Were you there tonight? I assume that's what 204A means...

That's our section.

if they concentrated on simply getting out of their own zone and playing better defensive hockey it would be an improvement. murray can do this for 20 gms and it'll help the young guys.

Bingo

Lindy Ruff time.

at least, more than Terry Murray time.

I will be attending the game tonight. Is it true Hextall271 will be there tonight?
- Flyskippy

Sorry I didn't see you were coming til late. He was indeed there tonight with his lovely girlfriend, his sister and her boyfriend. A good time was had by all until the second period started.

Agreed, fk.
- Flyskippy

And with that, I'm going to bed.

Honestly, I would have liked to have lost 8-1.
- KGBflyers10

I don't know about that.

8 - 1 and we're talking about whether we even belong in this league. Blowing a 3 goal league and we're talking about changing coaches.

I prefer the latter.

That's our section.

Was it just me or did that building get really quiet at 4-2 and stay that way?

It's not concentration - it's strategy and execution. They set up a forward at the side-boards and he passes to a space - not a player. And that space was taken by the Penguins the last bit of the 1st and all of the 2nd and 3rd. Maddening.

Pronger is still working out, god please let him become fully healthy and come back.

You could feel the momentum sucked out. That was the time to call the timeout and regroup.

Understatement. Ugh.

To be honest, I didn't know I was going until late. Well.. late last night and then today we had a luncheon for a retiree in the afternoon, so I was not "on" here or Twitter much at all.

Obviously they have not worked. What I'm saying is that there's no guarantee that a new coach's system will work either.

What I would like is to ride out the season, rework the roster, and evaluate things from there. Things may not change in 20 games anyway with a new coach this season.

I realize there's no guarantee that a new coach will work. I just see no reason whatsoever to believe that the current coach will suddenly be able to implement the adjustments needed to avoid further driving home the bad habits. I'd rather go with the unknown.

As far as reworking the roster, what makes you think that they can make a lot of changes?

Look at the game winning goal. That's not bad player decisions. That is what they're taught and Coached to do. Same thing in the 3rd period against the Rangers.
- MJL

What? It was a 2-on-1 with Crosby and Kunitz, 2 of the hottest players in the NHL.

And with that, I'm going to bed.

Best part about tonight: the first period.

Second-best part about tonight: No Pitbull (at least, if his music was played I did not notice)

doesnt help ticket prices are driving out real fans. last game I went to I was surrounded by spoiled rotten kids who couldn't give a poop about the game and a 20 something girl who asked how many quarters there are in a hockey game.


yup.

Time to hire Pierre McGuire. It gets him off TV and we get a new coach.

Win-win.

Internally, you think it will be Murray over Paddock or Berube?

Nah. That's no different than calling for a trade for the sake of a trade.

I'm well aware that it was a 2 on 1 with Crosby and Kunitz. I'm discussing how they got a 2 on 1.

Even if Pronger becomes symptom free from concussion, he has permanent vision damage. He stated today he has the eyesight of a 60 year old man. He has zero peripheral vision. Even if he wanted to play, there isn't a doctor that would clear him.
