Another flat start. Ottawa has been playing well lately. Don't pick it up it's going to be another defeat.

 

[Jeremiad]

Let's make them pay.

 

[ZBBM]

Good work there Brown.

You're my sunshine.

 

[freer]

Well this the second home game with a garbage first period. They need to improve!

 

[Jeremiad]

Brown with the incredible PK'ing right there.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

"The Russian, whatever his name is!"

Marincin isn't Russian.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Cherry again reminding the world of the little known Jeff Carter.

 

[Kin]

I know he wears baggy suits and so he appeals to the beer and poutine crowd but seriously what use is Ron McLean if he's not even going to point out Marincin is from Slovakia?

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Ron sure hard rimmed those dribbling balls tonight.

 

[freer]

I have no problem with Don on most night, this was the better nights. No rants.

Were you impressed with their first period? It was no better than the last 3. Reilly's injury makes a difference but not to the extent we r seeing the last 3 games. They were lucky to beat Buffalo. The Ranger game well let's not go there and only 1 period tonight but besides Nylander and Andersen the rest of the team was absent.I thought they would have come out better than this after Thursdays game but it is what it is.

Ok IMO the whole should be up for this game, it is a best recent rivalry that we should make a stronger start against some team which we are chasing.. IMO again I blame the coach for that.

I think you're over reacting again, as you are prone to do.

I think the Bozak line and the Gauthier line could have been better and the defense is understandably a work in progress.

I think the refs screwed them a little in the first too.

Honestly, it seems like you come here and take out whatever frustrations you have on the team, which is your prerogative, but expect at least a little razzing about it.

The razzing doesn't bother me. The lack lustre play does. I understand there are going to be days when the other team flat out deserves to beat you but when the effort isn't there that's unacceptable. Coach definitely needs to be a motivator but ultimately it falls on the players. 

 

[ZBBM]

Bozak is not that bad a player y'all.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Bozie!

It always amazes me how often you see a player take a pass like that and score when surrounded by like 3 or 4 players on the other team who can't do a thing.

They had to kill six minutes of penalties and were fouled constantly with almost nothing called and even at that the Matthews and Kadri lines had good periods, I think you've got unreasonably high expectations.

 

[ZBBM]

I think the team is back-checking way better of late.

 

[azzurri63]

Bozak is not that bad a player y'all.

I think he gets a bad rap for the most part. He was highly touted coming out of college but he never was going to be a point a player game. Good in the faceoffs, contributes offensively thats what you get. If he had a bit more size and toughness be even better I think but I've been pleased with him since we got him and at a decent price.
