Off to good start as the prince whifs on another one he should have had. Don't mind saying wouldn't mind seeinf cam for a few games tell the prince snaps out of his coma and becomes the king again
Stupid play by McIlrath has to know you cannot step Up like that with 3 forwards in the offensive zone. that's a stupid play on any level
hank gives up his 3rd goal in the first 12 minutes and mercifully cam is in. Hank's mind is in russia already
AV needs to double shift both kreider and nash so their playing 25 minutes a night till reinforcements get here if ever
Another stellar effort from Hank, I guess he is still worried over his contract...oh wait. Not that he has much in front of him these days but...
And how about Dubinski? the whipping boy for Dump and others who is on pace for 20gls and 65gms while still providing the other intangibles he has.
Nash really is up for his former team. -2 and no leadership. If Sather really believes Richards has anything to offer, he should retire yesterday. Hank has his money,,,,he's done. This team may not win another home game.A joke of an organization. Forget if there's hope. Not by this 1st period.
Hank has been crap most of the year. I'm not saying other issues don't exist but he needs to be much better than this.
Whether it hurts Lundqvists ego or not, if they want any shot at a playoff spot they need to play Talbot every 3 games. He dosen't have the emotional baggage HL is carrying around this season.
So McIlrath makes one mistake attempting a big hit (what he was called up for) and he's relegated to the bench with under 9 minutes of ice time, way to build his confidence. He also drew a penalty from Dubi and didn't seem nervous, the guy is a better option than Falk. AV's inconsistency with discipline is pathetic. That small, useless, crooked-visored, barely one-dimensional bum Hagelin once again played like garbage but glides around the ice without a care, time to healthy scratch his effortless ass. Would have been nice if that pussy Stralman had taken the body on the first goal but he's been steady. Bottom line of yet another loss was Hank played like crap for whatever reason. The only positive with his play this year is we won't have to worry about him getting tired out playing for Sweden, Olympic backups don't get the minutes.
As I mentioned in another thread that Nash does not seem to be a good leader. He plays too soft and passive at times. Tonight's game proved my point. He was completely ineffective and did not care. The team has been up and down since he got here. You gotta be concerned with trying to build around him.
Dubinsky is not having a great year 31. You live in a dream world. He also gets a lot more ice time than he would here. Not to mention he was a fat slob in NY because he was more concerned about screwing around in the city than playing hockey.
As well as Stepan? Dubi is on pace for a 60+ pt season, while our #1C, point-per-game stud is pacing barely at 50pts. Derek has been very disappointing this year when during the offseason so many on this board were expecting 70-80pts out of him.
Agree Al. He skates around the ice like a friggin leprechaun. He blows. I wish he had half the heart zucc has who I was down on due to his size coming into the season but he's won me over and competes all over the ice no matter who he's going up against.
Sorry I have to say I told you so, but I told you so. Warned everyone about the Nash trade. He's great, the final link, he's all we need. Actually, he's Mr. Softie. No fire ever in his belly. Against the caps, broke his stick, puck was in corner. Not only wouldn't use his body to make a check, literally stepped out of the way so a Cap player could take the puck. Last year, we needed 1 win in last 3 games to clinch PO spot. He was invisible. In playoffs, invisible. Expected to be pumped to play his old team, invisible. NYR finally built a team from mostly within and was a Gabby shoulder injury away from making ECF. Team just needed to be tweaked. Sather destroyed it by going for the goal scorer who did nothing but hang and shoot on a loser team, then turned over a lot of the roster. What we have now is a tiny and mostly slow smurf team without much skill that is easy to play against and wimpy, and the few bigger guys we have are soft as putty, including Nash. This team is disgusting. It's back to 2003 all over again. CBJ are now a better team than NYR, and are unquestionably being led by Dubi. They are now us from a few years ago, and we are them. Bash me, insult me, ignore me, so what. Anyone without rose colored glass and being honest knows I speak the truth. Time to start all over again.
