slasher72 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 How about that... yea, at this point I'd do a backflip if we could have a goalie as good as Vanacek's backup. Nevermind Vanacek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don’t hate that effort. Almost 40 shots against a Caps team that usually dominates the Devils. And the young guns scored. Goaltending was the difference once again. Not that Daws was particularly bad or anything, but 4 goals on 22 shots is tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slasher72 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Earth to Fitz.....in the offseason please do the following.... 1. Dump this entire coaching staff 2. Trade Zacha for a second round pick 3. Get an NHL goalie, and no that doesnt mean an injured 34 year old journeyman from the Canadiens 4. Draft a scoring winger or defenseman Thank you.

Little mistakes like that can turn a game, and that one did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 It’s kind of scary to think Ty Smith might not even be an upgrade over what’s in Utica… that’s a pretty good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I want to note also, on the power play and on the 6 on 5, we are still trying to sling the puck through every single player on the ice and it is almost never a pass that connects. Just fling it through and hope something happens. No team we play uses this strategy. This too is a coaching issue I would like to see resolved. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I’ve always been much higher on Severson than 99% of this board. I’ve had my fair share of “done with him” moments, but that’s just frustration in the GDT’s. He’d be extremely hard to replace, especially for that type of $. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajsgolf Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Need at least 3 goalies because I’ve seen enough to know Blackwood will never be again what people think he once was. Unless Daws drastically improves he should not be considered a close reliable backup. Play in the defensive zone is mostly atrocious, need at least 3 defenseman. Just don’t see this team improving much next year either if Fitz continues whatever the hell he’s doing/not doing. Players like Hughes and Bratt will quickly feel like a McDavid/Draisatl, not comparing talent, but just the fact that their careers will quickly feel like it came and went without any postseason experience. I feel for McDavid, unless something changes quickly in Edmonton I have to feel he’d want a trade or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlman Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) I’m really wondering how and why Ty Smith is considered a highly rated prospect. Besides being beyond awful this season, you can’t even say ‘yeah he’s bad but at least he’s got a burgeoning skill set’. His skill set doesn’t seem any greater than a Butcher’s or a Peter Harrold’s. Unless he has the biggest turnaround ever seen in player development, I just don’t see it with him beyond anything other than a 6th defenseman at best.
