Jaimito Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 1 minute ago, Rip The Mesh said: To be honest, I wish they were getting on a plane and playing again in two days from now. It's what they're use to, it's how, for the most part, they're a top team. The idea of no competition for another elongated time is worrisome. Y, thought this was a trap game. Up to the coaches and the leaders to get ready. Some players can use more practice. More time for Soucy to get ready. That 7 game road trip is gonna be tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 PP sitting at 16% last 15 games. OUCH. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 The fact our third line got as little time on ice as they did was a big reason we lost this game. Tocchet has been a good coach but when he needs to adjust he's stuck in the stone ages. Can't believe there was no adjustment going into the 2nd. Absolute ass games from Miller, Boeser, 4 out of 6 of our defensemen and our entire top 6 aside from Petey. It's time we blend up that top 6 because it's been absolute dogshit for a month now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it funny that time-outs aren’t used more often. It feels like they aren’t ever used but I would just use them to rest my players or tell them to pick it up when needed. Use them if you have them. I understand a lot of coaches keep them for the end of the game in case they are down and want to set up a play but a majority of the time they aren’t even used. After that first goal would have been a good time to use one to tell them to wake up. 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFAN Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 33 minutes ago, Dumb Nuck said: Philly is the hottest team in the league since mid November, we’ve had points in our last 9 games. Fine, we had a stinker but what I really loved was the anger on the bench when we gave up the shorty, this team cares, has heart and has skill, we’ve been missing 2/3 of these for a long time. Don’t care about the loss, don’t care about the series, I love what I’m seeing and finally enjoying hockey again. I agree with you, but Philly ain't that good. If we can't beat them, either are we.

That's the problem and reality. Gotta close that door mentally, get together, raise the standard. No excuses. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played on national worthy teams for soccer (indoor and out) and I can tell you first hand how impactful timeouts can be. If you're playing like shit and you get called out on it, you pick it up immediately and suddenly you have legs again. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Lost the special teams battles plain and simple. Kill the penalties, score once on the powerplay, and don’t allow a shorty and it’s a 2-2 game. Our difference makers weren’t difference makers tonight. Only guys that were were the guys that have brought it all season long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
