Rest is needed. Schedule looks good going forward. Just tougher opponents which will be good for them heading into playoffs I think they're going to get worked in the playoffs no matter what, but ultimately that will be good for them. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3aL Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Not liking the way we played tonight overall. Petey always kicking his head back or down looking deflated after every mistake he makes is killing me. Mistakes happen... hustle hard to recover / make up for it. I also think his defensive play has been chaotic and inconsistent. And he's been a turnover machine in the offensive zone. He just seems mentally off. We need him to figure it out and be ready for the playoffs though. Boeser on the back check was brutal today. Loved the goal and his movement to soft spots in the offensive zone but his back check made me angry. Lindholm, I understand the transition period but we are gonna need more from him down the stretch here. Cole I thought he had one of his worst games of the year. Fiala got around him, by him and he lost track of his zone / assignments and lost more pick battles than I expect from him. Juulsen outside of the screen on the doughty goal I thought he was fine. Safe plays, pucks on net or deep, and big hits when he could. Hughes, I'm worried he is looking a little tired. He's been getting hit a lot more than usual, and playing lots of minutes. Hronek, the penalty he took right after scoring was brutal. Bad call or not it hurt us tonight and when he was with zadorov I didn't feel safe with them out together. Lotto line / line stack at end that everyone's called for looked terrible and we got scored on two times. I'm worried the all star game inflated our guys egos and didn't give them the rest / reset they needed. Hoping that down the stretch in march here they get enough rest and practice between games to get things going more consistently and to the high standard the coaching staff has worked hard to establish for our club. Because the staples look like they are slipping and I can't help but just think they look tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckfanforlife82 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I can’t imagine what else Tochett can say after this game. Probably lost for words. Soft comes to mind right now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s definitely a factor. Nice thing is we’re past the tough part of the schedule. Lots of home games. No back to backs. Oilers have it tough now. Check out their schedule during their win streak, it’s no coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DeNiro Posted March 1 Popular Post Share Posted March 1 I like Bains, kid seems to have a future in the NHL. That being said this is not the time to be experimenting with a raw rookie in a top 6 role. He’s not ready for this level or this amount of responsibility. Call up Karlsson or Podz and put them in that role. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rackdawg Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 3 minutes ago, EdgarM said: Totally agree, Miller/Boser 20 points in last 6 games, Petey? 3 points. We need to call a spade a spade here our concern is the 2nd line, Petey's line, not put this LOTTO LINE together again, Miller and Boes are fine by themselves. Petey failed with Kuz and Mik. The Team brings in a fellow Swede to help out, Lindholm, 1 point in the last 6 games? Definately don't resign Lindholm..he's average at best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that’s possible. It’s all part of building a championship. No one makes the playoffs once in 10 years then wins the cup. Will be an experience for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlsson does absolutely nothing when he’s called up and Podz ain’t even on Bains level, can barely score in the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farinush Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I’ll admit, I’ve been a certified EP40 hater lately but I would offer him $15 mil before I offer Mikheyev $4.75. My word he has been a black hole on every line 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
