Hopefully Tambo gets hit in the head with a puck as well, and starts trading some of these guys. Needs to get max value for players like Gagner, Hemsky and Barker. Should be another 6-9 player changes for next year. And the coaching sucks.
Veterans just let this team down, on for 3 goals, 2 or 3 penalties by hemsky, ridiculous lazyness by smyth
Krueger is terrible at motivating and line matching as evidenced by our starts and the fact that canucks matched us easily all night, maybe 2 or 3 shifts where we got the matchup
Goaltending was normal for us, which is terrible, Dubnyk could have had all 3 of those goals on him
Top line was good and got the most TOI I think, and they deserved it, only line who seemed to be able to leave the zone

By top line do you mean Hall-Gagner-Eberle? They sucked tonight and sucked last game but it's fine because they have been good for a long time before that, i'm just calling it as i see it.

I thought Hemsky and Paajarvi were much better than Hall, Eberle and Gagner.
As a positive (not many tonight) I thought MPS looked better. He was getting into positions to get some chances and not being as much of a peripheral player. Hopefully he keeps building on that and improves his offensive game. Getting another goal has to give him a little more confidence as well.

Exactly..The kids are allowed to have some bad games and Hemsky and Magnus played decent, especially Hemmer...There were some worse players...especially on D...Perhaps Petry was the strongest but not much from the rest..and the goaltending..
I'm starting to question if we even want to sign Smyth next year, even if it's dirt cheap.
He can't play top 6, he can't play bottom 6. So where do you put him? And when you talk about veterans and leadership and hard work and blah blah BLAH... that ain't him.
