  1. Take the 2 points and move Forward. Any lessons will be LVK specific and can be reviewed via the Archives. Next game up Please….we need to roll this one over ASAP….we have a lot of work to do…..including KYSOTI which reared its ugly head a few times…. really have to talk about that every game until it stops being a noted issue. Rest review recover rinse and repeat.

  2. Kane looks solid right now and full of confidence. The team looks better with flow and shoulders not slumping over. Except for Leon and Ryan McLeod. This still look and seem miserable. Hope Foegele and Brown can get on the scoreboard soon, they need a boost in that department for sure.

  3. One thing I've noticed with the small changes Knobs has made to the system so far, is the breakout is much better. They aren't trying near as many long stretch passes that this team is horrible at, and they're making short quick passes up the middle and breaking out as a unit with speed. If they keep doing that, their defensive game will improve immensely, their biggest issue in the Dzone has always been getting hemmed in because of constant turnovers

  4. Foegele and McLeod need to start a YouTube channel with the following dedicated theme …"the trick to doing absolutely nothing as an NHL player and never losing your NHL job security. The Show welcomes their first special guest to talk all about how to do absolutely nothing and keeping your job in the NHL is Connor Brown. Take it away Connor. Rock those subs boys You might find more success on YouTube than on the ice.

  5. Skinner is to inconsistent and if management doesn’t want to admit that then it’s poor management of not trying to improve. They need to take a pick and prospect and whatever else it takes including Broberg and upgrade. The jets are going to punish them Thursday!

  6. Go grab Perry. He had a tiff with an employee. Must have gotten physical to get run off. Edmonton has great anger management consultants yeah?

  7. The team is adding and playing better and better combination hockey. Finally, we see permanent links and an attack from all four links. You can see how there is a new hockey and consistency, and that's great. But the biggest problem remains Skinner – he has to go to the farm club, his game is terrible even in winning games. The guys should have won this game 4-2 without such problems. Skinner is slow, moves poorly and chooses positions poorly. He spoils any game, and it's a miracle that we won here. Against the background of the fact that the team really adds and finds its hockey – such a goalkeeper's game is simply unacceptable. He easily breaks their chances of winning games and will do it if you put him in the base in such a form as he is now. The second problem of the team is discipline. Kane should understand that such a number of deletions is simply unacceptable. It's nice to see that McDavid has put his faith in the team again and is starting to play more and more recklessly. Excellent work of the new coach.

  8. That game should never gone to OT…we’re better, but we’ll never make it beyond the 2nd or third round of the playoff with games like this…which happened last year, the year before that and still to this day. Gotta have the goalie make at least one of those saves or the d make sure that shot never gets through. A win – yes…but a loss for having to go to OT.
