I believe this game is do or die. If they lose, I think it's over. They need to go back to hard hitting like they did in games 1 and 2, which is easier said than done, but they have to or it's bye-bye, imo. They need to simplify their game, enough of the east-west hockey or the extra pass when they're in prime shooting positions. I'm tired of screaming each time they pass a good shot, get men in front, and start shooting left and right. Once again, 5 on 5 play has been this team's Achilles Heel. If they fail to score on the PP, they lose. They can beat this team if they put in their effort and urgency, without a doubt, but we all know how uninspired this team plays at times. I have no idea what to expect from them tonight, but I'm hoping they bring their A game. #LGR!!!!  |

They are what the are. They spent the whole season with the top six trying that dipsy-doodle shit all the time. It doesn't work in the playoffs.

They must do whatever they can do keep it simple and get quality shots on goal (hard and accurate) as often as humanly possible from all angles!
That + HIT THEM ALL GAME LONG.

Panarin should have gone to Tarasenko for the tip in there, wide open.

This team constant struggle with coming out slow all season long is pathetic.
They 100% deserve to lose this series the way they are playing right now.

How many coaches have they've gone through and still the same dang issues. Getting rid of some of the vets might go a long way into changing that mind set, but who do you get rid off. Right now theres alot of laziness in this team for my liking. Most fo you are gonna bash me for this but Kreider needs to go imo and he has a no-trade clause so theres that. I'll even throw Panarin in the hat. |

This is really an ongoing issue... and a very strange phenomena, isn't it? |

We also know all the draft picks and other players they traded away the last two years won't be here either. We do know that all the overpriced players we are stuck with will be here because management was sure to give them deals that made it impossible to trade them. Last year was our Stanley cup and we overachieved. This year we won't even come close. Next year the decline starts. This will be the fastest rebuild and decline in NHL history. |

Agreed, I just don't see this team getting any better as is, unless the kid line suddenly blows up(wishful thinking), they will regress for sure. |

GG needs to drop Kreider with Trocheck and Kane they seem to play better as e 3some, same with Panarin-Zbad-Tarasenko.

Well, this game is pretty much over. They can't even get a decent shot other than right in the pads or in the stomach, or an easy paddle save
