Crusader1969 Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 The PP has to be the biggest concern at the moment. Goaltending has been ok for the most part. need to find another shooter on the PP…. Someone who is a better player all round than Olofsson but has just a deadly a shot. … if only they had that guy in the organization, if only they had a guy who is ripping apart the AHL. if only! and they need to get Cozens back and have him with 2 decent wingers….not Rousek and Biro can’t rely on having only 2 lines that have any possibility of scoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman0519 Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 We had a much better defensive game. I liked the effort. Keep playing like this and we will win plenty of games. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 I’m in the minority but i’m still very happy to get the game to OT. Last year we didn’t get enough losers points which cost us. we would’ve lost that game 2-1 in regulation. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimlach Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Let knock off the "just want one point" $hit. We missed the playoffs by one fu@kin point! The object here is to win. Carolina is a team we need to beat. UPL needs to be aware that they just changed players and we needed a change too. He had the puck, he needed to hold it. Some of our best players never got on the ice dAMMIT. Brind'Amour loved that no doubt. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win both games on the weekend UPL needs to learn for that but they wouldn’t have had a point without him I hate this take. Good teams have goalies that sometimes have to bail them out. UPL played well and has this season but these “little” mistakes add up. The difference between championship teams and also rans can be as little as 15-20 goals per year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only 4 teams worse were the 4 worst teams in the NHL that all finished 30+ points lower in the standings. If they want to be a playoff team they need to fix their penchant for sucking at home so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPL rebounded, they got the tying goal in the 3rd. take the point be happy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year we didn’t get enough losers points which cost us. we would’ve lost that game 2-1 in regulation. I agree. Some will interpret this as being ok with losing the extra point. That’s not it at all. We’ve lost 4 or 5 games in regulation this year where the score was tied in the 3rd. If we get 2 of those to OT we likely have 3 more points. We will win more of these than we will lose. It’s possible to be unhappy with the loss and happy we got the point at the same time. If the Islander score holds, we are tied for wild card 2. I realize we have played a game or two more than other teams, but we are 3-1-1 in our last 5. The trend is in the right direction. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 UPL made some good saves, big goalie doesn't need to move much, I said it before he will make a good back up. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach is right, though. Not freezing that puck so we could get a change in OT shows, at least to me, that he has a a real flaw in game awareness. I mean,… That was f'n brutal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took them a decade to build a team that plays like that. Their 2nd goal was absolutely insane That should be our goal The power play is criminal and someone needs to be on thin ice for it This was the game @ New Jersey should have been Two big games this weekend, need at least 3 of the 4 points with 2 of the points coming against PIT I'll be at the Minny game. 200 lvl, the wife spared no expense for my birthday. I'm so hoping they crush it, but a night at the game is always a great time. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 I'm not happy we lost the bonus point but I'm glad we still got a point. Evenly fought game analytically 5v5 and that's no easy feat against Carolina's depth and D corp. So I'm a bit disappointed but certainly not angry. They didn't lose due to a lack of effort or looking inept; they just had a bit of bad luck and 3v3 can be a literal crapshoot. UPL should've held the puck Now lets go sweep the weekend games and get to 5-1-1 in our last 7 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
