Too little, too late. Still waiting for this team to string several Ws together. Not fun watching Isles catapulting this organization with their solid showing. I just hope this team comes together later in the season......I just hope it won't be too late.
he needs to park his ass in front of the net consistently and score some dirty goals like A.Graves used to do.
A LONG way to go. We are in a decent spot right now. Should be fully healthy for the first game Friday or Saturday, so let's go from here. I think we need to add another top 9 forward and get Glass out and we'll be fine.
As for Kreider, we know he can do it since he plays well in the playoffs, just needs to play the same way in the regular season. Hope he gets it.
Even with the roster not being fully healthy, they should not be 1 game over 500. AV has done a mediocre job so far. Lets see what he does with fully healthy lineup.
I don't know Step...I mean maybe you can say a little better, but honestly Step missed 12 games...# 1 C. Our # 1 dman and captain missed 13 or so games and 4 weeks. We had a game where we played 4 dmen. Then Moore was suspended for 5 games when we needed him with a bunch of dmen hurt. Boyle missed 5 weeks and 15 games. Not making any excuses at all, injuries happen, but I am saying considering all that I am not shocked we are where we are. Let's get McD back and get on a run. I'd love to sweep Philly, but my guess is split each winning at home.
I'll also add, outside of the Glass disaster, what else am I going to get on AV for? You want to complain about -4 in 3 games Miller not being up? Okay go for it, say AV needs to give the kid a shot, I won't argue, but I also won't sit here and say OMG what a terrible move by AV. Not sure what else he has done "wrong" outside of the Glass mess.
I know one thing for sure. Tanner 'useless' Glass will be in the lineup next game. Since Philly has the dirty idiots on their team. LOL
I understand the argument that he's the 12th forward and the importance lies with other guys. But that argument loses validity when that 12th forward has shown himself to be an extreme liability. It's not that he's not producing, it's that he's affirmatively costing this team. -9 in 20 games playing 10 mins a night is one of the most absurd stats I've ever heard. He was directly responsible for that goal tonight and was directly responsible for a goal against the Avs, both because he has no idea what to do with a stick in his hands. His inability to complete a pass or keep possession has rendered the fourth line useless. I know hes a nice guy, but get him the hell off the team.
Glass 9 minutes -2 (only -2 on team). I don't want to keep getting on the guy, is what it is, but he was reallly the biggest reason for goals 3 and 4 by TB. 3rd doesn't check Cally well. 4th goal loses the puck in front, back to the point, goal TB. He is flat out awful and I see no postive upside from him AT ALL.
I am with you Prod. He has to go IMO. He is BADLY hurting the team, and killing the 4th line almost by himself. I am not sure how AV can't see it. The guy adds ZERO IMO. If someone could say here is what he adds and tell me it does more good for the team than his awful play kills the team I would say okay I get it, but I just don't see it.
