Yeah but then you basically write off the 6.5M ticket. May as well buying him out if nobody wants him

[Ziggy Lidstrom]

This team ain’t going anywhere unless they learn how to defend Like those old king and Nashville teams. tBay cleans this teams clock handily. We just ain’t making Stanley cup overtures with this group. Sad but a part of pro sports. Just sucks when it’s your team and not the oilers. At least they have mc d and the Drai.

or we could give him more than 2 games after a major surgery

I don't blame Markstrom for letting in any of those goals. You can't let a guy have that much time and space on the 2nd one.

For this team to be successful Markstrom has to be better.

Fyp.

He did have hip surgery...fair to say it might take more than 2 games to get up to speed no?

Better luck next time I guess. Hope all the Polly Anna’s are proven right to be honest. But we miss the top of the draft and the playoffs for a second year with this group I feel.

Monahan did have a truncated pre-season, didn’t he? As the coach let him ease back after his surgery. It is early to throw in the towel on his season.

So much regression in this group. Luckily Johnny rebounded last year with a good season. Tachuck hasn’t had flip outs with this group? to suggest the psychology of the group is anything but cohesive or confident I think is fair game.

Bennett was an inigma.

Monahan was injured.

Tkachuk is highly competitive but needed to learn professionalism.

Gaudreau was awful, comparative to his actual best game, until the games didn’t matter.

Ouch. While Benny has a great first month and drives more of us to drink even more excessively. If that’s possible with this group

Maybe but pretty sure we hear some kind of excuses if he has another bad year

Ya. Hoping Monahan is not hurt. He took a shot from Kassian on Saturday.

He had hip surgery, didn't fake it...its not really an excuse when its true when talking about last season

question is can he get his game back with the new hip

They generated a ton of grade A chances tonight at 5v5.

It’s only two games but they’ve generated 3.28 xGF per 60 (1st) and 13.4 High danger chances per 60 (7th).

They keep generating chances like that and the goals will come. And to me this wasn’t like GG where it didn’t feel like they were actually dangerous, Flames were dangerous all night and clearly the better team.

Play the same way at 5v5, Fix the PK, and get a couple of big saves from Markstrom and they will be fine.

Learn professionalism? Care to elaborate?

And the gaudreau comment is hard to follow.

Bennet was an enigma? How ? He was developed to fail here. The team favoured the dynamic of monny and Johnny over a center who gave more physically than those two.

Monohan injured? When ? What time ? Which injury? He isn’t intense and he plays passively until he gets a gift wrapped chance from Johnny. Not a center for me. He was outclassed by MacKinnon I’m that series undeniably.

Man if only Colorado took our trade of monohan and Poitier and klimchuck for MacKinnon. We should have traded them even more. Sigh. Always the bridesmaid never the bride with this squad.
