CBH D & F’s are smallish and easy to push off the puck and other team’s can lock themselves in front of Corey. Additionally, entries and puck movement on the PP, our guys are to stationary once in the zone and need to get other team PK’rs moving confused and tired out.
November 8, 2018 at 7:53 pm #9825Alan ParsonsParticipantDavidson, Rutta and Gustafsson can be fired into the sun any day now. If Q has to go, then those three guys have GOT to go. Terrible. Just terrible.
November 8, 2018 at 7:58 pm #9826Alan ParsonsParticipantAnd it is 2-0 Canes. And the defense sucks. And Crawford doesnt have a chance.
November 8, 2018 at 7:58 pm #9827Alan ParsonsParticipantMeet the new boss, same as the old boss.
November 8, 2018 at 8:08 pm #9828Alan ParsonsParticipantGus on the ice again for a goal against. It was Jokers side and he was out of gas and out of position. Not a good start. 3-0 Canes. Not…not good.
November 8, 2018 at 8:16 pm #9829Alan ParsonsParticipantSo, that happened. One period down. 66 games to go. Yikes. Good thing I have legal weed here.
November 8, 2018 at 8:23 pm #9830Jeff OsbornKeymasterNovember 8, 2018 at 8:27 pm #9831Chico MakiParticipantThis is just a bad roster. Q was not the problem.
The bottom 6 has to be one of the worst in the nhl.
The blue line has 2 maybe 3 nhl quality players.
And that’s on Bowman.
November 8, 2018 at 8:37 pm #9833Alan ParsonsParticipantTo be fair… TO BE FAIR! Q was definitely part of the problem. But he wasnt the main problem. I get why they decided to fire him, but…the defensive players are hot garbage. The PP and PK have been garbage for years. Thats coaching. And his lineups were mindboggling at times.
But 4-0 Canes…Oh dear lord make the burning stop! Crawford is fucking PISSED tonight. He just chucked his stick. He isnt happy.
November 8, 2018 at 8:41 pm #9834Alan ParsonsParticipantAnd to be fair, TO BE FAIR! Darling is playing really well tonight. But 4-1 and Kane gets one back. Well done.
November 8, 2018 at 8:42 pm #9835Alan ParsonsParticipantIf TVR scores, Im gonna lose my shit.
November 8, 2018 at 8:43 pm #9836Chico MakiParticipantQ plays the guys he’s given. And what he’s been given is hot garbage.
November 8, 2018 at 8:49 pm #9837Alan ParsonsParticipantagreed. But the PP has been shitty with Toews, Kane, Saad, Schmaltz, Keith, Seabrook for years. Even when Panarin was slamming in one-timers, if they didnt score on one, they were not scoring. Panarin’s one timer was amazing but also was extremely predictable. Meh. They needed change in some capacity.
November 8, 2018 at 8:50 pm #9838Alan ParsonsParticipantSaad. Dancefloor. 4-2. Maybe they can come from behind and beat Scotty Darling, Lemont Native, and the lowly Canes.
November 8, 2018 at 8:51 pm #9839Alan ParsonsParticipant4-0 is the most dangerous lead in hockey.
November 8, 2018 at 8:52 pm #9840Alan ParsonsParticipantJacob Slavin’s nickname has got to be Cliff.
November 8, 2018 at 9:37 pm #9841Alan ParsonsParticipantThis team is like watching your best friend have a heart attack and then when the defibrillator kicks in they pop right up and are ready to pound some beers.
November 9, 2018 at 6:12 am #9854Alan ParsonsParticipantInconsistency on Defense is maddening. Davidson was awful early in the game. They all were awful. Then by the latter half of the 2nd and the 3rd period they played pretty good on defense for the most part. Davidson had some nice plays late in the game. But Rutta and Gus need to be shot into the sun. Ive been a Gus apologist for a while, but no more. The guy just cant be out there unless he is playing forward.

Maybe the PP has been shitty because there’s only been one true goal scorer–Kane.Toews, at least in the past, was good at parking in front of the net. Same with Saad. Recently, the last couple years, neither has the will to go to the front of the net.Keith, on the PP, is more of a passer, his shot, when he hits the net, is more designed for rebounds.Seabrook has a big shot, but he’s slow and cant maneuver to a get a free shot.Too often this PP passes around the perimeter looking for the “pretty goal”, rather than crashing the net for dirty goals. -
