It would be real cool if Mangiapane would stop trying that stupid toe drag in traffic 4 times a game.

I'd also love to split Toffoli and Huberdeau up. It's not working and it's not going to work.

Kadri blows. V3 of brouwer/neal.

Coaching sucks. They’ve got a pathetic special teams and have their best players on the bench instead of helping them win games.

Markstrom was good!

Liked the Zadorov hits.

Counterpoint - he doesn’t really generate anything 5 on 5.

But yeah, he should be playing more.

Darryl, you start Backs, Andersson and Phillips in OT for fun. We win. And you look like a genius.

PP1 is an effing disaster when it counts. 5 mins left in the 3rd and you get a chance to break the tie and you put that crap effort out..

I guess the positive is they got 2 points on a Tor/Mtl swing. Kind of what you'd expect. Annoying thing is they had 3rd period leads against both.

Just can't seem to get anything going this season. And hopefully they can figure it out because with this level of underperformance from over half your roster. Some of whom are very highly paid. There's not a lot of options to pivot.

Contenders aren’t always contenders from Game 1 to Game 82.

Things take time. There’s a lot of that to go.

To be honest if they do make the playoffs I'd rather them start on the road anyways. I know their road record kinda stinks right now but come playoff time I like their chances better.

I’m thinking…

Huberdeau - Horvat - Lindholm
Dube - Kadri - Mangiapane
Ruzicka - Backlund - Coleman
Lewis - Zohorna - Phillips

Markstrom is back. Be excited about that.
Gutsy point without Lindy, Taney and Weegs. Marky LOOKED FANTASTIC!

Enjoyed Matty Phillips on PP2. One off the crossbar! Looked like an NHLer.

Taney is his suit and tie post game. Thank goodness he turned his head.

Put Phillips with Huberdeau for a few shifts. What's the worst that can happen? He won't be worse than Toffoli.

Look, I’m no expert. But I doubt playing Trevor Lewis 16 minutes is gonna win you hockey games

If you are striving for just a playoff spot with this roster well you probably lost thr battle already.

They have no chemistry and the coaching as been poor.

Team just doesn't have it.
