That said, the blasting of the team is absurd. It’s improved in leaps and bounds from last year. Youth is not an “excuse.” It’s a fact. Reality. The vast majority of the team is not yet in their prime; not close. Most are 2-3 years away. But they do have a good deal of talent. They are in serious need of a strong, top 2, top 4 defenseman. And a two-way forward. I don’t know that that will be out there after the trade deadline deals unfortunately. Youth is a reality but also an excuse. Talent is great but if you don’t teach them how to play the game, the whole ***** game, then the team is doomed no matter how much talent you have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 If the slide goes much longer, then I would shut down Dahlin, Samuelsson, and anyone else important who needs to heal for the rest of the season. Also, now that we are seeing the results of it, I think it is clear that not rotating in Hinostroza, Asplund, etc. throughout the season for Peterka, Quinn, etc. just to rest the youngsters was a mistake. They clearly have worn down physically and mentally and their effectiveness has correspondingly decreased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrenchConnection44 Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 This team could not clear or carry the puck out of their own zone if their mom’s life depended on it. It’s uncanny. Something needs to change - systemically. Granato needs to look at himself and scout some other teams to see what the deal is and what he needs to change. So does Adams.

Hurt or idiotic lineup change as I thought they were two of our better forward lately?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference. If they were all 13 would you say it’s an excuse? No one would. If their top 10 payers all went down to season ending injury in January would you say that’s an excuse? No reasonable person would. It’s a reality. They aren’t ready to win. They don’t have the physical or mental maturity or the goaltending. They don’t have 6 all star 30 year olds with Cup experience and Hasek in goal. They are where they are and still have a ton of room for improvement. But the pressure is on Adams to deliver this off season and improve the team, for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 As pointless as it seems, I liked Girgensons being in front of the net on the PP at the end causing havoc. IMHO, that is one change that I think we need next year that I don't think gets mentioned. It would add a wrinkle to the PP to make it less predictable against well-structured defencive teams. Those teams have caught up to us. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
