K-9

To me, the most egregious indictment of Krueger was when DG took over after 13 consecutive losses (iirc) and said it would still be a couple weeks before we see some kind of improvement because the guys weren’t in shape to play hockey and conditioning was the most important thing to focus on. Weren’t. In. Shape. I’m embarrassed to say I ever bought into one second of RK’s bs.

I agree, but we aren’t talking about last season having an impact on this season. It’s about where the team has trended over the course of a decent sample size of games. You said you needed to see a 20 game trend. I submit we’ve seen that and then some since last February. There’s no denying the improvement.

If win percentage carried over from one season into the next doesn’t count, how about other stats like consecutive games scoring a goal scoring or point streaks?

With all these five man rotations the last three games, it seems like everyone is playing with everyone, anyway.

Don’t look now, but that’s five straight games with high quality NHL goaltending. The old man was stellar between the pipes tonight.

Great minds, Thorny. Great minds. What can I say?

That desperation can often work against you.

Canucks improving though as they didn’t surrender any two goal leads tonight. Progress Beaudreau, progress.

Dahlin with a sick play to set up VO!

Girgs! Empty netter.

I was able to do the same thing after my morning coffee yesterday.

Everyone on this team needs to practice Dahlin’s pop fly D zone clear after being hemmed in. Decision making still not where it should be tonight.

Ollie! Pretty sure that one counts.

Hiney! That was huge! Never mind.

I recall DG saying that players need to learn to pace themselves during a game to conserve competitive energy. I’m hoping that was one of those periods. But we stopped moving our feet and our decision making sucked in that period so I’m hoping it isn’t a matter of fatigue setting in. This is the third game in a row where they’ve had to play with 5 D for the majority of the game. I wonder if that takes a physical toll after a while.

That sucked.

I’m don’t know who offered up a five month recovery, I only only know you offered up a worst case, doom and gloom diagnosis when nobody knows squat about Mule’s injury. Do you play a doctor on TV or stay at a Holiday Inn Express recently?

Tre will be back against the Packers next Sunday.

No need to go there.

It is for Beaudreau.

Phuck! That doesn’t look good.

Need to see Quinn pot one tonight.

That’s why Duffer always carries a dragon glass shiv in his pocket.

I can live with that if he keeps playing like he is in all situations. Marty has White Walker eyes.

I recall Risto several years ago in Calgary. Can’t think of one since though.
