    Meltdown mode again. All the dmen suck. McD is an awful captain. Stepan sucks.

    I love it...

    At this point they're both just existing out there, and barely give anything offensive for 5m. Klein should be making more at this stage. Boyle just needs to shoot more but he's been hurt.

    With all that being said, tonight was a terrible loss. First time I am actually really angry after a game. Many chances and couldn't score. AV has Hunwick and Girardi on the point on the PP during one stretch. Kreider is the guy who by far should be the one we are getting on. He has been flat out lost, and needs to get his sh*t together ASAP. Followed by Zucc. Yet we complain about guys like Stepan and McD...comical.

    Oh I get it now sc...you are expecting O from Girardi and Staal, that's the issue. Why would you expect O from them? That is on you bro not them. They don't provide O, especially Staal. I expect two guys who don't provide O to provide O, and when they don't I'll get mad at them...good luck with that buddy.

    That is why I see literally ZERO reason to re-sign Staal...why would we? Girardi to me is better, but they are similar...we don't need Girardi at 5.5 mill and Staal at 6 mill per, that would be a dumb signing for us hands down.

    I am glad we are at least making chuck laugh. This team is special. They are about to get on a roll.

    Stepan and golden boy aren't averse to blame, they both need to step up more. I guess the bigger issue is roster just lacks completeness and balance.

    I'm not looking for them to be Drew Doughty but can they at least give them something more, Staal especially?

    Stepan has 13 points in 13 games...what are you talking about? Granted the last two games he hasn't played his best, but 13 points in 13 games speaks for itself IMO.

    Kreider and Zucc are the guys who clearly need to step it up the most IMO. They should be the main focus I think. And honestly, Boyle hasn't been that great either. Now I give him a little pass because he was hurt for weeks, then got sick, and maybe just now is starting to get fully healthy, but he needs to do more as well.

    I won't argue with you on Staal, you know I don't want him here long term no way in h*ll for 6 mill per, but I am also not going to get angry and focus on their O when that is not their game. Staal has ZERO offensive game these days...ZERO, is what it is. Again why would I re-sign that guy for 6 mill per?

    Zucc is really playing with fire right now. He wont be brought back at this rate unless he turns it around soon. Thats too bad as I've been a big zucc supporter. And Kreider needs a benching in the worst way.

    I said it before the game tonight, this 6 game stretch that started tonight, will go a long way in deciding what type of team we are. 5 on the road, and a Western Canada trip. Not easy. Bad start tonight. Pitt game very big I think before trip.

    I don't know, for what he makes Girardi is just awful in the offensive zone. Klein for 3m has twice the sense with the puck.

    Kreider comes with huge expectations to have a big season and be one of the top goal scorers on this team. His play this year has been disgraceful.

    Sorry i just had to vent, that one really pissed me off. And 13pts lost with blown leads isn't good.

    You don't like Girardi, you never have and you never will, and that is fine...to each their own. But he is a very solid dman, who plays major minutes against the other teams top players (25 mpg), and usually gets the job done. In the NHL today he is worth 5.5 mill per easily...not even a 1% doubt about it.

    I just don't see why we would want to re-sign Staal for 6 mill per. That one would puzzle me.

    He's a good guy but i just don't see him being worth that much. Maybe 3y ago but i see his play starting to decline now. Girardi that is.
