Weak limp wristed effort from a weak limp wristed team.

Maybe it’s just a shitty team. 11 games in and I’ve seen 7 or 8 good periods of hockey and I think I’m being generous here. Get this fucking coach out of here and bring in a guy to light a fire under these clowns asses. Or burn it all down and take a blowtorch to the front office and let a new GM pick his coach. This team is dead from the ass up. Garbage effort. Thanks a lot Aquilini. Hopefully Luigi is as sick of you as the fans are.

We're competitive but lose more than we win. Our special teams suck and we have a popgun offense.

You can imagine the season quietly slip away competitive loss after competitive loss.

Just pay the Sedins extra for them to coach the PP at practice.

Imagine? Seems real to me.

This team is so 1986, it’s scary.

For sure. We're holding our own at even strength, but the special teams reek.

We haven't been getting blown out of the building. Now where would we be if Pettersson wasn't completely lost? What if #6 & #9 were consistently performing? What if Bo & Pearson were supporting the offense?

But most importantly, what if we gave up just a few less powerplay goals and scored a few more on our powerplay? Just reverse that by 2-3 goals and things would look a whole lot different.

They would do it for free. Remember, they're watching the same shit we are.

Hell, just give those two the PTOs and let them run the PP.

Team has a great offence. Other than that they are offensive. Someone needs to get in Pettersson’s grill. He looks like he doesn’t give a fuck.

Perhaps we should be thankful he only got a three year contract. Imagine he had signed a long term deal and played this bad.

I am concerned about the kid. He looks like he’d rather be anywhere but here. Totally agree we may have dodged a bullet not signing him to seven or eight years. Quinn Hughes on the other hand is the consummate professional and has been one of the teams top players this year. Season is young but I’m seeing a serious lack of tenacity and battle level from this team. Also the dumb fuck of a GM had no other penalty killers in mind besides Motte and Sutter. Even if they were both healthy the PK forwards suck. Need a real AGM and a president to keep Elmer in check.

Well I think you know who filled the vacant president role.

I'm afraid he's going to be kind of hard to dislodge from that position. :lol:
