Holland and co won't accept missing the playoffs simple as that. This is a playoff team. If we continue to nose dive and keep losing in the same kind of fashion something will change here. The record doesn't bother me as much as the way we are losing. We look like the worst team in the league

We are trying the stretch pass way too much. I think Blash is trying to take advantage of our speed but it causes our puck carrier to get out numbered and lose possession. It looked riciculous on the power play. By the time we were trying to gain zone entry at the blue line kronwall was still in his own zone. I'd rather our dmen carry the puck or join the rush. We just can't generate anything unless it's off a turnover. No cycle game and entering the zone is a nightmare. We are pretty tidy defensively (against terrible teams) but the offensive strategy is absolutely 100 percent not working, it needs a complete overhaul

I agree. I'm not even exaggerating when I say this is the worst hockey team I've watched all year

This team needs some energy. A fourth line that will crash and bang and own the puck would help. Most teams have a guy that will throw the body or go out there looking to create energy when the game isn't looking good. Abby usually does this but he isn't. The whole team just looks slow to the puck it's always just out of their reach and getting outmuscled every step of the way

Imagine what's going to happen when we play a decent team

Aside from wins we are statistically one of the very worst teams in the league. Our faceoffs, PK, possession numbers, shots per game... There's obviously a trend. This kind of play leads to missing the playoffs by a lot. Got our wins early and it doesn't look like they have it in them to even beat a team right now

4 shots in the third and we lost??? How does this happen. Something is seriously wrong with this team their has been no positives

We deserve to lose anyways

We have 3 shots in the third period their is something seriously wrong with this team

We have the worst forecheck in the NHL

i see effort in Nyquist's game. The rest of the team not so much

Stop stretching the team out with the long bomb pass it's why we get surround by three defenders every time we enter the zone

And not a single board battle was won that day

2 of our 5 guys at the blue line trying to gain zone entry

So out of sync I wouldn't be trying to make stretch passes on the PP it stretches out our whole team

I know it's harsh because of their history of being good hockey players but if the roster was chosen by effectiveness this season Glendening and Sheahan would be sitting for Andersson and Jurco

Glendening looks like any fourth liner on any team at any given moment. Jurco has looked better in both games he played

Was Sheahan always this bad at draws? Clearly our worst line, fourth has been our best. Other two are just not forceful at all. Defense has been decent considering all the injuries I think when people return guys like Sheahan and Glendening should be considered to be scratches over Jurco

Bad faceoff teams are usually generally bad teams around the league

Andersson>Sheahan right now. Throw Glendening in their as well

our cycle game is nonexistent

I don't understand the Andersson hate he's much better than Ferraro My feeds a bit slow but I just seen a really nice set up by Andersson in the slot to Jurco for a point blank shot and Andersson got absolutely nailed and no call

Marchenko looks good made some really nice passes

Sheahan has been really disappointing

Sheahan kind of sucks
