Made me forget how inept Sacco was.

I would say attendance more than timeliness. There are many times where they don't show up until the third period.

Made me forget how I wanted to kick Hejda in the balls.

You may say that the Avs are hurting from Downie, Landeskog and O'Reilly not being in the line up.
That's a fair assumption.

But I've never seen such bad play with the puck exasperated by the fact that there is absolutely no direction or semblance of thought in where they should go or what they should be doing with the puck by guys being paid way too much to be doing this.

Sacco almost looked amused after that third goal. And that's when I turned it off.

[Appleanche]

This D is so laughable,m they mainly just sit around and can NEVER read plays. God I hate this team...

[crue7]

Still wanna break ALL of Saccos legs.

Im so embarrassed to be a fan of this team

John Garrett dissing Hejduk now. Sadly, it's true. He was done last season and it's even more obvious this season.

I think he just lost his confidence considering the defence he has in front of him. Our team is so soft its not even funny. We're getting manhandled and teams are making it look so see. It's gonna be a longggg season guys.

Yup.. and my friends are all Leaf fans

What's PAP doing out there?

[The Pwnerer]

Maybe a lockout would have been better suited then this sad team.

[TheFactor]

Look on the bright side guys..... SETH JONES!!!!!

[ChrisNI]

Wonder if players like Varly would rather have stayed in the KHL, etc at this rate....

[Freudian]

I know people here have zero patience with Barrie but I want him to play every single game. His skating, passing is miles ahead of pretty much every non-EJ Johnson defenseman and he's not afraid to jump into the play. We still have four spots for useless defensive guys even if he plays.

[Alex Jones]

Joe Sacco is an idiot. Maybe he should be an NHL ref.

Well we might have been screwed out from a top 5 pick. Better to suck in the games, then give it in lottery hands.

Kind of wish he did. It would've been better for his development, I can't imagine his KHL team would stand around like idiots as other teams send in 5 players to jam in the puck.

To whoever asked what Jones did during the lockout:
