I'm guessing Bailey's -3 is not from trying to do too much?

Bailey, the man who tried to do too little.

This Peter douche disappears until the Rags win. Was in here in the beginning of the year trolling us when the Rags started off good and we lost to the Islanders.

Were we so bad we lost to ourselves?
- Cptmjl

For 30 years yes

For your qb comparison, yes it can absolutely be the untalented receivers that cause a qb to force a bad throw. Its obviously not PERSONALLY their fault but the lack of surrounding talent definitely causes players to force bad plays. That happens all the time. In fact, good players forcing bad plays due to sub par supporting casts happens in virtually every team sport there is. That happens to virtually every star player at some point. This is not to excuse bad dcisions, it's to explain why they are being made.

Bad thing is. I don’t think this team has hit rock bottom yet.

Now, now. Let’s not go jumping off bridges or anything.

I understand what your trying to say but this is the best of the best.
You can’t Make a bad decision, its a mistake, which is a bad play, which is your fault. There’s no way to defend it. If you tell Barry, Barzal’s turnovers were his teammates fault he would laugh at you sorry.

JHS is in the AHL because hes trying to force plays and his line mates weren’t good enough? We are going to agree to dis agree on this.

Now, now. Let’s not go jumping off bridges or anything.

They’ve been meandering in and out of horrible to mediocre play for the most part for a month and a half. Lazy efforts. I think they’ll straighten it out eventually but that’s what has been going on. Couple that with Valamov letting in a soft goal here and there and it’s an uphill battle for a team that hasn’t been able to score for two seasons. Not jumping off a bridge thems the facts bud.

Barzal -4

Bailey -3


- JohnScammo

Had two assists on Rags goals so shouldn’t that make him -2?

Oh wait they weren’t his fault so they don’t count

I noticed you and a few others pointed it out. Should I read it?

This team has not been sharp for a while. This team will straighten itself out but they can only go so far on this current roster. Sorry for the shocking news. Barry's system is no longer new and coaching is no longer an issue.

I agree with teams adjusting to this team to an extent but we all know this teams problem is it’s depth. Hasn’t been addressed in two off seasons and a tdl. Maybe this is the big year? Or do we have to wait for the arena to be built a little more? I can’t remember? Hopefully Johnston protects Barzal tomorrow night.

All I know is we did not want to hear excuses with Garth and we should not with Lou. If Lou thinks this is a win now team, he needs to figure it out. Barry can only do so much and another year or two of pretty much the same roster will not cut it.

This is when all the magic happens?

Georgiev . .941 save %

Varlamov .829 save %

The outcome was not a surprise.

On that we agree.

But this is the same team that set a franchise record for the most consecutive games with a point.

I’m not thrilled with their play as of late, much like yourself.
