Harbingers

Omfg… they ran out of runway. That was a perfect setup between svech and Necas.

Hell of a tip by Lorentz on another Skjei rocket.

Wow, a kid was wearing a panthers hat. I am shocked.

They gave svech a boon earlier. They had to call him. It’s getting old, svech def wants to be more of an enforcer for us and they call him on everything and won’t let him fight as seen in previous games.

Oof skate to the face. I’m surprised he’s not getting some stitches. That was brutal for Patterson.

Nobody else in so far but it is Saturday afternoon. Just posting for posterities sake for those that want a recap later.

Tro had 3 first period PK breakaways too.

Svech and Necas with some really good Chemistry right there. I’d like to see more of that.

Aho with an absolute rocket. Holy poo.

Holy poo, did svech just got a call his way?!?

No Slavin and no Pesce for this kill. This is gonna be interesting.

Oh snap. We sat Bear after Thursday. Can’t say I’m disappointed. Bear really needs Slavin to excel.

Well Thursday was embarrassing as fug. Let’s not do that again. Go get the W Canes.

Is it the official end(story wise, not Amazon contract) or now do they just have to wait until the actors age twenty years, so they can catch up to the book content?

Ya I’m pretty perturbed the NHL didn’t make Philly play. They had a full lineup serviceable even with the 4 people they lost to the protocol that afternoon, according to the Philly GM. I still think there was some shifty business going on there, either with the NHL or the arena.

They’ll skate today. Tomorrow is a 1PM game.

I don’t Reddick resigns here. We probably try and sell Burns too.

Ya I don’t think it would have made a bit of difference. Our offense still would suck. It’s not like our defense was actually that great either.

With that too. I said it last night and I’ll say it again, we gotta switch Bear and TDA. Bear is just out of position too often against offenses that cheat up in the neutral zone. Smith is too slow to recover if he’s down ice a little bit. TDA would solve both those problems and Skjei can single high position better.

This is how a real coach talks.

This is how a real coach talks.

Oh well, we’ll bounce back Saturday. Not impressed with our new backup goal though. Probably first game jitters and our defense being poo but his positioning was not great he hardly squared up to anyone, though his low game was ok. I still think we should have rode Lyon until either Raanta is “better” or is offloaded.

By far not the worst we’ve played. We’ve played worse on some wins this season. We aren’t getting any bounces and Bear has gotten caught with his pants down too many times. Refs obviously are not calling a fair game. I’m assume there was some back room poo from us on the whole Philly debacle the league didn’t like. Philly used Covid as an excuse not to play us, after we were already in the air there. They already had the boards down for the basketball game.

TDA has got to be third line when we are down Slavin. This is the same poo that was happening when Pesce was out. 3-4th lines killing our third line defense.

This is what happens when you don’t have Slavin. Our defense is a mess. Seriously fugging with our point differential.
