Looks like last year.
Gonna be a long season if this team only wants to show up for 20 minutes of hockey again – like last year.
Same as it ever was.
starting off just like we ended, embarassed at home by the chicago blackhawks
Not a good start but can’t win 82 games. Go beat the caps Friday.
This Bedard dick riding is insufferable, Jesus
Welp lmao. See y’all on Friday.
Largest roster turnover in a long time but the coach and system remain the same. Same results.
There’s nothing like a blown 3rd period lead to keep my hype and expectations in check for a new year. Some things just never change smh
Steelers should’ve taught me a damn lesson about getting my hopes up.
So that was depressing. Can’t fuck up that bad every third period and expect to win though.
I’m just here to overreact
Side note, sacking the coach mid season has worked more than once before 😏
The sooner this fanbase realizes it’s Sullivan, the better. And it wasn’t just last season that this team had a difficult time holding on to multi-goal leads. Different players, same result. Coaches don’t normally stay with one team for this long in the NHL. There’s a reason why.
Defense sucks, no other way to put it. Offense looked ok, Jarry looked ok. Defense was nothing better than pylons
Mrazek played really well. I think pens played well enough and earned a couple more goals but that’s the way the cookie crumbles.
The third goal rebounded right off the defender directly to the dudes stick. Just unlucky
Power play needs to figure it out ; still an issue
Everything other than the top line, Karlsson, and Jarry was complete trash.
It’s only game 1, so not hitting any panic buttons, but there are 4-5 guys on this team that need to majorly unfuck themselves.
That was pathetic, losing at home opening night giving up 4 straight to a trash team
Johnston was 15-10-3. I hope this coaching staff has a leash just as short. I don’t care about losing. The powerplay is inexcusable.
Look, it’ll be fine. We’ll fire Sully in December, then we win the cup. Just like Dubas planned.
Fire Canada!
oh wait wrong team
Man wtf was Malkin doing this game
It’s only one game. But holy fuck
The Chicago Blackhawks covered for a rapist and gave him a job recommendation so he could go on to rape (at least) two more players.
Never forget or forgive what that garbage organization did.
We have a healthy Iceborg. That’s all that matters now.
[Mood](https://youtu.be/qi1LMIUOOAI?si=-iIyBRgjDXYYlC_5) all the hype in the off season but it’s the same stale systems and coach. Need someone to talk some sense into the guys and make them uncomfortable because they’re just going through the motions now. Same story different season
I hope Dubas has Sully on a short leash. No way this team can keep giving up leads like this game after game without someone being held accountable.
Ron Hextall-like finish, only with a revamped roster. On to D.C.
At least we aren’t the highlight reel for the next 20 years of Bedards first goal.
Remember the days where we would be unbeatable with a third period lead, man I miss those days
Could have just re-aired the Blackhawks game from 6 months ago and I’d never have been able to tell the difference
How bad do pens have to be before you see FSG actually firing Mike Sullivan? I can’t believe they brought back his assistants after not making playoffs last year
Karlsson looked frustrated out there, and had a lot of unfortunate shit happening to him.
Not concerned too bad yet; we have never had the best record against Chicago. On to the next
Well with half completely new 3rd and 4th lines it will take a little to find their groove. The talent is there, they just got to figure out how to make it work. For most of it Jarry looked good.
Only the first game, but what an annoying one at that
Game 1 done and I’m disappointed. Maybe game 2 will be better. Still have a long season ahead. I think EK65 get into chemistry with the PP and we’ll be seeing goals all year
Right about now, Karlsson’s on his way home thinking, “What in the fuck have I done?”
That Jeff Carter holding the stick penalty really sums this one up nicely. Lazy and undisciplined.
Same old garbage Sullivan team from last year that can’t defend and can’t protect a lead. No point in watching loser ass Sullivan lead another loser year. End the Sullivan show already. We already crapped our pants the same way with dragging Bylsma for 2390487239472397 extra years than he was useful for.
