Adam Graves might be better at defense than Ryan Graves.

Our power play is so bad that we don’t even get lucky breaks like Montreal just got.

Jarry with no chance there.Habs working the Defense down low and got a lucky bounce.

It would be great to see Rakell get out the funk he’s been in since the 8th grade picnic.

Now would be a great time!

I’ve been saying the same thing for a long time now.

Does Dubas watch this team and actually say that this is a well coached team??

Defensive breakdowns, inconsistent effort, minimal emotion etc.

He is better at slashing for sure.

These Defensive turnovers and breakdowns are just terrible.And zero energy from nearly every forward making it worse.

I don't think I can recall a team getting so many quality chances and not scoring

How many times have we seen players cruising down the slot and pass instead of shooting?

The last time I checked they were -24.8 goals vs expected based on quality chances.

White barely got a shot off after a great setup from Pettersson.Cannot have him as the 2nd Line RW.

I'd settle for Gideon Graves (from Scott Pilgrim).

He's had at least 2 good opportunities and missed them all.

Graves may be crapping the bed, but what has Karlsson done to earn his 11 million?

Outside of Eller,Puustinen and Jarry a lifeless effort for most of that 2nd Period.
Sully using Colin White as the 2nd Line RW is another decision that he should get hammered for.
The PP continues to fail.Looked much better with Puustinen moving and being decisive but still can't buy a goal.
Rust and Karlsson both having rough nights.Both guys are not making a difference in a positive way at all.
Jarry has kept them in this but they continue to look like a team with no answers and no direction.

Moral victories don’t get you into playoff position. They need to execute, finish. Listening to the rah rah intermission report is old. I know that’s their job, but the best we can hope for at this point is another OT loss.

It's not even enjoyable or exciting to watch on most nights. So stale.

Remember when Rakell used to be good?

Me neither.
