What was that? I mean really Donny, like, wtf?
- QuinnFan

Yea im not sure

Its pathetic

Not putting okposo out for the last 52 seconds on one of those PPs might have helped

I agree they need to find a way to get the tage clap bombs going again. Mitts on the opposite wall brings the threat of a cross ice pass and one timers from that side as well
- ieetbred

Agreed, okposo on pp2 makes zero sense

Play the hot hand with mitts

It should be olofssons spot but he sucks. He is totally useless and the second he lost his spot on the PP he should have been sent to the moon

But here we are
- ieetbred

I agree. He can play n the NHL though and they do need the depth IMO at the moment.

Jost has been great as the extra guy right now. Really liked him with Tuch and Cozens yesterday.

A lot of this is due to forwards making a terrible play at the blue line or an extra pass instead of getting out first. Been a big problem to start the year
- DirtyDan

I mean aside from Brysons terrible decision making that was on display from puck drop (why he's starting the game i can't figure out either)

Sure. Also seen a handful of missed passes on exits and that is supposed to be what he's good at

Need the top 4 to stay healthy to avoid disaster

I remember a time trying to justify okposo resigning by saying its ok if they are willing to sit him

And here we are watching him get PP time

Yea im not sure

Its pathetic

Donny has to stop being Mr Niceguy. I know he's a nurturer type, and that can be successful, but he has to see when his niceties cause detriment to the team. Having a bad PP as it is, you can't give up chances to old goats because you like them. Being the youngest team in the league especially, we can't waste development time like that.

lol

They will never sit the captain IMO (healthy)

Okposo is closing in on 1,000 games this month if I’m not mistaken

That could be his last career ambition? Retire after the season

You can't both trust your prospects and also want to bring in one final impact forward?

Guessing your perspective is Kane centric, and not about all potential forwards they could be looking to add.

No. If you also belive in Mitts, where do 4 1st round kids fit here?

Skinner, Tage, Tuch
JJ, Cozens, Quinn
Mitts, Stamkos, Greenway

Something has to give. The $ doesn't work either.

Some talk of Olo for Tanev, just thought I would pass it along. How that would work and who sits I have no idea.

Because when that Canadian Junior Report finally comes out Hart won't be playing in the NHL.

Aren't we suppossd to trust KA and Donnie with all decisions? I'm confused.

Chris Tanev?

edit: the other Tanev is on IR so I assume Chris

or if erik johnson goes on ir

You want to make a statement IMO, go get Nylander from the Leafs. Start with Savoie.

do you see him take the dumb penalties?

Can't understand all the hate you have for Clifton.

I see a lot of dumb penalties. Both by players and from refs

looks like tarzan, plays like jane

VO being good on the PP has always been a myth. Team has to create their chances on the PP, it's not as simple as having a guy stand there and wait.

- homiedclown

Some bad puck luck imo. Said in previous post, a lot deflecting off him or pucks bouncing over sticks.

I dont think hes been bad. Just read him and EJ have lead the charge on the Sabres and learning a d-structure

looks like tarzan, plays like jane
- homiedclown

I think he was a good add but what I really want to know is " Where's the other end of this Moose"?
