Sweet burn!

Logan Stanley can't clear the net either tho. Josh does.  Toby did. Technique not size. Demelo is technically our best defensive d man. Size is irrelevant.  Boston doesn't take periods off and they all help out defensively.  Our forwards don't help much. 

We were on avg bigger and heavier than Boston D even without Stanley on avg.

Who knows.... they either dont want to get in there and protect the goalie  or they are not told to do it.  ( doubt it )

 

big is not it.... although in buff's prime, opponents forwards were definitely playing differently, when he was on the ice. Never going to see another player like  him on the jets.
 

now..... zero respect shown by opponents in the jets end.  

but duncan keith  isnt big. Dont think he played like these guys. 

 

Much of the team seems to play with their head up their ass.... then light goes on for a few minutes.

 

no  cut contracts. . Not many of of these guys are playing for a job. What coach can get a top forward to play d if he doesnt want to?

 

Players get more money, more adulation, are harder to replace than a coach. cant be fired.
 

= Problem.

fans paying what they pay to see the team at the rink, must be right pissed off when they see the kind of b.s. the players pull off.

The fact that maurice just gave up, has to tellyou something about the attitude of at least some of players.

It's likely the system they run that plays a role

I agree. Maurice probably the covid played a role and the family situation not really being able to see them really. The rest is bang on in my opinion.
