Buckeyes are playing for a NC. I will pay no mind to this game.

And allow a goalie goal the next game.

Oh, there is talent here, but the whole is far less than the sum of its parts. I'm sure a large percentage of these guys could go on to be excellent players in a real hockey organization. But we have a nincompoop GM who doesn't give any consideration to putting a cohesive team on the ice. We have too many redundant pieces, no leadership, and a bunch of guys who have no idea how to win in this league. Then we have a bunch of store brand assistant coaches "coaching" these guys. It's mind boggling how poorly every segment of this organization is put together, from the owner, to the front office, to the coaches, all the way down to the players. And nothing will change because nobody in charge cares enough to do anything. And we're held hostage by their incompetence.

Just when you think they've outdone themselves... Seriously, what's next? Goalie hat trick? Having to put a Zamboni driver in net? Getting BEAT by a Zamboni driver in their net??? Yes, but he just got Angry Birds on his phone.

Goalie goal LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Because we can't pass or shoot.

Even if Pegula was to fire his boy (he won't), does anybody think he'll bring in anything other than another store brand GM?

Losing 4-1 with a 2/1 SOG advantage against a JAG goalie?

Hoping for some "Fire Adams" chants, but maybe apathy has fully set in?

Pretty much. This franchise isn't going anywhere until it receives an enema. Gut everything. Front office, coaching staff, scouting department, all of them. Then bring in somebody who knows how to actually build a functional hockey team and sell off redundant/useless players to the highest bidder. None of this will happen though, because this is not a serious hockey organization.

Another pathetic effort against a mediocre team. Fire Adams.

Don't do that to yourself.

You put even an average defense in front of UPL and he's probably in the top third of the league stats-wise. How many times do we see guys just allowed to unload from the slot with little resistance or a gaffe up ice lead to an odd man rush? This team is has horrible discipline and an even lower hockey IQ and the poor guy in net pays for it.

Turds.

I grab some dinner and come back to this? This team, man.

POWER

I wish the coaches would study Edmonton's power play. The way they scheme to get their weapons shots. Everything they do seems to be with a purpose. We always look so disorganized.

Lot of these guys are like that. We are really weak against the boards. Benson tries his ass off, but he usually gets out muscled. Just another flaw on Adams's roster construction.

Gawd I hate ESPN+. My feed is always so glitchy.

Hate the pens. Let's get this W, boys.

I mean the obvious reason is for a higher draft pick where you would presumably get a better prospect. But this team is loaded to the gills with prospects. What this team needs to learn how to do is WIN, so I don't see how tanking is more beneficial to this roster than learning how to actually close out games.

By the "thumbs down" reactions, maybe my sarcasm didn't translate to the typed word. lol

They'll probably choke on a bone.

They won't extend or re-sign him. Can't have him blocking the kids next year. Because the keys to an endless "rebuild" is to continuosly to stock the roster with young guys.
