Good job Pikey.

SO happy to see that they have completely fixed the problems in the lineup.

It was Ritchie's fault.

The only solution is to sit him.

Strange, but I think we were a 500 team long before we traded a sitting Ritchie for a playing Ritchie.

 

Sutter is stacking the odds against us.

Markstrom has played well for the last 6 games.

Are we really expecting him to have suddenly fixed everything wrong with his game?

Record: 2-3-1.

Thanks @travel_dude

I thought I would give this a go. And I agree, I’ve been waiting a long time to see a lineup like this. The only icing on the cake would be to see Phillips on Ruzie and Duehrs wing. Time for the team to win in spite of Sutter. His tactics aren’t wrong all the time, but no more excuses, head down, heart on sleeve type of hockey.

This Hockey team confuses me something firece they challenge with teams like the wilds etc yet lose to teams that are the bottom of the league am i in the twilight zone

That's something that we have done for this year and the last two.

I think the bottom teams have speed we can't handle.

And they make switches in our D-zone that messes up coverage.

I think what Also Kills us is we will start great like right now and Boom senators will Score and Drain the momentum

 

Well, if we don't score 2 in the 1st after outplaying them, then yes we will lose momentum.

Right now, I would say we had a good first 2 minutes and that is it.
