Pimlach Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 2 minutes ago, K-9 said: Of course they aren’t good enough and so that’s why I wonder: are they aware that they aren’t good enough? I wonder if sooner or later that self realization begins to set in as they’re continually exposed to the reality in practice and games day after day after day. Just a thought. Sure, at this stage of their careers they know they are marginal NHL/AHL talent. They key for them Is to work hard and play for a coach that can get the most out of them. When you play on the fourth line on a bottom tier team you know what you are. 7 minutes ago, Trettioåtta said: Two deflections off skates that lead to goals - no luck tonight Better positional hockey was the problem on the Armia goal.

thewookie1 Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 I do not like the Fitzgerald and Samuelson pairing at all. Fitz has so many giveaways where he just does behind the back passes or just sending the puck through the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's improvements to be made, you make them. That's why the 3 guys could take a hike. I think Janko could anchor a 4th line and kill penalties on a decent team.

Ralph Krueger deserves a special place in hockey hell.

I don’t think it’s a conscious thing though. They know they're not very good. They're just happy to be making almost a million dollars a year. They will take it while they can get it and relish it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz has so many giveaways where he just does behind the back passes or just sending the puck through the middle. They're currently a top-minutes pairing... in the AHL. After a first couple solid games, teams are now matching top lines against them and forechecking them viciously. They need time for the game to slow down. Fitz could become a #7. He adds grit the rest of the D doesn't have and that's good. The Muel is promising. But this is the year to get away with a pairing of their caliber. Hopefully, Muel gets a vet beside him next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Just like to note if you watch the full goal sequence, Dahlin makes a great play to give Skinner the puck in space 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 11 minutes ago, Thorny said: Aim higher. Look at our record and where we match up today against a truly awful team. We need to look for improvement in every area possible to turn this around in a period shorter than another 5 years, and that’s not hyperbole. The bottom 6 needs to be good enough that Cozens, Krebs, Olofsson and Asplund have to earn top 9 ice time, not be gifted it. The first three have been mostly passengers tonight. It’s OK to have a Jankowski and a Hayden as your 13th and 14th forwards. It’s not OK to have Jankowski, Hayden, Eakin and Bjork as 9, 10, 11, and 12. Girgensons, Mitts, Hinostroza and Caggiula are be better than those 4, but we still need to aim higher. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
