as should a great player. the greats find that unacceptable and will do everything they can for that to never happen again

ps---playoffs?? thats really a ;laugh at this point

the coach is fine. this is a slightly below avg team--look at the plus minus. that tells the real tale. which is a big improvement over last yr. lets get some good /tough players in there to help out jack and rasmus and rasmus and skinner. the rest of the roster is filled with mediocre players and some avg players like reinhardt.

i'd love to see him be as dominating as dom.but he better be as good as orr then....if dom wasnt the greatest goalie of all time then he was top 2 .

how is Marshawn gonna educate himself?

they need a coach who knows something about aggressive defense

jack back.Huge game. Lets hope they have woken up.

im an expert on meaningless discussions..

right on. This team is running out of gas a bit.Look how much we have improved overall.Way too cynical...altho I can see the temptation due to the perceived lack of effort in our D zone and the poor shooting.

r u sure McDavid/Eichel is better than Crosby/malkin?? That is a big maybe

I agree. Lets also see McDavid drag a team up by himself.I think he is slightly soft out there

Im not so sure why everyone would be jumping on McDavid.Has he improved the players around him greatly>>>?? Because the oilers suck worse than Buffalo. He just seems like a brilliant but slightly soft player

awwright!!

I cant believe we are letting a guy from finland beat us

the oilers minus McDavid would be the Washington generals

I agree...Its the quality of the effort that is the problem..-The weak sister stuck in our own zone stuff that was prevalent for the last many years has crept back in. Maybe its the personnel only--In that we just aren't that good outside of Eichel Dahlin Risto Skinner--and that the overrated rest of the crew was just playing over its head for a while.Or the lesser talented of the players have drifted back into bad habits. Either way the team is about 3-4 players shy of being a real Stanley cup contender..and that aint bad. And all those 3-4 don't have to be scorers.How about some tough guys that win battles along the boards and know how to mess up the other team at the blue line??

uh oh...

Santoserios

sure they need 1 or 2 scorers. But lets not forget 1 or 2 tough(ramsayish) guys .They spend too much time losing board battles and not clearing the puck. But heck this team is miles ahead of where I expected them to be.They were horrible last year. lets keep it realistic.

wow just checked score--they did it again. I had a strong feeling theyd have another philly game.

that was a helluvan islander era

or Lemieux..(re GOAT).there are a few players that played hockey like they were men playing against boys. Lets see how Dahlin developes.My guess at this point is that he will be better than Potvin,Lidstrom and Salming and not as great as Orr.

his passing is a thing of beauty. reminds me of perrault . not rushed and right on the mark with such ease.
