Jester13 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Studs and McWard are getting too much praise for tonight. They were not good. Raty had a solid two periods, Hogs had two moments, and Hirose was stable, but that's it. Everyone else... no good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what they proved though. They proved they can be the Harlem Globetrotters against the Washington Generals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 It is expected that teams lose on the road, during pre season. All the teams do this, to rev up the home fans. That said this line up was doomed from the beginning. Strange choice by the coach. It is hard to tell how someone competes, if it isn't an actual competition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but also becomes easier to tell how someone will lead by example when the odds are stacked against them. The “leaders” on this team tonight become the support players on a better club, which in turn makes the entire NHL team better as a whole. That’s the agenda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had nobody who would even look at Klapka. When we lose 10-0, we should at least win a fight or two. There’s no good reason any team should lose 10-0 it was boys against men. Preseason for rookies is a simulation of a call up. And how they Fit or keep up with the regulars. Last preseason was a total failure tonites game eclipsed any game last year. I don’t understand why they went with so many. With as many new players that will be in the lineup I fail to understand why they frittered a game away with some players they already know aren’t going to make the cut. Get the team together so their ready. Evaluation for these young guys shouldn’t take away from getting the “real” team ready 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d argue how you handle the loss potentially kills your own career. Tocchet’s job is to groom who will make it, not drag everyone in a team sweater over the hill just because they made it this far. Tonights roster wasn’t constructed to ensure a win. He could have created something with more chance of that, no problem. But I believe we saw what we saw today because the majority of this bunch formed the bubble players. A scrimmage of bubble players against each other in camp is only good for identifying exactly who we saw tonight. It cost us one game, and a beating at that, but character came through. Skill was apparent. And some reliability and trust maybe established as well. That’s what a coach is looking for.

They don't mean anything though. The coaches decided to make the bottom players compete directly for spots rather than trying different combos with vets. That's not the same as previous seasons. That also means that they had some of their top players in and we did not. I noticed that you conveniently glossed over that part of my post.
