Second Line Center

Goaltending matters. Maybe that's really all this team needs is a goalie to make them feel like they don’t have to be perfect mistake free.

Cozens face off loss.

Cozens another assist so far tonight. 3 more hits. They’re up 3-1 after 2. 7 points in 8 games since the trade.

The fact he was allowed to make the trade is an absolute abomination. We have passed the New York Jets as the worst run North American professional sports franchise.

Eichel scored the potential winner - then they tried to rub salt by forcing him the empty netter - and we took it personal. REMEMBER THIS DAY FOLKS!! This is the day we COULD look back on and say they finally grew a set and

The sequence of the year

Yea I thought Hertl did that on his own

Hertl is going to be bag skating probably tonight.

F them for trying to get Jack the empty netter

Lol Vegas

All the more reason he needs a strong Team President and GM. So of course, he refuses to do this. This off season he’s going to learn for the first time he has a team that no longer believes in him and the organization. It used to be - the coach, the players were too young, Jack got the C too soon, ROR lost his love of the game, or we just had bad goaltending. This is different now. I think this team was sad when Granato got fired. The GM hired a guy I’m pretty sure the owner told him to hire. The players see it’s a joke. The GM had the disaster palm trees press conference. They’ve quit. This is a bad combination of soft guys, young guys, one real “hate losing more then love winning guy,” and low hockey IQ guys - that doesn’t show up on the analytics. Strong GMs figure this out.

Cozens another point tonight. It was all him tho.

I’ve been saying this since the start of last season. We will get where we need to be when Power reaches his potential. You just can’t be as bad as we were, end up with the first overall pick and it bust.

Love Rasmus the talent. But…..he clearly has not developed properly. The mistakes he makes are the ones a guy of his talent makes are undisciplined - accustomed to losing. If he’s what we think he is - this just should not be happening. NO TEAM with D man like we think he is, is supposed to be this BAD. And this scrum….if he called for it, then acts shocked at the question about Biz’s comments - when he called for the scrum?? WTH is that? That’s not captain/leadership material it just isn’t. Then THE TEAM’S social media account posts his response - that pretty much confirms to me - he did say it and the team wanted him to publicly deny it. Everything about this team is a freaking debacle. EVERYTHING.

You cannot bring Adams and Ruff back. You just can’t.

Can’t imagine how bad it would be if we hadn’t traded Cozens. Adams has the full faith and trust of TP Problem is your players do not.

Kane plays his best vs us and it’s really freaking annoying.

Unreal

Incredible. One of my theories is these guys get extra juice from the arenas. Ours is DEAD. It’s been a morgue for years. Even watching these games - Dunleavy puts me to sleep. It could be the players I guess. Whole environment sucks.

Points in 3 straight games for Ottawa. 2 goals 1 assist. He hasn’t had points in 3 straight games since 2022. I’m sure it’s just a blip.

Im betting it was someone he talked to about the Cozens trade. He was probably told something like “everyone is mad. Even Dahlin met with KA over the trade. He voiced his frustration over the season and the team.” Something like that. Because I guarantee KA talked with Dahlin before making this trade.

Yes it absolutely would. Yet another player jettisoned to only flourish at his new destination. If this happens with Cozens and I expect it will, thats an indictment of the organization. ROR, Ullmark, Reinhart, Eichel, and a few others - I really like Zadorov. Further begs the question why is this organization so toxic.

Yep. TNT lazy TO led to that

When Tage is completely taken away by elite teams usually on the road bc they can match up their top D pair against him, we stink. Tage is a great player. He's not elite. He needs help from the 2nd line - tonight there is none.
