Zacha with the fancy goal!!!

Again, idIgive Appleby another look. He wasn't bad ....

No fairrrrrrr!!!!

Goalie needs to give us a chance to win, we had no chance the past 2 games. Only reason we won Saturday was because the team dominated.

So true...

we need some wall like performances at the net. Cory is far from dominant however he's an upgrade for sure

Great work again by Zacha... he's rising up now... I just wish we can turn the positives into wins for the team...

It's a shame, his emergence in 2018 has been squandered for the most part.

with our struggles of late becoming a consistent issue, will this affect Shero come deadline?

I honestly didn't anticipate much one way or another so I say no. It's great that we're in the playoff picture but I don't see him sacrificing assets on rentals or selling anything major. Our core is intact, I think any big moves will be made in the offseason..

It is easy to say that we are better team this year. But goalies give us issues. They had only 1 shutout so far and allow to many easy ones. In addition, defense doesn't have stability throughout the whole game. If we can improve that, maybe by some trades or goalie replacement for more solid one, we can be the team going far to playoff.

F lack

 

[Nasty_Magician]

We suck.

 

[CalamityX11]

What a complete downward spiral..

We're falling and doing nothing to offer resistance. Not to mention no luck n horrible NHL officiating.

F lack... Why Appleby sent down never cleared with me. Idk wtf they are doing on the coaches end.

Pp is horrible, defense continue to be shit. But body language n no grit. We're soft again.

I honestly wonder how much has to do with the goaltending. It has to be deflating having no confidence in the guy back there.

If i'm watching the game with zero confidence in the goal tending, I could only imagine what it feels like for the players....

especially when some are going hard and trying to bring confidence and a fighting surge to the team.

We definitely need Corey back ASAP. He's no Marty, but he's clearly better than what we are trotting out there now.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

We have also had terrible luck during this 2-3 week stretch. Seems any close call goes against us, not getting the breaks etc. There are some guys playing pretty well, yesterday we managed to score 3 goals against an outstanding Bruins team. Just subpar goaltending and bad luck/calls are too much to overcome.

i really just have no words. i have never seen two worse goalies ever! its insane when they do the starting goalies and you see kinkiad with a 3+gaa and a sub .880 %! wtf are you kidding me? this goalie fiasco is 10000000000% on shero. there is noway he shouldve resigned kinkaid this year none! lack isnt better at all but i honestly do feel better at starting him over kinkaid.

your telling me that kinkaid and lack are top 62 goalies in the world? not a chance! i really wish they kept wedgewood and or call apple back up and give him a shot.

dont even get me started on the roster choices that hynes puts out there. stafford on the pp? in the final min? lovejoy constantly? santini in the minors over him? just enough already

 

[CalamityX11]

Lack should never have been there. Appleby looked more confident and reliable than Lack. I rather roll with Appleby than Lack if it came down to it.

 

[TheSgtDabbs]

I feel like the team definitely over-achieved in the first half of the season and it's really showing. Yes, Cory being out for a while has hurt, but you can see the difference in the rest of the team, outside of Hall.

Playoffs are still an option I suppose, in whatever value we put on being booted in the first round. Still a rebuild, and one that is probably ahead of schedule but just not there yet.

What was the hold up?
