Boldy need work on the 4x6 zone. 

[wildstars95]

boldy can't hit the net 

[ClusterChuck]

Low % passing going on by everyone.

[Tomdog]

[ClusterChuck]

Wow a +58 goals for 5 0n 5 and this year a -10.

Offsides???

[Tomdog]

I think they must have wanted a tv time out.

But they really should have had the draw at center ice?

[Tomdog]

That seemed like kind of a weak hooking call to me.

Need to stay out of the box…

[ClusterChuck]

C'mon Shaw...Clear that thing. 2 chances and weak attempts/

Isn't that somewhat of a coaching thing?

He wanted to feed Dewar for a break away. Bet he hears about that when he gets to the bench.

It’s a discipline thing, so probably, yes…

[ClusterChuck]

Lol Boldy, Nice hit but he's showing lack of discipline lately with his actions.

[Tomdog]

I like the way Boldy handled that.

[Tomdog]

This is looking like a goalie dual.

Me too, He had to do something. Frustration showing too.

[ClusterChuck]

Our East-West passing is failing big time. Try something else.

He absolutely IS frustrated.  He does not have talented help on his line and is now flailing around a lot.  The Fiala loss is huge for him, and for our overall scoring.  What a bone-headed move; just move Dumba and keep Fiala.  Since you didn't, give Boldy SOMEONE with scoring/set-up ability.  I don't want to see PUDreau on Boldy's line ever again (and certainly not Kaps); he is ZERO offensive threat (chokes all momentum off).  Bring up Rossi and play him with Kap/Zucc, and Walker and Beckman with Boldy.  Hartman plays with EEK (Greenway traded, on 4th line or in stands).  Foligno comes back, and he plays with Hart and EEK.  After 54 games, Steel can hit waivers or 4th line, and PUDreau can play on EEK line until a Greeway trade, and then decide who are the two most productive to play with EEK; Foligno, Hartman, PUDreau, the lose hits the 4th line with DeWar (not much to see with Shaw and DuHaime - they have not impressed after 54 overall).  We just have to bring up the skill.  We have Mgmt. that moves WAY TOO SLOW to make changes.

Skill issues abound

[Tomdog]

The game that they scratched Reeves had Steel with Dewar and Shaw.

That line looked pretty good for a 4th line.

Not the answer but better than what we have now.

That Boldy between Kap and Zucc after a penalty kill looks so good, I can't understand why they don't give it a try.

[wildstars95]

 no more penalty's boy's

Fiala was going to get a pay raise so that ruled him out unless there was a way to extend payments somehow. But yeah, Keeping Dumba wasn't one of BG's finest moments.
Yes, we've seen the skill we have and need more of that back here. Too many 'Set-up' guys and few finishers. The last time we played well was when DuHaime and Hartman were out and those who came up produced or at least helped create a winning attitude.

I thought selfie's weren't allowed. 

[Tomdog]

with the limited 4th line playing time I will be able to be the sober ride tonight.
