A blown call on the Icing led to this but Ruhwedel has no excuse for playing it that soft.
Its getting ugly early.

If you aren’t going to make a coaching change that’s the only other option. Sell off anyone who wants to leave unless they are under 26.

Can't wait to hear the coach say "I thought we competed hard..." after the game tonight!

Be nice if this team would show up at the opening puck drop.

I don’t know who to blame more for Harkins and White playing in the NHL but I guess Sullivan can’t dress them if they are in WBS so that’s on Dubas. Would much rather have Poulin and Puustinen and swapping those two for two would still have us just about $6,000 under the cap so it’s not a money issue.

100%. No idea why Sullivan has the job security he has.

The coach picks the lineup. It's Dubas' and ownerships fault that Sullivan remains employed. That's totally on them.

When the best 2 chances to score are from Colin White and Janson Harkins its a huge problem.
The transition game is hanging Jarry out to dry.Hardly any effort from the Forwards to Back Check at all.
Did Rakell even get the puck once?He simply can't be on the 3rd Line.
Graves was awful and Ruhwedel looking at the linesman instead of playing Defense is inexcusable.
Outside of an early shift from Rust and a turnover created from the 4th Line there was very little from any of these guys in the Offensive Zone.

There is no way that Dubas watches this game and says, Yes! let's keep Jake and trust that this team will make the playoffs and go on a run....it ain't happening KD! Only hope is to fire the coach and hope they get a boost from that.

Once they started raving about Harkins and White during training camp it set this into motion.
Puustinen and Poulin should both be on the active roster.The albatross that is Carter's contract obviously piays a role in the roster management but to continue to play these 2 does nothing to help the team night in,night out.

Harkins first game after he was claimed in camp was actually really good. He was hitting everything that moved. He doesn’t do that now.

Looks like this will be another game where we don’t score more than 3 goals. Haven’t scored more than 3 goals since January 8th.

To be fair that’s only 10 games ago and half of them have been 3 goals scored.

Get Karlsson on the first PP group.Stop blaming him for its year long failure Sully.The guy is one of the best Offensive Defensemen this League has seen.
