They’re going to get shutout with this nonsense. Just throwing weak shots at the net with nobody around.
This expansion team will have more Stanley cup finals appearances in the last 30 years than this joke of a franchise
That’s why I’m not mad at this point. Have seen it so many times before. One goal down feels like five.
That the best this core can do. 2 ECF game wins. Thats the best they can do against the top teams in the league.
I think it was Mess who said it, playing well doesn't mean sh*t if you don't score. Solid period, but who cares. Mika hasn't scored in going on 11 games, and East West hasn't scored going on 9 games, our two best players with huge cap hits. Awesome stuff. Lav has changed lines, changed the lineup, moved guys up, moved guys down it doesn't matter...WHY...BECAUSE IT IS THE PLAYERS. I am not understanding how it isn't getting through to some of you. We have seen this game 800000 times over the past decade, every time we are in a big game late in the playoffs and the series we don't score goals, rinse and repeat rinse and repeat. Ask Hank about it, ask Igor about it. Enough already. Florida is obviously very good, but this is the same theme over and over again. It is actually very simple, the players we have are not good enough, period. They cannot get it done in big tight spots and wilt every single season. Until we get some tougher North South players, we will ALWAYS come up short.
Of course, it does. Two years ago, against TB also. The no show in game 7 last year. On and on. Because our players are soft and cannot get it done in big spots late in the playoffs year after year.
I laughed out loud when they said. after game 5 Fox said we have to get more pucks on net and not always look for the perfect play. We have been saying that about these players for 15 years, and Fox has an Apiffany after game 5 of the ECF in 2024. Cannot make this up. More proof it is the players, through MANY MANY coaches the team doesn't shoot enough, doesn't get to the paint enough, doesn't play the dirty playoff game as the playoffs go on enough. I am highly confident the MANY MANY coaches tell them, and they just are not wired that way. I want a cleaning of the house this summer, and if Drury doesn't have the ability to get it done, he needs to be fired and a Pres and GM that can actually do it needs to take over. I am fed up with all of the same sh*t year after year.
The Ottawa series when they dominated and somehow lost. Always going 7 against inferior teams. It is the same year after year, and it will not stop until different types of players are added. Enough of the soft Euro East West way of playing, it has to be stopped this summer and a new direction must be taken.
