Just a reminder what we heard this morning.

Tkachuk: "If you can't get up for these games, there's something wrong. Our whole team is so ready for this one."

Ward: "In a rivalry game, I think the energy manifests itself."

WHOOPS!

Bennett needs a change of scenery out of the game.

Ward is telling the team to triple their dump in efforts.

Playing like the young guns again. Chasing around the ice.

#### this team sometimes. Jesus Christ are we trying to lose this game.

We still don’t have a decent looking defensive system.

Did Valimaki play a shift after the first goal?

5-1 in penalties

I agree with this. I think Ward is giving Bennett his wish and now is going to be able to say “see?”.

Bennett may not be doing a lot but better than bringing negative value so far. Gio and Nordstrom penalties were completely inexcusable and are the reason we are behind now.

This team is just not very good. Effort or no effort. Middling team at best.

Amd if there was any acciuntabiliry on our team he would have his minutes cut. But he won't because Ward has no idea what he is doing. Lucic v. McDavid line matching?

This is jo longer about Ward helping the team win. It's about him pushing them to lose. He is so I'm over his head.

Well at least Calgary is dressed like it's 2000, because they're playing like it too

and coach. U gotta do something
It’s just not working this way
Gio is still reliable 3-5 d man..
Who would you give the c to instead?
The fact there is no obvious successor speaks volumes

I keep thinking this, then I remember that Gulutzan was a conscious choice

Yet I'm sure the media will be too p**** to bring that up post-game or it'll be the same old "We gotta play a full 60" garbage they've been spouting the last 2+ years
