SwampD Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Someone needs to get in Dahlin's face and tell him not to be such a dandy. If he tried half as hard to make a play as he does trying to look pretty while making it, he would be a Norris candidate right now. He is WAY too skilled to be playing the way he is. Defense in hockey is body on body. Period. Staal has really good hands. His legs and brain are shot. In other words, he's terrible. I'm intrigued by the concept of Tage. It may end up being more than a concept. Did I mention that defense is body on body? Attack the guy with the puck and be on the guys without it. I don't give a flying ***** about "lanes" when in the defensive zone. I know Reinhart shot the puck over the net, but I really don't think the goal was there. This sucks.

stenbaro Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Just stopped in to say hi, just read the last few posts to see I didn’t miss a thing once again. Keep up the good.....I don’t know how to finish that sentence🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I liked Granato's post game presser, sounds like he has a plan, and is chomping at the bit to get after it and start to fix this mess at practice. He was spot on about puck management and playing with pace. I expect practices will be much more demanding and up tempo. Might take a few weeks with the sparse practice schedule, but I expect to see an improvement. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Even noticed it especially in the first period, by the end of the second guys looked gassed, but I liked the effort... bout time. 9 minutes ago, pi2000 said: I liked Granato's post game presser, sounds like he has a plan, and is chomping at the bit to get after it and start to fix this mess at practice.

Sabre fan Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) the sooner they trade Hall who was a complete giveaway-machine out there and move Skinner back on the "top" line (not sure we have a "top line these days without Jack) the better. Sportsnet reports that a host of teams would like Hall and that our return may be quite good. Kerfoot and a pick from TO sounds okay. I would rather see anybody but Skinner on our "4th line" as paying a guy $9mil to play there is absurd. Anyways we need Torts to straighten this bunch out...

Oh it was there for Reinhardt... replay show a whole open side... problem was puck was on edge not flat and he didn't need to swing his stick so high on follow thru, but hard to judge when puck comes off wobbly.

On paper this team doesn't look as bad as they play but I'm beginning to think this team needs a makeover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norcal Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I have two arms, but fingers none. I have two feet, but cannot run. I carry well but I have found I carry best with my feet off the ground. What am I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 The reason they all adore RK seems to stem from his soft as butter approach to practice. Funny how these other guys i.e. granato, smith etc didn’t voice their opinions about his out of the box stupidity while he was coach. Or maybe they did ? Who knows. RK appears to be a moron when it comes to basic hockey fundamentals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
