We'd probably have a better chance at scoring having Valimaki Fox throw hartley style volume stretch passes to Dube, Ruzicka and Phillips than what we're watching. Our "chop at the puck for 60 minutes" offense inspires zero confidence.

It's so predictable how this team starts seasons. Lacklustre preseason followed by looking lost to start the real season. How is this never fixed?

Its the coachs job to make them ready. Maybe instead of doing puck retrival drills all preaseason he should take a more traditional approach and skate the lines together in his "system"

I'm sorry but Versteeg shouldn't be a staple on the 3rd line either, how Janko isn't on this ucking team is beyond me. Johnny has been absolutely invisible, what the #### happened to him

I don't understand why they are collapsed so low defensively in the zone. Makes it look like Jets are on a PP all the time and they are taking advantage.

I know it's only two games, but f*** me Gulutzan just did not have this team ready to go. Same exact **** as last year.

That 1st rounder must be looking pretty good right about now to Isles fans

At least Hartley made his players use the middle of the ice. The Jets know all the pucks are going up the boards and are just waiting for it.

Well that was a sucky period. Mike Smith must be wishing he stayed in Arizona.

So we are blaming the coach again while the teams so called stars are floating around and doing nothing?
