  1. Does Mr. Magoo realize players can play their off-handed wing better sometimes?
  2. Seriously…three home losses against the California garbage, one against Columbus and another against the Habs for starters. Hell we’ve had two worse home losses against THIS team. And we’ve seen what these a$$holes can do when they’re engaged like the Boston/Colorado games, a couple of road trips and Saturday.
  3. It worked early in the season, but that’s when we had A+ Jack
  4. Who would have thought after April last year that Daws might be the real goalie for the future in the organization lol
  5. I was worried about Nico's offense early in the year after he slumped to end last year, but he's definitely picked it up again the last two months.
  6. And this is different from the last three months how lol
  7. It's even worse traveling there now than it was before lol, before was bad enough crossing three lanes at high speed and having a sh!tty wait to get out, but now you're either taking the train from Secaucus/Newark with a long wait or paying a premium for one of the few spots left there.
  8. It really is amazing how bad they screwed themselves with everything from the super late release of the jerseys to the super late delivery of them to the lack of jerseys actually available. If you're gonna do something like this with dopey new designs all over the place, why the hell wouldn't you be ready to make as much money as possible off it? I'm glad I'm not a jersey person, one less aggravation from this season I suppose. I actually do think they'll show up for this one and that we'll get the 2022-late 2023 elite version of Jack tonight - especially since I'm not going lol, but I'm also paranoid we'll fry Daws on his fourth game in six days and this'll be another game we moan about a 'goalie loss' which will only amp up the pressure on Fitz more on a potential Markstrom deal. Might as well have played Schmid Thursday if they weren't gonna show up for that game anyway.
  9. Unlike Jack’s it wasn’t an accurate chirp though, just a lame one. There was a reported number of 16,105 on Thursday and it seemed like one of the least full games of the season.
  10. When they continue to go balls up time after time after time at home against poor teams, how is that NOT an effort issue? It’s not like all these games they outshoot teams 40-12 and lose on three bad Vitek goals despite that being the narrative for half the season. Especially doing it now when you’re on the outside of the playoff bubble 2/3 into the season. Continually getting scored on first and having bad first periods is also more than just an indictment on the fossil coach. Even a lot of the games they win they manage to do it off one or two moments of skill (the Luke game against Columbus for example) but they haven’t been able to sustain a stretch of playing well. I finally had some hope they were doing that after the break before they again took a step back last night against a team that’s been trash for a prolonged stretch and just lost 7-0…to Buffalo. Do better than getting outshot 23-10 or whatever it was late in the second period. We’ve lost to every crappy California team at home as well as Montreal and Columbus, among others. Last night should have been 5-1 like the Ducks game if Daws didn’t have one of the handful of best goalie games this year. It’s fine to blame Mr. Magoo behind the bench and the crappy goalie who didn’t play last night but the other players need to take their share of heat for their underachieving this year too.
  11. Yeah right until the Markstrom trade becomes official lol Sounds like a deal is closer, I’m prepared not to like this deal even though Fitz usually does well enough in trades.
  12. Good lol, some dudes are just sick in the head and he’s got an attention needy complex besides
  13. Solid games? Everyone outside of Daws, Nemec and maybe a couple other bit guys no showed the first 35 minutes. Guys like Mercer were even worse than that, he’s actively played his way out of the ‘core player’ talk this year. It’s ironically only after Jack got targeted that they woke up but even against bad teams you’re not going to win games with twenty minutes of effort. The Devils should know by now, they completed the gauntlet of losing to every California team at home. And while Timo has been a Kovalsuck esque disappointment early in his contract, I hope the mitigating circumstances (injury, the galaxy brain coach playing him at his ‘handed’ wing) are as big a cause as him just…sucking. Hopefully we’ll find out the answer sooner rather than later.
  14. Twitter is fine for breaking news and seeing stuff from people who you want to see content from…but I avoid both the comments section and actually interacting like the plague.
  15. It’s more a pushback against this board (just like our head coach) refusing to criticize him at all - not to mention frustration with the team in general. Especially when I got accused of being anti Jack after specifically saying he had two bad weeks and needed to pick it up. Now two bad weeks has turned into a few, which I didn’t think would happen then We saw this same script against the Ducks, rough him up and frustrate him and he spends time complaining to the officials instead of getting back in the play. When the best player goes in and out of games, is it a big surprise when the rest of the team is wildly inconsistent at best too? Yes obviously he had reason to be annoyed with the elbow but you gotta channel the anger better than canceling out a PP in a tie game and giving up a rush at the other end complaining to the refs.
  16. Only difference is we lose more often to sh!tbag teams at home. Boston, Colorado - no problem…but then these idiots trip over their dicks against every sh!tty California team, Columbus, Montreal etc at home And Jack if you’re gonna lose your cool and chirp some two bit a$$hole then you’d better back it up and not be invisible around one near miss, he’s been just as unfocused as anyone else since mid December. The coach should have been canned weeks ago for all these dumbass no shows but ironically Jack is likely the reason he isn’t.
  17. Jack since the Vancouver game in early December: 5 goals and 7 assists with a -9 in the previous sixteen games which includes the hat trick game in Columbus. He hasn't 'been doing Jack things' for a while, hopefully tonight is the start of him being focused again and not sulking over the team's sh!tty goaltending and system.
  18. I mean they have to actually make the playoffs first before we pronounce Lindy off the hot seat and that's not exactly a sure thing. It doesn't exactly look good they both needed a REAL belated system change to get going, and the system change immediately paid dividends when everyone outside of this coaching staff knew weeks and months ago you needed to simplify sh!t having greenhorns on defense, shaky goalies and a revolving door of forwards.
  19. Does anyone in this organization face accountability? Besides Holtz?
  20. Fitz doesn't need a card for himself now that he's extended but his goodwill with the fans and the media's gonna run out very quickly if he doesn't nuke some people after this sh!tshow of a season, the sooner the better.
  21. Too late, he's already pissed away the season being Mr. Do-little
  22. I do wonder what Bastian is thinking tbh since he and MM were close
  23. Especially now that we've come back to even more bullsh!t dropping re: McLeod and his role in the HC scandal
  24. You're not wrong but tbh what Lou did went beyond the whole 'just changing the voice' deal, he completely changed the message and mindset of the team. Whether it works or not, who knows but Roy comes off as the polar opposite of Lambert stylistically and attitude-wise. It might take a little time even if it does work out.
