He’s been butter soft and listless all year long. I wonder what happened to him, it’s like he doesn’t care about hockey anymore. He got his contract and he’s satisfied barely putting in any effort.

Mika chose embellishment instead of battling. Pathetic.

Mika has had the yips all series, but they reached a brutal level in game 3

Soft wank he is.

That’s some European soccer level of embellishment. Beyond pathetic

Actually embarrassing that is our 1C. This team is fraudulent.
KnightKreider
He should be a fucking scratch because of this.

Lav needs to have some balls and stick him on the 3rd line for G6.
flaamed
if we lose this series, he needs to be moved somehow

Soft as charmin

Soft as shit. Disgraceful

I’m ready for Laffy to take this team to the promised land. Put him on PP1 and give him 25 minutes a game
NoReplacement9001
What a piece of shit he is

Fucking embarrassing lack of effort in the tailing minutes of the 3rd period.

Man, that elbow….
It was an elbow, but it was a glancing blow at best. Mika just gives up on the play entirely hoping for a call allowing FLA to skate the puck in for the empty-netter. There was literally zero fight or battle. I wish I could say Mika was invisible. It just seems that every decision Mika makes on the ice this series has been detrimental to the team.
So frustrating, because I don’t want to rag on these guys. I don’t want to point fingers and call out the stars on the team I love cheering for, but sometimes it’s so difficult to watch the same 2 or 3 guys, year in and year out, get to a certain point in the playoffs and just ….. crumble? evaporate? I don’t even know the proper word to describe it, but it is equally maddening and depressing to watch. It seems every year after the Playoffs we have to talk about how one or more of our offensive stars just went silent for the majority of the last few games / series. Richards, Gaborik, Nash, Zibanejad, Panarin, etc…. Doesn’t matter the name on the sweater, the story stays the same.
I sincerely hope they can figure it out and pull out a win in game six (and then all things willing – game 7). This whole year has felt different. It really has felt special, but it all means nothing if they don’t finish it out.

I’m done with him after the last two games. I remember when Gallant started screaming at him during a game to stop complaining over a non-call and get back into the play that’s still happening. He was spot-on.

I mean, the guy is a loser. What do you expect? Stuff like that is why we might go home Saturday night. Can’t win when your top guys are looking for calls instead of battling. If the media had any balls they would ask him about that and Lavi would call him out about it. Our guys fail and nobody says shit to them

At this point Trocheck is our #1 C, at least plays with heart and has actually performed this series and through the playoffs.
Mika is certainly soft as baby food and seems so disinterested. Take his ass off PP1 and put Laffy out there.

Hey Mr DJ wake up we need you!!!

Man I’m so sad about mika’s state in this series so far. As a swede he’s been one of my favorite players all time but he just doesn’t look himself rn.
TimeTravelingTiddy
Wow. He gave up on that play, twice. That’s hard to do.

I wish I didn’t have an urge to go to Spotrac to see his buyout penalty.

I was right there! Saw this and was literally so confused. I’m not super familiar with hockey but this was just so hard to understand. Like what were you doing just standing there buddy?! Igor carries 90% of the team, I truly don’t understand! Overall a pretty frustrating game.

Damn, NY fans are so tough on their players. TOR fans would find 1000 excuses and blame everyone else other than player.
