Not looking good. Down 1-0.....I am amazed how horrible this team plays at home. And not a very good come from behind team.....Isn't the game the important thing or is it only about players on this team.
it's the first game with MSL after just losing their Captain a few hrs earlier. People just love to bitch.
Has nothing to do with bitching, it's the truth. This team has 19 games to go, and if they don't want to continue their free fall they better start finding the back of the net.
Our best player (supposedly) has 29 total points this season after 45 games. He is making what, 7.5 million a year?
actually our best player is now MSL. Check what he's done the past 4yrs. A caller on WFAN said he has the most points in the league the past 4 seasons. Don';t know if it's 100% accurate but his numbers are great.
IDD but he just stepped into the rotation tonight straight off the plane from another team. A guy like Nash we expected to have goal totals in the high 30's to low 40's. He is barely making those numbers in TOTAL points the last 2 years albeit last year he missed a lot of time. Now we have an offensive minded coach and we still get no goals from our best players. I know it isn't fair to compare him to 2 of the other best guys in the league but Malkin and Cindy have 144 points between them at this point. If Nash is making 7.5 million this year those guys should be making 15 million per each.
Well this team obviously isn't making it to the ECF, so hopefully Cally resigns with Tampa so we don't lose a top draft pick.
One of our problems is much like with the Knicks and Shumpert and Landry Fields before him we seem to wayyy overrate our young talent. That is why I could give 2 shits we gave away those picks, if MSL doesn't score on this team than I know it is the players surrounding him are totally inept and we need a full house cleaning. Because this is a hall of fame player right here, still playing at a pretty high level.
I'd like to think that if someone is wearing a jersey that is a different color than the one your wearing, and he's sitting in front of the net, that he'd be easy to locate and put a body on. Leaving players unmarked, who sit in front of the net is a common theme for this team. It's been happening all year, 3 or 4 times tonight, so the fact that Toronto scored the winning goal that way doesn't surprise me.
I'd let Talbot start til he starts to struggle. Maybe it lights a fire under Hank and gets him some rest cuz he has been soft lately and taking bad angles on shots. Also, I'd move Stepan and Richards because Stepan is sucking out there. Richards, St. Louis and Nash should be the line.
