At this point I feel like a rubber necking traveler who wants to watch the carnage but sometimes just has to turn his head.

If I didn’t know better, I would say periods like that are what get coaches fired…
Not this one. He's got a lifetime long blank check due to back to back cups 7 years ago.

I’m really starting to feel sorry for Jarry. Tonight it looks like he will face over 50 shots. Between the deflections and the D not clearing the crease it’s impossible to do a good job.

Short of the Vegas game, I've seen nothing from this team that leads me to believe that they could beat any other team in the league in a 7 game series.

So what's with all the players coming here that always seem to fall off on their production, effectiveness, skill etc and the ones that leave and suddenly find a higher gear? Graves, Nieto, Acciari, even Karlsson, all seem like varying degrees of substandard or useless versions of their prior selves.

I get nauseous at the very thought that the stubborn man behind the bench may be neutering their play styles to the point where they just become generic dime-a-dozen players.

I seriously don't remember Matt Nieto being this bad of a hockey player. He always looks very useful in COL and even SJ. He offers literally nothing at the moment.

This team has underachieved for too long. Sullivan got too much of a pass last season because Hextall was an inept GM but this year it’s too much of the same. We are actually worse this year than we were this time last season.

TV and radio are synced up. Bourque not too happy with their panzy play.

Good shifts by the top 6 but we really need someone not named Crosby, Rust, Geuinztel or Geno to score a lot more.

Sid at 5v5 at the age of 36 in the NHL should be the 8th Wonder of the World. Just incredible.

These refs are garbage. Clear as day slash before Geno even took the shot

Looked like that so called beautiful pass was in Smith’s skates.
