Thread: Get out of the funk
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_K</b></div><div>That seems to be the hope based on the comments I read from Schenn and Faulk. They said it takes hard work but can switch with just one game. I have faith but there have been underlying issues all season that have been mostly covered up by an amazing PP and Husso being a brick wall. I just want to see them hit their peak and then maybe Army will find a way to add at the TDL. Or not, I just hate the Jekyll/Hyde that the Blues always give us.</div></div>

Every team goes through stretches, even the media's ponyboy Colorado has lost 3 of 4. I think what's most frustrating is looking at all of the separation we could have put between us and Dal/Nsh/Min. We could have essentially locked in home ice 1st round.

Thread: Just sell this team isnt competing
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>xercuses</b></div><div>why its a rough strecth everyone has them
we just came off a huge hot streak
we will be fine, this is actually good its shown us our weakness and now army will fix it</div></div>

Ehhh I would have agreed up until about 2 weeks ago. turnovers, particularly in our own zone, lead to most goals against early on, and they still are a issue (barbys pass in the 3rd prime example) but as of late we are getting smoked along the boards. Not just talking about the hit buchy took tn, but we are losing board battles in all 3 zones. That’s why we can’t hardly sustain any offense or cycle the puck and have to rely on scoring off the rush. Not saying we have an identity crisis after a 2 week stretch of bad hockey but this might be a deeper issue with roster construction. Sunnys inability to execute at 80% health is a huge issue we shouldn’t overlook either. Anyways, we will learn a lot over the next 12 days or so. Not sure if the rumors are true but looking at a guy like Owen Tippett might makes sense on the ever changing 4th line.

Thread: Brutal to watch
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Feedback from Devils fan.

1. I didn't think #6 looked as out of position at times as #41.
2. Binnington didn't look bad (the McLeod goal was flukey as the hooking actually made it look like a fake shot and he whiffed. The Hischier to Sharangovich goal probably isn't stopped by anyone. The Vesey goal, who knew he had that in him). Binnington still played better than Gillies.
3. Kostin looked great. Physical and was finding open space. Devils defense were clearly bothered by him when he was on the ice.
4. Thomas/Kyrou seemed to take the night off. Thomas had a couple good rushes in 3rd period, but otherwise didn't hear their names much.</div></div>

I heard their names after turning the puck over a bunch. Kostin had a solid game, needed to or he was going to lose his spot. Our PP was also ugly but that wasnt a huge shock after a long break. To me it was the gap coverage through the neutral zone. Way too many slot shots against. That backhand goal was a beauty though, almost Datsyukian
