Reinhart bad. Good night

Pair him with Eichel and not worry as much.

Teams game plan for Eichel No team does any thought about Sam other than get their top line out against him because Sam+Skinner is the easiest line to score goals against, and not one of them is going to bruise ya

Reinhart is going to want >7MM for the losing franchise tax

6 on 3 and they refused to do anything but let Oloffson shoot no matter how open anyone else was and how bad he was blocked. Cant do that on a 6 on 3. Crash that net Boring game, made me sad. Goaltending was the difference.

Descriptive statistics can’t conclude luck. They don’t distinguish between the players actually playing a system where they pass to the front of the net and have 2 on 1s all of a suddden vs ones that are in the front of the net with defenders hounding them getting junk shots off and breakaways where they never get separation. And those are the differences we’re seeing now.

I’m no Reinhart fan but I could care less that he responds to our media or not. That bears no weight in any assessment I have of him

He has the talent. He has the quickness. His problem is he doesn’t use it. It’s all mental. His go to move with the puck is to glide in place and then force a pass. He’s never stopping in place. He’s never skating around a player. He just slows down and glides. Sometimes it’s a good pass. Often he’s forcing junk and a turnover. If he isn’t having fun playing dynamically with a coach letting him do whatever then I’m not sure what it will take. But if we were to trade him I don’t think he will be missed much at all.

They’ve always been a fringe playoff team. Goaltending killed any hope this season. It also became absurdly clear the coaching was holding them back big time if it was still any debate. Krueger may do good for tournaments, but once he was figured out it was all over. Thankfully the rot wasn’t so deep it couldn’t be cleaned out. Some guys are having major major rebounds. Add Ullmark and Eichel and see what this team does. Girgensons and a healthy defense and we’re competing. If they can keep the band together this off season I wouldn’t change a whole lot. Biggest gap is the fourth line. Benching Eakin isn’t a big money loss.

I’m bitching about why they haven’t done this yet last game and they go and do it!

I don’t care it’s entertaining hockey now. Yes, losses can be entertaining to some degree.

Entertaining, draft spot still secured. Good game

Why does Irwin not get replaced? Are they sheltering them still for some reason?

Bjork good Reinhart is a beta bitch. Trade him

We didn’t see an ounce of good Jack this year which makes trading him a possible thought. He’s still a beast of a player and I wonder what he’d do under Granato Definitely not a leader though But definitely Damaged goods now which hurts any return. mid want a blue chip or two plus firsts. Not just one or the other.

Coaching is everything cant wait for fancy stats to have a coaching factor

Eichel McCabe Borgen Girgensons (Montour with me coach) helps many of those numbers defensively Our PP was Eichel and that changes with his return Goalie problems can’t be understated This team isn’t that far off. Injury return, a goalie not injured, and a new coach and we’re easily playoffs

Tokarski is sooooo bad and they nearly won. Sad ending. we need all our injured players back

Beating Boston 6 times and kicking them out of playoffs is a winning season

Beauty

Refs bad every Boston game wooooooi

Nobody was open. Better than Hall just giving the puck away

Bjork just carried the puck longer than I’ve seen Hall all season lol Were going to like Bjork. He was just a bad fit in Boston

Boston has no defense. They have one good line and play dirty up and down the line up. Hall is just going to suck useful minutes away from them. They’re going nowhere. but we don’t have enough juice right now to stand up to the physicality. Too many injuries and such.

This is the ***** I’m talking about. Should be 20 penalties to none but refs gotta ref and make penalties even
