I worked hard today and am feeling it big time.
I didn't think I'd be rewarded with this Chit-Show.

Me too.

Forget the pretty pass plays and get SOG's 
They can go back to them once we get a couple goals or 3.

how can a team be this enept on a powerplay  

[Alexandron]

Time to score on Suter penalty.

[wildstars95]

That's what he was brought in for. At least his are SOG's.

[wildstars95]

our playoff consists of 5-6-7 games   every year ...

[ClusterChuck]

Do we know what a 1-timer is?
Every cross pass like that we have to dust it off first.

Unfortunately, Oettinger stopped them all.

Would've been fun to see a goalie battle this series instead of Special Teams.

[Alexandron]

Our 17 shots vs their 17 shots on goal so far.

[wildstars95]

they have to target playoff performers for next season ..like tyler toffoli

and 3 legit centers

Just got home from a graduation event for a daughter.  Yeesh.  Looks dismal.  The upside if we lose this series is that BG and DE will likely junk their 'competitive rebuild' and go young.  We just don't have enough fire power in the playoffs when teams can eliminate (or cheap shot Kap).  You just HAVE to more offensive threats, and Kirill doesn't look 100% (though guys have missed several goals on passes from him).  They need more talent to play with him, or I am afraid he will leave us at the end of the contract.  McD has Draisaitl, but also Nugent Hopkins and complementary players.  We just have too many role players on Lines 1 and 2.  Need Ohgren, Rossi, Yurov, Khusnutdinov to get development time ASAP before we burn too many years of Kap's contract.  I am tired of the grinders that cannot convert in Playoffs.

Kirill does, but they seem to forget that in the playoffs.  We are also a mentally fragile team in the playoffs.  Any misfortune and we cave after a few solid games.

[Alexandron]

No luck again with our PP.

You create your own luck....unless you are on the Wild.  Our system sucks, however.

Seeing that way too often.

[ClusterChuck]

Oettenger's going to get a SO tonight.

Also losing Foligno 2 minutes in deflated them.

Is Joe Pavelski back yet?
