- Overall,...my take from the last pre-season game:<br /><br />- Overall, it was not a good perfomance for the team. I hope they realize that even with the great talent they have, they cannot let frustration get the better of them.<br /><br />- The tbirds are giving a completely differnet look with Barzal in the top 2 lines. It just opens things up so much for everyone else.<br /><br />- Once Everyone is back, the defense should be stabilized. I like the play of Wolf and Bear and would not have issues with them on a bottom 2 pairing. Wardley needs to pick his spots a bit more, cuz they need his controlled aggressivity. Douglas improved a LOT since the beginning of camp.<br /><br />- 2 guys that I have had problems with in the past really impressed me. Delnov was using his body really well to protect the puck and control it. And Troock is not just toe draging it anymore .....using his shoulders in an efficient fashion.<br /><br />Mr Tell13https://www.blogger.com/profile/13706265045018584883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-79450759667591125412013-09-16T08:27:03.348-07:002013-09-16T08:27:03.348-07:00Unfortunately some fans seem to go just to see fig...Unfortunately some fans seem to go just to see fights. A couple of years ago I could have sworn that Doty was the best player the T-birds had by the way some fans booed when he was scratched. I'm not saying I don't like a fight and I don't stand up and cheer when one happens, but there are times to fight and not every game is going to have one of those times. It would be nice if the fans that came just for the beer and fights could get that through their thick skulls.<br /><br />Where would other teams be if you took away their top three defensemen? I mean that is half of the defensemen you are going to typically dress night in night out. I think Wolf and Bear will be playing this year to get experience and I think Douglass is going to be sent home for more seasoning at a lower level.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04143468354590711642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-64617182054862302982013-09-15T15:28:48.585-07:002013-09-15T15:28:48.585-07:00Totally agree with Anonymous 11:47.

I hate the Everett Fans and their cowbells.<br />But really I have to remind myself that it is just a game, and a preseason game at that. I also try to focus on what we can improve on.<br />To begin with, it was apparent to me that without our top three d-men we are helpless. Foulk, Wardley and Smith do not look as good this year as I expected. So with that said I have two suggestions, one real and one fantasy. Real suggestion: Let's get Theodore, Hauf and Forsberg back on the ice and not play Wolf, Douglas or Bear so much (at least until they mature some). Fantasy suggestion: let's be the team that trades for Mirco Meuller. Give them a 95 D and some draft picks (as many as it takes!).<br />The second thing I noticed was that just like last year this team got really angry and undisciplined quickly. I do not want this team to be the kind that lets its emotions spiral out of control like that. Wardley and Troock should have held it together at the end there. I mean, come on its preseason. Maybe pull that out in a playoff game when you're down by three but not now. Not this early. <br />The last thing I have to say is please stop getting drunk and screaming at our players. Someone (I won't name names) kept yelling at Bear in the third because he wasn't fighting. Congratulations guy because he heard you and I think he was pretty bothered by it. If you want to yell at a 16 year old for doing something wrong head to a drive thru window, but show respect for these kids. They deserve it. It's just a game, Go Birds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-64320292542412059042013-09-15T01:08:18.072-07:002013-09-15T01:08:18.072-07:00After watching the Friday and Saturday games, I ho...After watching the Friday and Saturday games, I hope Theodore, Hauf, and Forsberg make a really big difference in the way the team plays. It looked like they didn't give much of an effort in either game.<br /><br />Can we pass the hat to cure the Everett fans of their muteness? Maybe then they can get rid of the damn cowbells and cheer like a real fan instead of being a lazy fan with a noise maker. It was making me feel like I was in a pasture of angry bellcows.<br /><br />I'm excited for next Saturday night and to see how the guys play when the games really count.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04143468354590711642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-69489727420708301512013-09-14T23:22:45.818-07:002013-09-14T23:22:45.818-07:00Yes.

Kolsar looks like he skates with lead weights on his skates. It looked like some of the players were "benched" in the 3rd period. <br />We should have a good team next year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-19271270287389848692013-09-14T16:03:40.549-07:002013-09-14T16:03:40.549-07:00Been to lots of hockey games in the US and Canada....Been to lots of hockey games in the US and Canada. If Everett was the closest city with a hockey team I wouldn't attend. In my opinion, the "fight" during the national anthem, and they "still suck" after the power play, and those cowbells would do it. Seattle isn't too far behind yelling at the goalie "your momma called and she says you suck" is just as stupid. I guess there is trailor trash every where.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
