I hate this (frank)ing team. They are losers. We have to accept they are losers. We talked and toughness earlier today. This team is mentally weak. Any mistake they make mushroom clouds into disaster. They either don't care and/or are scared. Even the end of this game. Laf and Miller both just reach, don't skate and can't cover anybody.

Let’s get stoned man

That was ridiculous those picks.

Still. This team sucks, I’m sorry. It’s going nowhere. It’s been smoke and mirrors all damn season. They will be annihilated in 4 games. How they didn’t destroy this team after they played last night and we didn’t, is inexcusable. They have no answer if Panarins line is shutdown. None. Zib and Krieder need a scorer with them, it’s really that simple. The bottom 6 is the absolute pits. Cuylle move him up and just play 6 forwards

Defense looked better most of the night. Gus is a bargain, but he should be the 7th guy. He turned the whole game with that play

Every defensemen not named Adam Fox is playing at that level. Just terrible. Also Zibanejad is done. It was fun while it lasted, but we are seeing in real time what it looks like to decline.

Mika trouba and goody contracts are bad. Team is an early round exit

The big guys all had a rough game (esp the PP, it was bruuuuutal tonight). But again, they all play so much because they can’t rely on the bottom 6 for anything. It’ll be 5 games til they score again

Cuylle, 9:52. Why? Hes wasted on the 3rd line with Jbrod and wheeler

Safe to say Laviolette is just another empty suit. Also, we gotta start blaming Chris Drury. He built some of this mess.

I don’t think it’s far off tho. It’s just way too long to not have done something.

I’m glad they’re losing like this pre TDL because he can’t ignore certain things, and players, much longer. After the TDL of this was happening I’d throw the towel in

Something big is going to happen, personally I can’t wait because they need it

The team itself needs a rest. They look exhausted. Body language says a lot, and it’s speaking a thousand words imo

Bring back Gallant, at least we won in the regular season

When/If Chytil comes back after the all star break, this is how I’d make the lineup

Kreider Chytil Wheeler
Panarin Trocheck Cuylle
Laf Zib Kakko

Yes, crazy. But sends the message. Maybe Laf and Kakko being off the top lines will make them take more control and a demotion will wake Zib up. Something needs to be done. This team is embarrassing right now

TPC was right. Shoulda traded zib before signing that extension lol.

Glad I went to bed after the first!

They could have bought Eichel when his value was low and cashed out on Zib when his value was at an all time high. Missed opportunity lol

Step one should be take Zib off of powerplay one for laf. That was the best the powerplay looked in over a month
