Amazing what the trickle down effect of Holloway has shown up to be.

We’re getting out depthed by one of the most top heavy lineups in the NHL WITH over a quarter of their top nine out injured and playing with five defensemen.

Calgary leads. Are we ready for prime time or not?

That said, this roster is full of issues currently. Where the hell is neighbors, Schenn, buchnevich and Kyrou? So many disappear so easily when there’s any sign of adversity. Who’s stepping up in this lineup? How do you justify the disparity in some of those salaries against Holloway?
Buch is just playing brain dead. Another stupid back pass in his own end leads to the 2nd goal. Then he gets a pass to put him in on a partial breakaway and he pulls up and promptly gives it to Edmonton.

Missing Holloway big time.
We are not showing any urgency to get into the playoffs like we saw from the jets and now undermanned oilers team they have only 5 dmen ridiculous how we don’t have much zone time

I see, but one person doesn’t make a team. A lot of turnovers the past two games unacceptable
Parayko's absence and his big RH stick is a big factor in that. As well as on the offense in the O-Zone.

Yeah he hid some of the warts of Schenn being your 2C. Without him, Schenn has been exposed a bit.

No kidding. Flashbacks to the Kyrou of yesteryear with that drop pass in the O-Zone.

I definitely get that cp55 has been a beast this year but we won like 10 games in a row w/out him and Mc David is making us look like dog shut

smegma wrote: 09 Apr 2025 22:33 pm So what do you guys suggest for Faulk tar and feathers, run him out of town? How about we hang him!
Third pairing minimum and trade in the off season. I’d sit him a few games and try someone else
Who takes his place now? I'm ok with trading him, as long as we get a good return.
Good return? Hahahhahahaha. Your cute. A good return with his cap hit is a bag of pucks. You trade him for a 6th rounder and sign someone or trade for someone in the off season
Your diehard is showing. Can we trade fans, a bag of potato chips is good enough?
I am a diehard fan, doesn’t mean we don’t have guys that suck homer
Ok. who were you previously, and we are asking Faulk to play in place of Parayko. Which player can we put in that position that will play to your standards?

They have gotten completely away from what was working. They were making the safe plays and the transition game was flying. Now they are playing like they did the first 70% of the season. Terrible play in their own end. Stupid drop passes in their own end instead of going forward with the puck. The last 3 goals against outside of the ENG have come off failed back passes in their own end. And that doesn’t count the one Schenn coughed up a few games ago vs Pittsburgh.

The in-game announcers are unlistenable. Completely suck.
