[John Hynes said he wanted to take a little time to digest this game before commenting a ton. Obviously some situations they could have handled better. Felt the want + effort was there. But “obviously a tough night.”](https://twitter.com/joesmithnhl/status/1770684133641220256)
How is that going to be your answer after losing 6-0 when you’re supposedly in the middle of a playoff push? I know they got some bad bounces, but they didn’t exactly put themselves into areas of the ice where they could have success. They couldn’t get anything through the middle, they couldn’t get pucks on net on the PP, and they weren’t responsible defensively. The bounces weren’t the reason for the loss.
That was a bad game zuc
Like I get what he means in as much as they had at least 3 posts and gave up some flukey goals. But I just don’t think that’s a good answer. As a leader of the team you have to say take ownership of the fact that you didn’t get it done
[ x ] – doubt
(sorry, Zuc, that was a pretty bad game…unlucky, yes, but still bad)
It wasn’t a good game but it was far from the worst i’ve seen the wild play.
Zuccy, you haven’t scored a goal in about a month. Guerin didn’t re-sign you expecting that lack of production. Not scoring a single goal is reason enough to lose a game regardless of bounces.
Lol. Zuc cmon man…let’s be real
Shout out to the west coast time zone and the network delaying the game start. Just awake long enough for puck drop but looks like I missed a stinker.
Eh. Think the guys played pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty bad.
Didn’t play a bad game? It was god awful what the hell you on?
Our team has absolutely no spine when we are in a deficit.
Let’s just revert back to dump and chase …bc that works so well. Nobody showed up today .
Good teams generate good bounces. The opposite is also true.
Not a bad game, Zuc? What exactly did I watch for 20 minutes before turning it off and getting some sleep?
Really? After hearing that. Maybe there are still some character issues in that locker room.
You gave up 6 goals and got shutout again. STFU about playing good. They’ve played good less than 1/4 of games this year. Billy G needs to trade this bum
Team lost their identity center and best D man and flat out gave up.
“We didnt play a bad game”
dude we got pumped 6 goose in the final stretch of a playoff race the fuck you mean? zucc i love you but no.
