I have no clue with Janmark. He’s been horrendous. I don’t see it with him either

1 line team where defense is optional. How do we always end up back here?
|
I was thinking tonight - when was the last time someone was the hero who wasn't on our top line? I guess the one game a couple weeks ago with Bouchard and McLeod stepping up. After that though? Has there been another one this year?
|
That broke the team. Universes turned on us that afternoon and the we lost McLeod and Foegele. Good teams can recover from losing top 9 forwards, but this team can’t recover from no Foegele, McLeod, Kane, Yam/Hyman.
Especially Hyman. When both him and Yamamoto are in the lineup at the same time, then we’ve got two lines with give an effort players that are not our top scorers. The heart has been ripped out of the lineup.

Thankfully those tickets were free. What a dud.
Team is missing too many forwards and there replacements are either not getting it done, or not being used in the right role. I see no reason why you don’t give Holloway a push right now. He skates and hits, but instead we get an extra dose of Janmark who’s not terrible but has 5% more offence than the black hole Puljujarvi.
Bouchard must of been talked to recently about being out of position. Sure he looked stupid on that dive at the puck, but he did eliminate the forehand shot and forced a pass to a wide open F3. If anyone needs some slivers, start with Barrie. He got walked by Protas multiple times. Bobbled how many pucks at the blue line. Ughhhh. And I didn’t win the 50/50…..

I am not going to criticize McDrai. Sure they need to commit a lot more to their own end, but where are the ‘give an effs’ from everyone else yesterday (except Nuge)?
If you’re a plug then do something other than chase a puck. Try throwing a hit. Crash the net. Be better.

Starting to wonder if Pulu will ever break out. I remember being pissed we passed on Matt Tkachuk in 2016. He gave me Joni Pitkanen like vibes. Million dollar talent. Five cent brain and effort level.

I heard the Oilers had planned to take Sergachev at #4 or trade down with Calgary but when Columbus shocked everyone and took Dubious and JP fell, they changed their plans right on the fly. Clearly the Columbus Finnish GM knew something about JP that other teams didn't.

I agree. We are still basically a 5 person team when Kane is healthy.
We need help from the bottom 6 and the defense needs to be better. End of story. Losing last game with how good Skinner was. Just insane
Better take tonight
