaws that needed to start being addressed last year and weren't.

Couple that with a poor offseason additions by the GM, mismanagement of the goalie position, questionable coaching, injuries and regression from the top scorers and here we are

Concerning stats from the 4-1 loss

JJ 11 min played when we need goals
Greenway over 20 min
1/2 of the team didn’t register a single hit in the game

Kracken are stingy. We need to come out of the gate ready to pressure and score

Cozens calling the team soft, along with Tage admitting the team hasn't accomplished anything indicates it's a combination of both IMO. Fixing the coach or a few players is not the solution this team needs, Byram will be measured after his first long off season. Nothing will be done until Adams and Meatballs extensions expire since Terry won't burn another penny on this franchise. It's an organizational structural failure that is being ignored, and until that is repaired the losing will continue.

Remember adams publicly calling out cozens for saying that even though the kid willingly took on a challenge in which he paid with a broken face for?

Remember that time the GM echoed cozens sentiment last year? So much so he traded for an AHL dman who got knocked out immediately in a fight then had little impact afterwards and couldn't make the roster this year?

Its amazing the poop show here

I think samuels and shakir are decent 3's and hollins is a decent 4th

sign obj to be that other wr that is a vet so the first round pick can be spent either on d line, o line or cough db cough

You were killing Krebs a minute ago. He was the key part of the return.

That trade has not aged well.

When we weren’t getting anything going 5 on 5 on Saturday there was an opportunity to mix up the forward lines and it didn’t happen.

Girgensons defensive acumen worked for a few games on the top line but he doesn’t have the offensive juice to pull Tage and Tuch when they weren’t having anything going.

Peterka has been our best left winger all season and there was a glorious opportunity to get him minutes and he got benched instead.

He moved Skinner back to line 1.. was his big move in-game

Tuch is good , put up almost a point per game last season

Eichel has been hurt, they probably have the same amount of points since the trade

Skinner can stay on the 3rd line. The last thing we need is another floater on the top line right now

Krebs blows, tuch is a very good nhl hockey player


Eichel not durable and traded while injured

If Ostlund is just a middle 6 guy and Krebs is a bottom 6 guy, then they got killed.

This brings up a good debate...
I agree that the team is mentally fragile, fails under pressure. Hell, the team referenced last year when they went through a 7 game losing string in March I believe it was.. "gripping their sticks too tight"

So, the question is, do you think this is something the players can work through and learn to succeed when pressure is applied? If so, does it require them to experience it once, twice, several times?
How does this impact future success in the PO's?

- IonSabres



I think this summer they need to bring in a captain from outside of the organization to hold the rest of the team accountable. I don't have faith in any of these players to be the leader they need when the going gets tough
