Oh do not worry, there is lots of time left for that

Right back down to earth

Even a #### team that can’t score 5 on 5 should be able to put together a reasonably successful penalty kill.

But

They are having fun now and uberdough is forlorn and we are going to get a higher draft pick right? Perhaps a first, perhaps someone as good as Yakupov

Do a time out Huska. Offer everyone a gin and tell them to take a shower. At this rate there will be no more fans in the dome before ASB

The last game was like watching paint dry. This one looks like watching a toilet leak.

[Goriders]

I’m going to through this out there.

Send all of the flames forwards down to the wranglers and bring all of the wranglers forwards up.

That’s my idea. It’s bred out of sheer desperation.

lol weren’t you screaming to add a week ago?

Said it the other day. If you are going to lose - lose to the bad teams - the ones you are competing with for high draft picks. Wins against good teams can then just be nice events that happen.

Tear it down?

A plugged toilet that’s leaking and overflowing.

Agreed.

They can change all the lines they want, this is not a line problem.

This is a roster problem, as in lack of talent.

Which is why they need high draft picks in an attempt to obtain that elite talent.

Although I can’t believe the forwards are this bad, they will eventually start to score a bit more. Won’t they?

It’s a bad idea for so many reasons.

You’d think so. It seems impossible that every single forward can produce so much less than last season.

You posted this yesterday I think:

They are falling into a pattern:

- good start. Lots of chances. Zero goals.
- take a penalty. Lose all momentum. Get behind by one or two.
- make a push in the third period but too little too late.

The positives:
- they compete hard every game
- they seem to care
- goaltending
- defence has improved a lot
- youngsters are getting better every game
- pp and pk are getting better

Negatives:
- they can’t score goals to save their lives
- the top end of our salary structure provides zero offense

Hit it right on the head. Although goaltending problematic tonight.

The answer might be no. They can’t even score on open nets anymore.

Rolling over against a very bad team. Not great.
