Any AHL player can come up and outproduce his numbers with that TOI when he's sulking and being a loser.

Kyrou/Thomas being centerpieces of a NHL team is downright hilarious.
Pretty sure he's playing hurt. Not sure why the rest of the team looks like they dont give a [fork].
Thomas has been hurt all season and my guess would be when they fall out if it, he will be shut down.
22:13 in their last game. Can’t be that hurt

I am a big Thomas fan but his season has been disappointing.

But, it's hard to get much done when you play every game with 89 and whatever two defensemen that are out there creating or supporting no offense.

But, he does need to be better for sure too.

That absolutely doenst mean he isn't hurt.

I subscribe to the theory that if you are out there you have to produce. Injury or not. If, and it's a big if he is hurt I don't care. If you dress, you produce.

No fire eaters that are considered a core of the team. Poorly constructed team and poorly coached.

Thomas and Kyrou are not going to command the room. Schenn is well past it and Buchnevich and Parayko are as soft as a baby's (donkey).

Why do we allow so many deflection goals?

Soft on the backend and its the worst I've ever seen. Can't move anyone if their lives depended on it.

Forget about all these fan boy prospects in the organization. I'll believe it when I see it.

Unless you can stuff some guts into some of these guys you've got nothing.

These guys know the team is bad and as soon as the other team gets three, they know the game is in all probability over. Then their compete level just plummets. And unfortunately it happens a lot in the second period.

That is true.

It's a tough league. It's even tougher when you are literally the one single guy they look to in order to create any offense. If he doesn't get three points a night he is a bum. With almost no support.

But, Ive beaten the 18 drum enough. If folks think he is the problem then so be it. That would be wrong but so be it.
