I mean, can it possibly be any worse? I watched the end of the 2nd and the beginning of the 3rd, and say 2 goals against and maybe 2 shots for. The penalty killing was abominable, the power play worse. The goaltending wasn't quite as bad, but the 3rd goal was soft - an unscreened shot through the five hole. Fluery is the best goalie we have, but he would not be a backup on any other NHL team.
It's incredibly painful to watch, and I had to stop watching, because my blood was boiling. I felt like I'd been bound and gagged, my rage and frustration having no outlet but to turn against myself.
Lose-i-peg would win 7 of 10 against this pathetic bunch of losers. They have one player worthy of the NHL, and he has just about given up. The rest are no-talent bums who maybe, if they'd pay attention in practice and learn what the coaches are trying to teach them, could steal a game or two against their betters through hard work and solid positional play, but no, they refuse to learn and just run around like chickens without heads.
I'm not convinced anyone other than Crosby could make any other team's roster.
I'm not going to go into details to back up these statements, because this is a rant. I'm sure some of the young players have loads of potential, and maybe in an alternate universe, it would be fulfilled.
