I hate that shultz/streit pair.  

 

 

Never have you spoke truer words, dear God i hate to watch those two in their own zone....i cringe every time one of them touches the puck...and i'm not going to lie i actually like Schultz better in that instance (i can not believe i just typed that but it's true i see Streit now as nothing but a liability now sorry....can't wait till he is gone.

Sad to see the damn begin to crumble after a Neuvy brain fart (kind of feel sorry for him he has played so well this season)...they fought hard but let's be honest...it isn't a very talented team and most of the skilled guys are young sort of (only excuse i can muster right now) especially on the backend to be able to support the forwards....you could wipe out the whole defense and keep Ghost and start over and i'd be ok with it. It was very glaring i thought with their inability to even set up and hold the offensive zone WITH AN EXTRA MAN!!!! 

 

Please no more talk of trade Giroux tonight it was obvious to even Stevie Wonder despite his size he is hands down the best forward on this team. PERIOD!

 

They will get better eventually but not till some of this junk is cleared from this roster and some of the skilled kids come in.

 

No way Provorov doesn't make this squad next year....no friggin way.
