Let's see if Sather does a damn thing before the DL. We head in on a two game losing streak, where we really played poorly. Will Sather do anything, or sit on his a** again.
They're playing and controlling the game just as much as the Rangers did in the first. Difference is, they have guys who can score and can push our guys away from the crease, we have guys like Callahan that can't score for shit, and guys like Klein who skate WAY out of position and allow a 2-on-1 because he's rather be at the blue line for no reason, rather than defending his man. If Klein doesn't abandon his man, the Bruins probably don't score there.
Plus, I am not so sure that Kesler won't break out again with a team change. If he doesn't want to play there anymore, I really think he could be re-energized on a new team in the US. And he has a GREAT deal for the next two seasons. Does he want to come here? And will Sather actually do ANYTHING before Wednesday? We'll see.
Completely agree with you Al. It's the exact reason I said that despite controlling play, only having one goal was ridiculous. We need finishers, not more Callahans. If he wants 6.5 mil, let his bum ass go to buffalo and disappear.
No debate from me Al. I agree on Cally. I do not like giving a player like Cally (22 goals and 45 points in a normal season) 6 mill per, especially for that long. If it were me, unless we really cannot get any decent value, I 100% trade Cally by the DL. We are not winning a cup this year anyway, so why not. Why re-sign him to a terrible deal. If I can get solid value, I deal him for sure.
just fucking sell already at the dl. I told you it is an average hockey team. Too many star players make way too much money for what they are worth including that swedish goalie in net.
It's no secret how you beat the Rangers, you lean on them and you hit them for 60 minutes. They cannot play a full 60 minutes with a team that is bigger and stronger than they are. Then of course you throw in their inability to put the puck in the back of the net. If St Louis came here, he'd get his ass handed to him because the Rangers have nobody to watch his back ... or anybody's back that matter. Sather, get up off your ass and make this team bigger and stronger.
It's really too bad St Louis has 1 more year. It seems they probably could sign him to a reasonable deal as a UFA since he lives in CT and wants to play here. This team is so freaking frustrating
I'll tell you something else, McIlrath better have the goods starting next season. Otherwise that will be a disaster of a pick. I know a lot of you are talking him up and very excited for him to be ready (will that ever happen?), so I will go with that. But he better have the goods otherwise that is a disaster.
True but Boston is probably the worst match up for them especially in a series I expected a better effort tonight
I remember a time when we wanted to play Boston. I think it was last season. Now they beat us down every game. Jam is 100% right. We have very few big, physical, pound you guys and it hurts. Nash is NOT that despite his size. We have no one on D like that. Maybe Kreider can get there...maybe. But right now we really lack size with talent.
Think about this. We have Stralman, Klein, and Moore all playing defense. We have 3 legit defenders and them 3 crap defensemen. Stralman is a 5 at best. Klein and Moore are both a 6 at best. We STILL need a crease clearing dman and a dman that can shoot from the blue line; same needs we've had for the past, what, 5 seasons??? Fuckin Sather needs his fucking walking papers. Hopefully Dolan won't want the team with them having to relocate MSG and he'll sell to an owner that actually gives a shit about winning and not simply money.
