Sad but true. Rebuild please.

Imagine if we didnt have the December to remember. We'd be FAR out of the playoff picture if December was on par with the rest of the season.

Kind of wish we hadnt fluked so many games in December because it would put a lot more heat on MG to change the guard.

I think MG has to go though for us to see any sweeping changes. He's so resistant to anything other than minor tweaks.

I'm not sure he's made a single transaction since he's been here that improves our top 6.

He's a bottom 6 sorta GM....ugh

It's not really his fault he hasn't made moves because IMO it's really hard to these days. Every team is either against the cap or bankrupt.

However, he does deserve to be fired. The Luongo debacle alone should be enough to have his butt kicked out. But even worse is the sorry direction this team took after the cup run. His evaluation of the team and hockey in general was terrible.

Shooting a puck at me in warm-up.. Maybe he didn't like my blackhawks hat

Wow, looks like pretty good aim if your camera was right in front of your face.


Surprising considering his shots are closer to hitting the corner of the boards than the net when he's actually playing.

Game in the Peg:
- Didn't deserve to win, were beat in all 3 zones. I was pretty annoyed with the effort of a handful of guys, at least defensively. Everyone makes mistakes but at times it looked like they didn't care. The positive to take out of it was that we kept battling back all the way through, especially in the beginning when we got down 2-0 quickly and it looked like it was going to be ugly.

- The first goal on Lack was very weak but then he was on fire, making at least 5 "Grade A" saves. He did let in 4 but it was nowhere near being his fault, he gave us a chance to win.

- I thought Daniel had one of his better games in a while. He didn't dominate or anything, but he made several nice plays. Could have easily had 3 assists. Kesler also had a strong game.

- The D-men were pretty solid defensively. Garrison got walked once and Corrado missed his assignment on the 3rd Jets goal, but other than that I didn't see too many mistakes. It was the forwards who let the team down in our own zone.

- Hamhuis can't score to save his life, it's becoming comical. Another marvelous chance coming down from the left point squandered. He was solid for 30 minutes in the D-zone, though

- Burrows is still invisible
- Richardson was awful
- Schroeder was awful. Also, he gave the puck away on the PP and then didn't skate back hard, it pissed me off
- Weise was bad as usual
- Kassian was okay, the rest of the forwards were meh

- Usually I don't like to use this excuse 'cause I care more about if the team played good or bad, but I thought we got the short end of the stick when it came to officiating.



-------------------


Weber injured in the 1st period, just what we needed If he can't go next game, I guess Sauve gets called up Hamhuis, Garrison, Edler and Stanton will probably end up playing 25 minutes+ each per for the rest of this road-trip.

The power play is so bad its funny to watch

Especially hamhuis

Lold

In the post-game Sullivan said they will probably have to call-up another D-man to replace Weber, but no real update as of yet.

Lack starting last game was confusing, maybe they want Luongo to play back-to-back, I don't know.

Torts back behind the bench next game, Monday @ DET.




Did you lol like a Frenchman? OHOHOHOHOHO

My cousin went to the superbowl, met John Shorthouse there. He said he was so drunk he couldn't even walk straight
