I'm not sure how many more saves you want out of the kid. Maybe the second goal last night but that was more on Provorov than anything. Kid made a heck a play as well. It's a shooting gallery on Hart and Jones every night. They might have one win if it wasn't for those two. The team has averaged 1.67 goals per game in their last 18. You could have Patrick Roy in net and not win many games with that stat. Sounds like Hart is in the running for Team Canada so he must be doing something right. Agreed he has been playing much better than last season...and I'm glad he is in there I would just like to see him tighten up on some of those that "he wants back" as the announcers stated...he can make 10 ridiculous saves...but one softy can deflate the crowd, the team around him...the great news is that he has the right mindset and is constantly working to better himself...early on teams were sticking it past him as he wasn't covering the post well...he seems to have corrected that... to your point about scoring....agreed...our big guns have not been getting it done... and it begs the question..why have they been so horrible in second periods? this is mystifying...

Goblin99 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I read the part about "our big guns ...." and I thought do we really have big guns? I mean yeah we rely on G to score but I dont think we have big guns which is our problem on this team. I so miss the days when this Team did have Big Guns!

Rasmus is hold/cold..when he plays well..he shows what he can be...he just needs to be consistent and I think he will get there.... JVR : Cold Couts: Cold Lindblom: Cold TK: cold Yandle: not showing the skills we know he has..If he can't contribute offensively, then his signing was a waste... Hart: playing Good..not great..still giving up goals where the announcers comment: "He'd like to have that one back" (Why can't WE ever find an Igor Shesterkin?..well actually we did but he plays for Florida...) Allison's injury was unfortunate because he and Farabee started to show some chemistry at the end of last season. Was really looking forward to seeing that again. And Now Farabee will be out for..who knows... What is up with Cam York? he just seemed to vanish... MacEwen Braun, and Laughton seem to be carrying the team right now, and I don't mean in terms of scoring, but in terms of effort and energy. JVR and Lindblom are so frozen they are like the permafrost . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Well soft or uninspired we are about to see what they are made of... ...5 games in the next 7 days. Brutal. Time to rise to the occasion or fall by the wayside and continue the plunge into the abyss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
