  1. Inability to sustain any sort of offensive pressure for any length of time is the single biggest reason why this team sucks.

  2. Not playing Binner was a mistake. Hofer’s made some good saves, but some of his positioning has been questionable.

  3. Ahhh you can see Hofer makes a save there and that’s why he wasn’t able to get over. Couldn’t even see that from the previous angles

  4. Sorokin giving up big rebounds but as usual nobody there to get them. Consistent issue. 

  5. Imagine if we paid 1M more to bring back O’Reilly and didn’t bring Hayes in. Not saying we are some cup contender but I can guarantee you wed be sitting in that 8th spot

  6. No sustained offensive pressure at all… What happens when you only have 1 line that can really drive play. We, at minimum, need a better 2C and talented winger to push this team past a .500 team at least on the offensive side of things. Schenn is not a top 6 forward at this point in his career.

  7. I am glad this game is not being televised (dont have espn +).

    We sound absolutely pathetic

  8. Anyone else wanna rip their hair out when ESPN runs the ONE commercial over and over and over again? CRIMINAL. Auto mute every time.

  9. Make it even so we can get them in OT, I like our chance there

    LGB 🎺 💙 🎺

  10. Our 4th line are the only guys that actually looked like they punched above their weight tonight. And Parayko and saad

  11. Does anyone think kappy gets another NHL contract or is it off to the euro leagues after this?

  12. I typically don’t mind when we lose eastern games. But unless the perds throw this one away, it’s going to hurt real bad

  13. Hofer didn’t play great but cant blame him when the offense can’t score more than 2 goals.

  14. Gotta say Bannister is basically stagnant when it comes to mixing up forward lines in game. Berube had a pulse on that throughout his tenure. Bannister sits on his hands 99% of the time.

    Have you ever tried putting the players who are skiing well with the others?? The rigidity in this aspect is alarming after seeing a game like this.

  15. Burn it down already. Rip the bandaid off finally. We are going to me middling for a while if army doesn’t do something drastic.

  16. WHY DO WE ALWAYS DUMP THE PUCK IN WITH THE EMPTY NET. IS THE IDEA OF THE EXTRA MAN NOT POSESSION. ITS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR TWO SEASONS NOW

  17. There’s chip and chase, and then there’s just chuck it around wildly with no plan. Seems to be our strategy game after game.

  18. Anyone have win % with and without Faulk in lineup? This year easily the biggest defensive liability 

  19. Fucking horrible. Schenn is a worse captain than Eric Brewer or Dallas Drake. What a lifeless performance. I would love to strap Faulk on a rocket ship headed straight for the sun

  20. Just rolling the same lines and throwing the top line out there every other shift hoping for a miracle(it’s another no look pass turnover) is so fucking frustrating
