Around the League Report

Spoiler!

When Basement Rats Attack

Hesitant to say this will be an easy one, but it should.

This should be a win knock on wood, but these lines are still so confusing what are we doing

I think Calgary has objectively been the worst team in the league this season so far.

Let’s see what happens

Going up against a bad team. Let's get back in the win column.

Trap game

Coaching against ChatGPT

Team had won 6 of 8 and completely blew up their line combinations and benched one of the offensive playmakers. I like Dean but this seems very much like the bad days of the Tortorella tenure.

If we lose tonight to the worst team in the league because Evason thought it was a good idea to blow up our lines in the midst of a winning streak I’ll be pretty upset.

The post from Portzline this morning was in summary “we don’t know what the lines will be, Johnson might be back on the top 6, Chinakhov might be back in - we were told TBD”

We had better not be running these #### ass lines again.
We looked awful last game, put Chinakhov in and scratch Jenner or ZAR.

If it’s working why change it for ZAR - going to save my anger for the next time this happens but man.. you don’t take apart an engine that is working

Listen, I’ve been saying over and over that Chinakov needs to earn his place in the lineup, and that he doesn’t make a lot of sense on the 4th line, but I really don’t know how you scratch him after he’s played well lately

Goddamn we better win with these ####ing lines. Dean has me scratching my head, wondering what the hell is he thinking. Chinny still out? KJ still 4th line? Boone still 2nd line? Only lines that make sense are arguably the third and for sure the first.

Late Start Shenanigans

I watched the pregame and they showed Jet taping his stick twice......
I got to hear about Jody playing with Jets knob twice.....

As a newer hockey fan… I hate how game times are so arbitrary… sometimes they’re on time and sometimes 20 minutes late. Seems weird to do all this pregame to delay the game, for an active player. Not even a retired player or anything :/

Jesus christ lets drop the puck here

We’re seriously going with two commercial breaks before the puck even drops? Do western teams purposely have their ceremonies be against eastern teams?

Delay of game 4 on 5 for the ceremony please

This delayed start is making me feel feisty. I’m about to drop the gloves!

Delay of game 4 on 5 for the ceremony please

Frosted Tips

Are we really going to do this tonight? Really???

Oh, so we're doing this then? Great.

Rough start

Well time for bed lol

Did they get too cold in Calgary while waiting for the puck drop?

Why is Provorov screening Jet there

Provorov let that guy get squatter rights in the paint.

It's too early in the game for this #### lmao

Calgary doesn’t deserve having AC/DC be their goal song

This team is so unlikeable compared to last year

I ask, if you're on a multi game winning streak, why change the lines?

Evason deserves to lose, f***ing idiot

Need one here quickly if we don't want to have a miserable night

It's hard to take the team seriously when they talk about competing hard yet look thoroughly outworked a great deal of the time

Double-Tapped off the Quickdraw

I literally walked from my car turned on the TV and there's 2 goals. wtf

How the #### are we down 2 goals? I didn't even get to turn the goddamm game on

Went to the bathroom during the anthem. Came out with 18 on the clock and we down two. Da hell?

It was 2-0 before we got our first shot off

I wasn't sure that I would be able to stay up for the entirety of this game, and now I feel less obligation to fight it. Yeesh

JESUS ####ING CHRIST. WAKE THE #### UP.

What the actual hell are they doing.

Can we stop tipping it in our own net?

Here's how I know we shouldn't be running these lines. We aren't 5 minutes into the game and are down multiple goals to Calgary of all teams.

Boone gives it away right in front of the net

I’m having a bad time

You’ve got to be kidding me

Our d men score a lot both ways

90 seconds in and I’m already miserable

Blue jackets and their bitter rival the first and last minute of the game.

Boone with a lazy backhand attempted clear to set that up. What the #### are we doing.

Am I insane for disagreeing with Jody and thinking Jet managed to get up and reset?

Chinakhov benched 5 more games for this

Goodnight.

Holy sh*t...

Not ideal getting absolutely worked early in b2b games

Naz scores in #1000!

wtf was Zach doing there....

####ing what the hell

I'm turning this off before I become irrationally angry.

Stupid, stupid turnovers. Really need to clean up the passing.

If you’re gonna ####ing press up, be back or cover ####

Felt like tide was turning and then we give up that

Werenski out for his random skate paired with a stupid pass... man this team is a ####show

I'm surprised noone is yelling about the goalie not being able to make a big save when the team needs it

f***ing pathetic man. Stupid play after stupid play giving up odd man rushes for free. That one actually is one Greaves deserves some heat on, jesus man

All we're doing in the offensive zone is cycling on the walls and not really creating much. then having mistakes end up in our net. Just not looking like a very solid effort tonight so far

Defensive pinches are killing us again

Calling Olivier, you there man? Maybe want to throw a hit or actually get in on a forecheck?

May I remind you the Flames were the worst team in the league before this game

The Giant Scores Too!

We’re gonna get blown out by ####ing ChatGPT

Man, we ####ing suuuuuck

Sigh. I have…. Nothing. Jeez.

Being run off the ice by the worst team in the league. Will this team show any pushback in the third period or just go quietly into that good night?

Another 2 on 1. And here I thought we were going to stay on the defensive side of the puck.

Somebody call the lame as #### police

Hey, Dean. Maybe ####ing with the lines wasn't a great idea.

I think I gotta take a couple game break. Dont feel like putting myself through watching this garbage.

This is just terrible. How do you look so good for a week, then turn to absolute dog####?

Any time you can make the lowest scoring team in hockey look like the Avs I guess you have to do it.

Worst team in the league gonna dog walk this team

I feel it's fair to question their heart and effort after these two losses. Too often we have half the team dragging ass with a few standouts.

Skating has ceased with about 10 minutes to go

Im just ####ing going to bed

lol you expect us to stay up late after an almost 30 minute delay to pick drop and then this performance in the first 5 minutes

Not a soul came out ready to play

At least we can agree this is all Yegor Chinakhov’s fault

CBJ lady behind Dean is all of us tonight

Crazy how we go on a winning streak, then swap in a guy who shouldn’t be in the NHL for Chinakhov and all of a sudden have a less than two minute multi goal collapse, and don’t show up at all against the worst team in the league

180 No-Scoping the Empty Netter

Yeah let’s just chop at the puck recklessly

Other teams 6 on 5: dangerous
Us on 6 on 5: Empty netter.

We had a few good looks 6x5, to be frank. Vronk hit the crossbar

Not great dropping two straight in regulation to pretty ehhh teams.

Get well soon Mateychuk, we need it

Miles Wood is not a top six player, Dean

ZAR out, Chinakhov in

I’m gonna say what Jenner will say in the post game before he even says it

“Yeah, tough team, the goalie was good tonight, we gotta do better”

With absolutely no urgency at all

Why was I born in this ####ty state

I’m ready to start dooming. These are the easy opponents we need to beat to have a shot at playoffs. This team is last place in the NHL and had 1 win at home so far this year. This is inexcusable.

We had a 7-4 start and Dean decided to mess with the lines and ####ed it. Yes the 2nd line wasn’t doing great but now no lines are working and the team looks stuck.

This was the last place team in the NHL and we made them look like a good team. Horrible horrible horrible game.

May as well get our annual disastrous road trip out of the way early.

In march we’ll be saying “man this road trip sucked, if only…” same #### every year

At least every other loss has been worth watching (minus the avs) we didn't even look competitive tonight

Icing Jenner-Sillinger-Wood-Olivier Provy-Severson down by 3 with an empty net is naaaaasty work Dean.

Breaking news: team that couldn’t defend last year (either even strength or on the PK) largely runs it back with the same team (and exact same D core) and can’t defend a year later. Big shocker.
If Elvis and Jet weren’t playing as well as they have been this year we’d probably have the same amount of wins as Calgary.
This team stinks.
