IGT 11/19 Blackhawks @ Flames Official In Game Thread

[Capt. Serious]

This is how we perform against the 2nd worst team in the West?

Come the **** on, Edmonton was a joke and no one should feel confident after the win on Wednesday. Lazy play and too many stupid fucking penalties.

They're better than Edmonton.

Maybe Scotty Bowman should make a trip up from Florida to talk to the coaching staff and inform them how to get this team playing like we should be. Weather Coach Q wants to hear it or not I don't give a ****, respect the Rings Scotty is the best hockey mind in the history of the sport.

Hence the reason I said they are the 2nd worst team in the West.... duh.

waldo?

waldo?

Sorry... brain fart.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Just a little fun...that's all.

 

[Matthew]

We should trade Brouwer or Bolland to send a message to this locker room and let the players know we expect a consistent NHL level effort every night. It is like we have 18 Alexi Kovalevs skating tonight.

 

[Captain Iago]

Good to see Toews getting fiesty with Regehr and not another white sweater anywhere near approaching those two.

 

[Captain Iago]

Pulled Turco with 4 left.

 

[Matthew]

What do you know another turnover, and then no effort by anyone to get back on help clean up the play. This is fucking pathetic.

 

[Captain Iago]

hah. hatty for Iginla. great pass Hammer.

 

[Matthew]

**** you Chicago... if you don't want to play hockey go to the locker room and open a beer.

 

[Matthew]

How about we trade Bolland and Brouwer for picks opening up cap space for Makarov, Smith, Beach, Morin, and Leddy.... let players who want to play hockey wear the Indian Head.

 

[Capt. Serious]

hah. hatty for Iginla. great pass Hammer.

Yeah, Turco gave up a laser beam of a shot. :rolling:

 

[Matthew]

Seriously everyone should just leave the ice and let Jake Dowell and Jack Skille play 2v5. No one else seems to care.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Reviewing a goal in a blow out? Seriously?

What about Mr. getting a huge pay raise this year Niklas Hjalmersson not being able to do anything this year except block shots. He has really been bad.

There was at least one guy who still hangs around here who pretty much was giddy when they matched SJ's offer sheet. If I recall correctly - used it as an avatar and a sig; and now this particular fan is relegated to bitching about Cullimore.

Hell at least Cullimore is earning his paycheck...

a 3.5 million dollar defenseman is not supposed to be a pointless wonder pulling a -10 rating ... that doesn't even cut it as a stay at home defenseman -- in fact I am not at all sure what that is -other than, probably SJ dodging a bullet.

Ok- well enough on that; I'm not sure trading Brouwer sends any message other than you want him off the team (which is fine -same with the other guy); only pointing that out as I don't think trading a couple of role playing guys is going to light a fire under anyone, if they can't get up for 2 games in a row, there isn't much you are going to be able to do with this group.

 

[Matthew]

Ben Smith > Dave Bolland

Jermey Morin > Troy Brouwer

Nick Leddy > Jassen Cullimore

Makarov > Pisani

Beach > Bickell

Trade Bolland and Brouwer for picks open up cap space to improve this team now.

Edit- ah for cap space - well I get cap space ... that is a different story ... motivation seems to be an issue at this point.

So - I agree with you there -lighting a fire by removing certain zombies (or at least giving it a try)... it can be a solution (can't be worse than standing pat).
