We had about 4 actual scoring chances.
We scored on one and hit cross bar on the other.We had about 4 actual scoring chances.
MT also said there was no cohesion between defensemen and forwards tonight, poor transition.
Ekblad would destroy Eller
After a while DD's lack of size takes a toll on him....he gets overmatched physically
I thought going into the season there was a severe drop off in talent or whatever after Price, Pacioretty, Subban, and Gallagher. Some may claim now that Pacioretty and Subban are not leading the way enough now, but really.....they need help. The trick continues to be surrounding these 4 and Galchenyuk with better players especially up front. The bargain basement guy are now showing why they were bargain basement guys....it appears we are destined to remain what we are and have been for a few years-not enough good players to seriously contend.
He should have moved one of them. Kassian and Semin were disastrous moves.
Not landing Patrick Sharp was a bust of epic proportions. FFS MB worked for the Hawks. They took a pathetic deal, in their own conference I might add, with little cap relief. How does MB not get ahead of that one?
I get Oshie. I get Saad, although I think we could have delivered a similar package for Saad. I certainly get Kessel. But when that many high end RWs are dealt and you can't get one, especially Sharp, there's a problem.
Something ain't right.
Yeah MB would have been completely overwhelmed trying to find a 2nd and 3rd line centre.
I would have moved Pleks cause he may have actually netted a decent return.
dD has little to no value
14 has even more value now locked up and no clauses in his deal , but MB won't have the cahones to do it .
