It's not so bad... we were super super super unlucky not to win the Detroit game... that one really could have gone either way.

PP let us down tonight and the team seemed to sag when Rathbone's trip went uncalled.

Petey and Miller gotta step it up, they're kinda playing like shit out there. Yes I know Miller got 3 points in Philly but in general he's been pretty ass. Petey just looks timid and gets rubbed out on the boards constantly.

I think with Boeser back he gets in his groove and a couple bounces/calls go our way then things will pick up.

I'm not overly concerned. Start of the season, lots of new faces on the team, and have been missing several key guys. Also, starting the season on the road is always difficult.

If they are struggling after 10 games, then it will be time to worry.

[murd0c]

we are 4 games into the season with 40% of the team being new and they really didn't have a chance to play together in the preseason. I'm honestly not worried at all.

I think a bigger fail for this team now instead of the intro video are the defensive breakdowns during games.

This game could have easily been a 4-2 loss. Pitlick was that wide open on a partial breakaway. The goal post saved Demko on that scoring chance.

Green was shaking his head after the team gave up the third goal.

https://www.tsn.ca/kyle-beach-john-doe-1.1712468


-much respect to Kyle Beach for his great courage in speaking out in public about that piece of shit Aldrich. Gutsy, gutsy move by Beach.

I learned from parents of young children, a cousin of mine, that you can never be too careful these days with authority figures in organized sports for youth.

He told me that he never ever lets his sons in bantam level ice hockey have private one on one meetings with any coach because of the risk of abuse. -must have a parent or a trusted guardian as a third party in those types of meetings.

There are predators, and evil men in positions of authority such as coaches in team sports who can take advantage of their position to abuse young men, and women, in horrible and disgusting ways.

[68style]

Watching that interview was incredibly hard, I don't think there's a way anyone can watch it and not tear up or cry...

I can't believe the teammates that were saying homophobic slurs around him after it got out........... I can't believe Joel Quennville is going to coach a game tonight in the NHL.

[pastarocket]

The big question now is what the NHL and Bettman are going to do, if anything, to help Kyle Beach.

The guy is clearly not well mentally judging from the gut wrenching interview that I just saw on TSN.

Is the NHLPA under Don Fehr going to come up with measures, and a plan to better protect players from the risk of abuse from coaching staff?

Beach said that he was scared for his career. He said at the time as a 20 year old he did not know what to do after Aldrich sexually abused him. Beach said that he turned to drugs and alcohol. -tried to suppress those horrible memories.

part of the interview:

RW: I suppose it should also be pointed out that according to the report, that on multiple occasions, Don Fehr – the executive director of the NHL Players’ Association – was also made aware of concerns about Brad Aldrich’s misconduct and promised people to investigate and didn’t. So, would you hold him to the same standard?

KB: Absolutely, I would. He represents the players. I don’t know where I fall under the NHLPA – I never played games other than pre-season, but I was on an NHL roster when this happened, albeit as a Black Ace. I know I reported every single detail to an individual at the NHLPA, who I was put in contact with after. I believe two different people talked to Don Fehr. And for him to turn his back on the players when his one job is to protect the players at all costs, I don’t know how that can be your leader. I don’t know how he can be in charge. If that’s what he’s going to do when a player comes to you and tells you something, whether it be abuse, whether it be drugs, whether it be anything, you’re supposed to have the players’ backs and they definitely didn’t have mine.

[spoon.ek9]

yeah that was a really tough interview. you can see the pain and anguish it still causes Beach to recall what happened. there are some real pieces of shit in the NHL.

[sonick]

You guys are tough lol I thought it was pretty good and even the Facebook comments seemed to like it..

-shaking my head at this memo thing from Bettman:

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/nhl-sends-memo-teams-response-blackhawks-scandal/

You would think that the NHL executives and shorty (Bettman) would have learned something about protecting its players after former Bruins player Sheldon Kennedy went out in public to talk about the abuse he received as a hockey player.

Bettman announced that the league recently set up an anonymous "Hotline" for anyone person in the NHL to report abuse.
It took the NHL how many years to finally get this hotline up and running??

NHL Player Safety needs to include protecting players not only from physical injury but also mental trauma from abuse.

[Alpine]

It's the same as almost every other organization and corporation out there. It's all about protecting the organization, not employees. It's the reason why organizations employ lawyers & HR staff. One would think they are there to look out for the employees, but sadly, that's not the case.

The power play has no power now.

Petey’s game is flat because he missed training camp and played much fewer games than other players.

Injury to end last season for him. Then the pandemic. He has played less than 50 games in the past two seasons. Missing 30 games with a wrist injury put a dent in his game.

and the 2nd goal tonight on the PP.

[RiceIntegraRS]

How our PP is ranked 14th is mind blowing to me. It looks like its the worse PP in the league.

[68style]

It's disheartening in some ways... like... as a fan I sat back and I watched Edmonton play for awhile against Philly and I also watched about an hour of the Leafs game... guys like McDavid and Matthews/Marner (despite the fact they've both struggled to start the season) are so far above and beyond any skill on our team. SO far. We have nothing like that here... that's the thing that bothers me... and you can't just go out and get that, you have to draft it. Even Petey can't consistently look so dominant like those guys do.

I don't think the training camp excuse is valid after 8 games.............. he's just looking awful out there. He finally got a couple looks on the PP tonight but that was it... I can't wait for Green/King to put this whole Alex Chiasson thing to rest... when you watch the opposing team play us, they're so not afraid of Miller shooting they're shading THREE guys over to Petey's side... Of those 3 guys one of them stays high for Hughes so Hughes can't shoot but even that player shades toward Petey... so no one time pass to Petey is open... even if he does get it, the shot lane is closed... teams literally do not care if Miller gets the puck, they're happy to just go over toward him when he does get it but give up the shot to him. So, basically, Hughes and Miller just toss it back and forth endlessly.

They need to put Miller back to net-front, he's very adept at tips... and Boeser back in his spot becuase he is a legitimate shooting threat. It boggles my mind how the coaches can't see this.

[Alpine]

Our PP turns around when Chiasson is removed from it.

if they want to play Chiasson on the PP then stick him on the 2nd unit.

Wow, another lawsuit against an NHL team.

Shit is hitting the fan for the Penguins now.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/penguins-face-lawsuit-former-minors-coach-accused-sexual-assault/

A federal lawsuit filed by a former minor league assistant and his wife accuses the Pittsburgh Penguins of negligently retaining a coach who sexually assaulted and harassed her and then retaliating against him for reporting the incident.

Jarrod and Erin Skalde sued the Penguins nearly a year ago in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, alleging former Wilkes-Barre/Scranton coach Clark Donatelli molested Erin Skalde during an outing on a road trip in 2018. The team is the American Hockey League affiliate of the Penguins and is run by the NHL club.

They also allege that current Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin, who was GM for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and assistant GM for the Penguins at the time, asked Jarrod Skalde to keep the reason for Donatelli’s termination quiet and that the team punished Skalde for reporting the assault and later terminated his position under the guise of pandemic-related staff cuts.

Guerin is also the assistant GM for the U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team. The GM, Stan Bowman, resigned from that job and from his job as head of hockey operations for Chicago earlier this week amid the fallout from the Blackhawks scandal.

A USA Hockey spokesman said no decision has been made on Bowman’s successor.

Amid the shockwaves of the investigation into the Blackhawks’ mishandling of sexual assault allegations 11 years ago, TSN reported last week that the U.S. Center for SafeSport had opened an investigation into Guerin’s handling of the situation with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. A spokesman said Thursday that SafeSport “does not comment on active matters to protect the integrity of the process.”

[68style]

I remember when that happened, it was only a couple years ago. Skalde used to be a NHL player too I think.

You're crazy

But for sure somethings off. The talent on this team despite not really having a real superstar should be good enough to compete and win. People saying it's Petey shaking off rust but really this team can't be that bad it only relies on 1 guy, who as much as I like him, he's not a true superstar. He's a 2nd liner at best on a contender. However I did say the same about the Sedins way back and so lets hope Petey can prove me wrong

Call me crazy but i feel like were a complete coaching change(Baumer & King aswell) away from actually being a competitive team. Theres alot of teams that make a change like that and the team does a 180, i feel like we could be that team cause we are better than this.


or you just change the GM???? he's been here for 8 years and his track record has been abysmal...say what you want with his drafting and maybe his trade record but results matter and he's been given enough time really..

[spoon.ek9]

garland looks pretty determined to score tonight. everyone else so far... not so much :lol

hope they win..

[Hondaracer]

0 for 5 and taking a too many men on the PP?

Fire the coaching staff.

Ohhh and they score instantly..this might be it

[68style]

We are so bad.

1 goal a game and last game was 5 seconds left for that 1 goal…

[spoon.ek9]

honestly don't know how much worse this shit can get. no one playing with confidence, nothing going 5v5, special teams are a nightmare in both directions, half or more of the team looks lost.

I had to look that up to believe it... Arizona is 0-9-1

Chychrun is -16 in 10 games, only one player on the team is +
Carter Hutton has a 7.76 GAA in 3 games played
Loui has 1 assist in 9 games

The team also only has 6 players on the roster that are signed beyond this season, lol.

The only thing they have to look forward to is that they have 3 first round picks for 2022.

[RiceIntegraRS]

^ there PK is also 62%....... and PP is 8%.......... Will Shane Wright turn that franchise around? Dont think so. They need Wright and Bedard.


Jason King needs to be fired, our PP is just horrible. Cant believe someone is worse the Newell Brown. And our PK isnt much better also.

Your thoughts on this trade rumour involving Eichel and the Flames?


Kevin Weekes
@KevinWeekes

For all asking, my understanding is the @NHLFlames have Tkachuk ( who is a future potential captain) an upcoming 1 Rd pick, a former 1st Rd pick, and 2 prospects in the Eichel sweepstakes with the @BuffaloSabres . @espn @NHLNetwork #HockeyTwitter .


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[whitev70r]

^ bad idea ... Calgary is doing well, don't eff the chemistry ... I wouldn't trade Tkachuk for Eichel. That's a no.

[6thGear.]

Why Calgary or Vegas would consider giving up so much for Eichel who still needs surgery and by the time he's ready to play, assuming he's healthy and cleared to play he could be hitting close to 2 years out of game action and assuming he will regain old form. That's a huge gamble.

And it reveals itself again. Kevin Weekes is a fraud. I'd look to Ekland as more credible than the goalie of the future.

Well, he wasn't totally off if the rumours were true that the Flames and Knights were both in it to the last minute trying to outbid the other?

Flames should be happy that they lost this auction.

Nah man.

He jumped onto the train that the flames was a finalist. He then inserted his own thoughts on who is involved.

Given the actual return, there's no way that Tkachuk would have been part of that package. If he was, Eichel would be a Flame already.

[Alpine]

Ok, I was wrong about the problem with the PP1. It's not 100% Chiasson, a huge part of the issue is also Miller.
Miller isn't shooting from the left side, so the PK hedges over to Pettersson & Hughes even when Miller has the puck. He has a ton of open ice/space to skate in and shoot but he remains stationary and looks for the back pass back to Hughes. There were a few times the other night where the high PK player almost picked off the back pass back to Hughes on the same shift.

[CRS]

LeBrun: Well one part that was certainly not true is that Matthew Tkachuk was never part of any offer from the Calgary Flames to the Buffalo Sabres. Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams himself said that to Buffalo reporters on this day.

haha I agree. Although I usually try to test the Dman to see if I can walk down the middle like that every game. The good ones made damn sure I pay the price if I tried something like that.

[Alpine]

I'm also huge fans of Spezza's and Ryan's dangles:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwoo8Wb5h70&ab_channel=Sportscentral1000
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alEjKjbDUrg&ab_channel=BestNHLPlays

There's something so smooth about how they moved the puck from one side of their body to the other... it's almost elegant. Mckinnon and Mcdavid dangle with quick (almost manic) hands and speed, but there's something beautiful about Nash/Spezza/Ryan's moves lol.

[Hondaracer]

I agree that Rick Nash one still better

Mcdavids was kinda just like, “I can’t believe that worked” even for him lol

[BlackV62K2]

Markstrom is top 5 in the league in GAA, SV% and Shutouts so far

[spoon.ek9]

if they can manage to score first and tidy up their PK, they'll start to get on a win streak. at least their overall confidence appears better. if you looked at their body language 1-2 weeks ago, it was worrisome.

If this is the case, Kevyn Adams totally torpedo'd Kevin Weekes (already nonexistent) credibility.

I'm certain I've said this before, and maybe even a response to a post you made last year. But someone send Demko to 2011 with a time machine please.

good news, demko's chaotic stick-less, blocker-less save sequence AND the paddle save made it to hat picks :lol

[MarkyMark]

Maybe I don't watch enough games but how often do the Canucks score first? Seems like they always give up the first goal.

[spoon.ek9]

you definitely haven't been watching much lol. it's a huge issue this year.

[keifun]

yup. gave up the first goal of the game again. 11 in 13 games.

playing catching up again and our PK still is painful to watch.

this is where we miss Beagle as well as having Sutter and Motte not ready to play yet.
