I don't know if I can bring myself to watch this team in person come playoff time. So disappointing watching so many winnable games slip out of the teams hands recently, with zero end to the slide in sight.
It was a rough go last year having to watch us get dismantled first round by Halifax, but this year it seems like it's going to be even worse getting dumped by a team who will actually be closer to us in the standings. I figured we were going to turn a corner this season, and really thought we were gaining momentum after Christmas.

The compete level from this team over the last 4-5 games especially has been pathetic. Out worked in all three zones and just puck watching non stop. We make bad teams look good
Things need to turn around or it’ll be a sweep fairly easily as we continue to dip further down the rankings
I hope playoff hockey will bring the best out of this group but it’s hard to find positives over this 10 game stretch

2nd straight game Romeo gets a 5 minute major this time though he also was given a match penalty so that's an automatic suspension isn't it.

He doesn't have to fight .......so he goes around Playing Dumb / Tough ........but he never / ever gets held accountable for it , nor does he have to worry about being held accountable for it . It's just like the after the whistle Bullshit , we just have to sit there and watch it . Just another reason why the Q Product is at an All Time Low .

Another Iffy Road Trip , how many of them have they had ? Hopefully this Team can hold on to 6th place but given they play all those Games on the Road to finish up their Season ................I wouldn't want to bet on it .

Not much to be happy with in that road trip - 5on5 we got to be better. Other teams around us are coming together and playing well and we are just not right now. Some Time left to get the ship right and against the right teams as well. None the less this Win was so big in many ways

None the less this Win was so big in many ways Changes have been made that have disrupted the flow and chemistry of this hockey team and I think it is safe to say that any changes back would require the bench boss to admit the plan failed.

There have been several this season from 1-3 games depending on the severity of the play. Accumulation of Codes does play a factor, Romeo had another stick infraction suspension (1 game spearing) earlier in the year, so that may count as accumulation. The other option is after review they remove the Match Penalty, but I think that is unlikely to happen. Best Guess, 2 games.

Ultimately I think this team will end up right where it should be. As much as people wanted to see that huge leap to contender happen there's simply not enough consistency from the veterans to push this team into another level.
The positives, from my perspective, are the system being put in place is one I think can lead to success at this level if you're getting the full buy in. Especially if built around really solid goaltending.
Now saying that I still think winning a round is the best case scenario for this group and thats going to come in a close series. But the key is identifying the right people to be a part of a contending team next year.
We have some passengers within this group. Does maturity push them to raise their game or is it a case of what we see if what we get? Thats what to really figure out between now and that Christmas trade period.

A lot of what Simon said Today he has said before but I believe this is the 1st Time where he publicly stated that he wants C200 .

The downside for the government is massive in that if the new owner doesn't do the proper maintenance and upkeep and eventually walks away from it the government would be left to inherit a potential disaster.
