THANK YOU!!!!!
I thought I was the only one who sees that. Most people usually disagree with me.
We DO have a more offensive team......playing DEFENSIVE hockey!! The way we played the Oilers yesterday in the last minute power play we managed to 4 on 5 get the puck not only out of our zone but into theirs BECAUSE WE PLAYED OFFENSIVE HOCKEY. Maybe the reason we are having problems scoring (with the exception of Parise) is because we spend soo much time doing nothing. God we don't even skate into the zone with the puck, we dump it like 95% of the time and go after it, yet like you said because there is no chemistry with the ever changing lines, no one is where they are supposed to be, so half the time the other team regains control.
We really need to keep atleast one line consistant, give them some sort of a chance, I know its hard since we have so many injuries but we aren't going to win games if the players don't know what to expect from each other. We can't even PASS well anymore!
Langenbrunner needs to be stripped of his C. Give it back to Elias, or god even to Parise since he's the only one who seems to be able to do anything! Langenbrunner gives up soo many pucks, misses so many passes, and doesn't DO anything...oh...wait.. he can take STUPID hooking penalties every game because he can't keep up with the younger faster players. Yet somehow he gets soo much ice time!
As for Parise, we really need to be using him more, We have one of the worst penalty kills in the league, Parise is an amazing puck handler, he fights for the puck, he actually does something with it...so why is he not on the PK? I know we need him for offensive plays so he needs to be rested but honestly it doesn't matter if we keep letting in power play goals, how many goals Parise scores (especially not when the rest of the team can't score)
We really need a coach who doesn't play favorites first off, knows what the word "consistancy" means and maybe idk smiles or something when the team does something right.
amen to that!
