This team would be doing much better if the lines were simply rolling. Seriously. Babcock is hindering this team.

Having a player on the team JUST to win faceoffs is a waste of a roster spot.

Bench management is hilarious. The paring on some of these players is laughable at best, the ice time others are seeing is just plain stupid.

Crosby and Nash for example have demonstrated 0 chemistry yet they are dead set on keeping them together despite the obvious.

This team has been coached out of a win in regulation tonight.

As soon as Nash gets a hat trick.

Pretty tough for a player to get into the team if he's benched or gets minimal icetime.

If getting goon minutes at the Olympics doesn't fire up Iggy when he gets back, nothing will.

Argh, anger increasing!! This is not the all-star game, enough with the pretty play and endless passing.

What was Doughty doing there? A spin-o-rama is not what that situation called for.

Great move by Doughty. Too bad he was benched in the 2nd. He could have been a difference maker.

Seriously, I think Babcock plays who he likes and benches everyone else.

How else would you explain stupid coaching decisions like this?

Hilarious that Getzlaf is still getting a regular shift in overtime.

For crying out loud. It's a 2-2 game in OT and the team's leading scorer hasn't been on the ice since the start of the 3rd period.

God damn it Nash is a useless sack of something. The only play he has is trying to run the goalie.
