Anyone know if Staal was injured these playoffs? I hope so. If that is how he will be in the future, he needs to be 4th center.

I think since the coaches seem to want to keep a WR as a punt returner, if we landed Hopkins, then Chark and Laviska would be battling it out for a spot.

Just saw that Barbashev has had 29 points in 37 games. He was one of the ones I wanted.

Yeah we need to adjust our philosophy a little. Im tired of this pussified hockey where we take it but dont dish it. Other teams are not afraid of dishing it either because we arent hurting them with our powerplay. Fix the powerplay and get more physicality on this team.

Nah Im not happy about the season. We didnt exceed expectations. We were supposed to win the Cup. We all knew this for over a year. Waddell not helping the team out at the TDL sunk us. Bottom line. We have had 4 years of prior evidence of what happens to us in the playoffs. We run into a series where we cant score and the other team is more physical than us and not afraid to be because we cant score on the powerplay and we may lose 1 or 2 more guys because of it. Then we exit. Yet we did nothing to help the team and it happened again.

Yes Rod has to fire Daniels. We are also at the point of Rod`s career where he cant be clingy to certain players and realize where we have to make moves at.

All year we knew we needed someone to help on the powerplay at least. Not doing anything, I knew our chances of winning it all had plummeted.

fuging finally

Im tired of watching pussified hockey. We always run into a team that is more gritty, more physical than us with a good to great goalie and then exit out of the playoffs. Teams are like that with us because we will take it with no retaliation and will do nothing on the powerplay anyway.

that was a great opportunity to run right into Bob and hurt him

Matthew is down on the ice!!! We should get a power play now!!!!

Rules committee needs to change that. Its so fuging dumb.

Ok so you can knock a teams player out behind the net and hurt him and make them get a delay of game for the player laying on the ice hurt. What a fuging dumbass rule.

I dont understand how you can take a player out like that and then that team gets penalized for it.

Ok why TF is Florida on the powerplay?

I want us to rip some heads off! I want blood!

I want to kick that kid with the sign across the ice.

Bob has made history, but it would be nice to make our own and go on a streak to win it all.

I think Rod`s coaching is fine. We just need more clutch guys that are a threat whenever they get the puck. They dont have to be good at anything else as long as they can help us to stop hitting posts and start knocking in goals. Especially on the powerplay. Which, btw whoever is in charge of that should be fired in the offseason.

so did everyone just get murdered on kickoffs last year?

What does this have to do with anything right now? We were doing what we were supposed to, but now the same poo has popped up again. Goal scorers not putting the puck in the net and hitting posts. Well of course. That would mean we arent hitting posts and actually scoring. That is the problem! Another thing, our first two matchups were favorable for us. If we faced the Rangers, I dont like our chances with Igor and the rest of that goon team. I feel like we wouldve been put out of our misery sooner. Our pp is terrible and they would punish us for not being about to capitalize taking more penalties without fear of us scoring. You can say this series couldve gone either way, but the reality is that is hasnt. We need more clutch guys because right now we dont have enough. Even when healthy.

But he still has to count towards the 53. I dont see how this helps that much.

I dont understand how you cant take shots at the front office for not helping the team out when we had the chance after we have known time and time again our goal scorers go silent at some point in the playoffs and someone always hurts one or more of our guys because we arent gritty enough and just take it. I dont see how Waddell thought going into the playoffs with mostly the same guys that anything was going to change. Yes the pp coach needs to pack his bags and yes we need to get more clutch players on this team. We dont have enough of them.
