Why didn't Mangi get a free pass to the net?

Based on this game I would trade Tkachuk and Gaudreau and make Mangiapane captain, give him a 8 year contract, and my vote in tomorrow’s election.

I'm actually not seeing a problem with the effort. Lots of shots on goal, just no finish and weird bounces the other way.

Agreed. He's missing far far too much and is behind on the play. Stuck with him in seems for the late games.

Then they should be dominant. They’re in their physical peaks.

If they’re not running teams out of the rink, it’s because they aren’t good enough.

This isn’t going to get better as we have have less and less money to fill out the roster.

Haven't been watching but comments like needing more from big guns tells me nothing has changed from last year. Its what happens with a stubborn and horrible GM unwilling to make any changes.

All of them, Cuthbert included, should listen to how John Bartlett calls the game and do that.

You enjoy the weird singing thing he does?

I do not.

It's a lot like Leah Hextall. I want them to be good, and I want them to get the chance to get good, because it would be nice if all our commentators weren't basically the same... But they're just not good. They both have the same problem: sounding like they're trying really, really hard to convince you that they're hockey commentators. "This is a thing a real life hockey commentator might say" is the entire vibe here.

So really it’s only a one goal game because Smith is absolutely going to give us one tonight.

The effort is there. They do care.

They don’t have the horses.

But we’ve known this for three years, and 40 minutes of the usual season-opening dreck against the Oilers doesn’t change that.

Against Smith it's bound to pay off eventually.

Oh, I’m not saying they’re good enough. I was just talking money. They are clearly not a top tier top six in the league.

Zadorov is a terrible defenseman.

It’s not weird it’s charming. Haven’t you ever heard a Spanish language goal call?
