We are young team with a good mix of talent. I think we compete well against any team in the NHL. We as fans have to give the team a break for sake!!!
Theo was shaky in the first and the Rangers goalie was hot. In hindsight I would have given Danis the start tonight. Theo looked tired.
Anyways - believe it or not the Rangers are a good team and looked like they had a lot of piss and vinegar and out worked us. We didn't capitalize on our chances and we lost. Lets move on people - lets not start calling for peoples heads and make drastic measures. We are technically on a one game losing streak. We got a point out of the Ottawa game which was a win in itself. At least we didn't get shutout 8 nothing :)
We are going to be an average team this year guys - make the playoffs and hopefully make it past the first round even though we think we should be better. I have said this before we will be like Ottawa is right now in 3 years.
Its true that we won't be able to win everynight but we should be able to compete. Nodody had anything negitive to say when Ottawa beat us becasue we competed but lost. THis game we did not compete. it proves Theo is unconsitant.
i missed the first period and was pretty upset to tune into the game already down 3-0 in the second. from what i seen though we dominated most of the second but just couldn't score.
the first 10 minutes of the third was really impressive and if we could find the energy to compete like that for a full 60 minutes there wouldn't be a team in the league that could touch us.
it is too hard to come back from such a slow start, even more so against a hot goaltender like we ran into tonight. we just have to regroup and come oput ready to play a full game on monday!
Pittsburgh came from behind after being down 4-0 after 9 minutes (vs Atlanta). I don't think any lead is insurmountable now. There were some positives from the game last night, even in a loss.
Danis - very solid game in relief. It's nice to have such depth in goal.
Higgins/Perezogin/Plekanec - the time they played together, they were swarming. Any of these guys is capable of scoring and I hope this line is kept together for a bit.
Rivet - he just seems to be our best D, quiet and steady.
Zed's back! I like that CJ put him back on the first line to spark some goals. It worked for sure. CJ should be called DJ cause he sure knows how to mix 'em!
I am concerned about the rollercoaster ride. We played a hell of a game against Ottawa. I was not happy we lost because we came so close and I felt awful bad for Theo who played the best game in Years. There has to be a reason we are so inconsistent like this. Look the PP Play sucks, and we do need someone at the Blue line. I do not care if we lose but please please please atleast make it look like we are trying am I wrong??????
