  1. Disappointing loss, gotta put something together again soon and figure out some of these consistent repetitive issues.

  2. We really need Gunner back. Glad that Marino is back but we are just struggling all over now.

  3. I swear we have 100% loss rate when we get a bad penalty called against us. Maccelli getting roughing was a joke, I don’t get why refs call penalties if they don’t see something actually happening.

  4. Rough night for the Club, especially after such a dominant first period. There’s a lot we need to work on, but I just wanted to point out some positives from tonight: 

    – Great effort and performance from our captain. Keller tried to put the team on his back in the third, you can see how much he wants to win. 2 points in a 3 goal game shows how important he is to us.
    – I love what I saw from Marino. Obviously there’s still plenty of rust to shake off, but he’s fantastic at staying on his man and providing some stability on defense. I think he’ll be a huge help very soon.
    – Except for a stretch in the third, we did a good job at staying out of the box. The team looks more disciplined now, and the only penalty we had in the other periods was a necessary one from Seragachev. Great progress from the club.

    There’s justifiably a lot to critique right now, and we need to play better. I just wanted fo add a little bit of positivity. You guys make every game so much more fun, win or lose 🙂 I love this team and I believe in them! Let’s go Utah! 

  5. I felt pretty good after the season ticket event last night. That lasted all of a period. Why is it so bad playing at home? I just don’t get it.

  6. Embarrassing loss but Josh Doan looked really good tonight. He’s a feisty little thing.

  7. I’ve heard it spoken perfectly in the past, forgot who said it.

    But the most frustrating part with this team is we are consistently inconsistent.

  8. Okay, I’m just gonna vent.. apologies to anyone not a fan of my language.

    Fuck that game. The ice was shit, everyone was falling and losing an edge and the puck was doing the dumbest stuff. The habs are so fucking dirty, and the refs couldn’t care less after the 2nd. Stenlund got grabbed, put into a head lock, and his helmet thrown off. The ref just waltzed up and didn’t do a damn thing.

    We had yet another terrible 2nd period and a huge part of that was constant penalties. There was no rhythm at all to this game, we just traded penalties and turnovers in the neutral zone.

    Veggie was looking mortal for the first time in a long while.

    Okay now a real write up..

    I tried typing up something, but honestly I just don’t feel great. This game was genuinely frustrating because so many little things added up to a pain of a game. Penalties and dirty play, so many turnovers, pucks rolling off guys sticks at inopportune times, veggie missing ones he should have had, great 1st period aggression then lifeless play the rest of it, did I mention the habs are dirty little craps?

    I’m just gonna delete this game from my brain, the boys should too.

    Good to to see Marino playing, he looked out of shape cause he hasn’t played hockey in wayy too long. But I thought he made some good stretch passes and played well all things considered.

    FTH and let’s go club the rangers and take our pent up aggression out on them!

    #We are coming

  9. I always hate these interviews after the game. Like everyone is upset about the loss, no one really has answers right now. Give it a rest.

  10. Rough game for Valimaki, Maatta, and Sergy. Besides the lapses in coverage, I’m not sure why our point guys cannot hit the net. Can’t tell if they are picking corners and failing or just not able to create space for a lane to shoot in (this is a skill issue). Let’s not get started on playmaking in our d-zone or on the offensive blue line.

    Crouse continues to look uninspired. Although it seems his ice time is starting to reflect that. If Maccelli can’t hit the net then he should probably stop shooting too lol. I just don’t know what to do with that 3rd line. The decline is such a mystery to me.

    Anyone know why McBain was benched?
