Jokinen is a terrible hockey player and this team still suffers from the same issues that have plagued it since the lockout. the more things change, the more they stay the same

So this is what happens when Kipper doesnt stand on his head.
Bouwmeester has been awful over the last stretch.
Exactly. They could have easily won tonight had Kipper made some of his far too often seen amazing saves but as a team you can't rely on having those saves every night.
So how about that? Iggy puts the team on his back (well, tries to), and no one really follows suit. Tons of offensive chances in the third period, with nothing doing.
Nashville probably had 6 scoring chances and scored on 4 of them. Most of the defense had a pretty bad game, Bouwmeester and Giordano the main culprits.

I hate to pile on but the hell is up with that sad sack Jokinen? Awful game from him. How many giveaways did he have?
And then the missed chance. Standing there like a freaking pylon watching the captain break his freaking back to get him the puck and he acts surprised and flubs. WAKE UP
Oh and Kiprusoff can't be god like every game, the guy needs to REST for fack sake! That pisses me off to no end not having a valid backup, stupid beyond words.
All i want for xmas is:
- a first line player to play on the first line (other than iggy).
- Bouwmeester, you were apparently under the radar for what you could do in Florida. The first half of this season, and I gotta say, ya he's good defensively, but what exactly does he bring to this team?
This is the same choking team we've seen the past several years. Look great for flashes, and then try to coast into the playoffs.
The deeper we get into the season, the more we see this team take form, the more questionable the core of this team truly is.
you're right, he's been an effective contributor, and worth every penny of his salary.
this team is lazy, complacent, and if they weren't wearing the flaming C i would hate them. but they're my team, for better or worse, and i still love them. but i dont like them. if that makes sense.
