Not sure what Maroon said at the draw, but probably wishes Gudbranson didn't hear it.


Maroon’s doing his job. Not sure where Chucky was tonight or Looch. Both very quiet. Heck, Johnny was more involved in the shenanigans than those two. Did they play tonight?

I don't get it.  We have played well when we lay the body.

I know we had a lot of hits, but I really didn't notice them.

We played a good period against the Cats.

And let them walk us the 2nd.

Tonight we played a good 1st period, but lost control in the 2nd.

Back to losing 2nd periods again.

Sutter needs to look at the use of Dube at C on the road.

It makes for a small 2nd line.

Monahan hasn't looked good on the 4th line in some time.

we need more speed, more goals, a number1D, and tighten up the D zone coverage?

I’d say D zone coverage is fixable. Unfortunately our true need is where we’ve always been in need. Center. With Backlund and Mony being what they are, we’ve got 2 neutered forward lines. We need Centers that can create and drive play.

Looks like they broadcast postgame coverage for Tampa bay… 😒

 

Talking about how good Kucherov was and how calm and easy it looked for him tonight. Yes, very easy. Too easy. Nobody touches this guy. I don’t get it. Other teams will target Johnny, but we don’t circle Kucherov or Point on the whiteboard before the game?

Easier said than done. Both have great vision and are hard to catch.

Can someone wake Backlund up? He was feisty earlier in the year. Now he's ho-hum lahdeedah Backlund again. I can't stand this Backlund.

Backlund hasn't looked good since he was playing with Mangiapane.

I think the lines have looked mostly bad for the last few games.

We lucked out with two wins where we maybe didn't have the right mix but managed the points.

The last two have been completely wrong.

 

Backlund isn't playing a good defensive game now.

He certainly isn't a skilled shooter.

His skating used to get him ahead of the D and he was able to cut to the net.

Not lately.
