BigWillieStyle 662 Report post Posted January 20, 2019 We need less cutesy, more shootsy. Other teams are just standing there watching us pass, knowing we're not going to shoot it. 5 Hockeymom1960, 13dangledangle, Dabura and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted January 21, 2019 6 minutes ago, TLGTrico said: Why does this team hate having a lead? I think it's a talent problem and a psychological complex, and the two kind of compound each other. If you hold a lead in the 3rd, the other team's going to push, which means more ice time for their best players, which means...bad things. 2 Hockeymom1960 and 13dangledangle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puckbags 863 Report post Posted January 21, 2019 I was at the game yesterday. There is times in the first 2 periods where I'm watching and can't for the life of me figure out why we are so bad. Then I looked at the scoreboard after 2 and realized we had 30 shots on net, carried the play and had 2 goals. They had us right where they wanted us because we can't put a team away and we cant hold a lead on the road and poooof. We end up losing. Blashill is terrible. During the TV time out he doesn't say a thing. Kronwall, Nielsen, Larkin do all the talking. That says a lot to me. Kronwall, Green and Hronek were our best 3 d. The other 3 are just filling space. Ericcson, DK and Jensen are 3rd pairing d men. Top 6 on forward possessed the puck well but too much passing. It was painful. AA is basically playing 4th line minutes and going forward it does nothing for his development. Last thought : The western conference is a dumpster fire. The Canucks are bad and they are in a playoff spot. 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another unfounded knock on AA. Larkin is a minus 6 and minus 32 during his career. I'm not saying AA should be getting Larkins minutes. Larkin is a great player. I'm saying that AA needs to play more if we are going to score more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
