Wow. Is this like a broken record with a few skips into the possible future. Psychedelic or what! It must be the 70’s man.
Back to reality. Same old, same old. Power play sucks. Defense sucks, (oh ya, emphasize on SUCKS). Veterans suck (ah, maybe exception Maxwell). Voltera, Banga & Edinger (the so called vets), minus big time. Defense minus big time. Lemanowicz sucked tonight. 50+ shots on goal!!!!!!!again!. Whether Fixter thinks the shot clock guy is accurate or not, plus or minus 10 is still WAY to MUCH! A decent game last I checked was maybe at most or less than 30 shots a night?
Ok, enough with the negative. Hareuf the bright and shining star tonight and during the last three games at least The rookie Bonar, keeps scoring goals. Uh, I guess thats it for positive.
Come on boys. Have some pride, win one for ???????? yourselves!

its seems we have a big black cloud over our team. We need some confidance big time. It is really bad when we allow 10 goals in back to back games. What is going on with the defense on the 1st goal the guy skated right around 4 of our players, why didnt some knock the —- out of him we need to get angry and play more physical we had 3 or 4 fights but other than voltera who i thought lost the guys who should be fighting are not. we need a big strong defeseman like butlen who can start banging some heads around.

roger roger roger… slow down fella .. i got to watch my first killer bee game friday here in the valley and i can safely say that the defense is the problem with very little pressure and not enough body on body and physical play.. seemed as if there were a few times where the guys were confused on assignments inside the D zone. and for the first two periods it seemed as if they bees were 2 to 3 steps behind arizona. could this be conditioning? i dont know you tell me.. the vets are working hard from what i saw but as is the case with hockey sometimes things go unnoticed i guess.. it is unfortunate that theres not more scoring going on with the vets but the effort is there safely to say. just wanted to throw my input at ya roger. interested to see how sundays game will go.. but the D will need to get re established if they are gonna win some games.. scoring 6 goals and getting 40 shots surely isnt the problem.. just thought i would share my thoughts with ya

Wow,The defense is playing poorly,goaltending is another problem,can we bring in a shutdown goalie(s),and can we bring in some defensemen,that can allow less shots on the goaltender,and be more physical…our offense,not to bad,but still needs to play better
