GAME RECAP #54: Nucks Wing It With A Terrible 6-1 Home Loss

Goalies on Waivers - Defense, Coaches, Front Office and Owners Too? | Bob Frid-USA TODAY Sports

Tooco Time in the ROG - Boys Working for the New Bench Boss - Same As The Old Boss

Welcome Home, Nucks! And another good shellacking by a distant historic rival.

Great to see our road warriors back on ROG ice, having learned the non-negotiable items on Tocco’s playlist. Despite what Kent claims, there’s no Iron Maiden on the list.

In case you haven’t heard, Tocco felt the team was making big hockey-style strides on the road after the big win over the Isles.

Perhaps he didn’t expect that once this team learns important lessons, it’s time to move on to casual contract years.

Tocco’s Tough Hockey Recipe:

  • Box Out Around The Net - FAIL
  • Crisp Line Changes - FAIL
  • Win the Wall - FAIL
  • Smart Puck Management - FAIL
  • No Puck Gazing in the D-zone - FAIL
  • No spinning - whatever that is - FAIL?

That’s not an appetizing meal. Too much effort. Too much process. No results.

Not that we haven’t seen the Nucks put in a poor team effort in the ROG this season. And last season. And the one before that. And so on.

But this low Nucking effort is a new low. Has Tocco lost the room? Before he even got it? Has the despicable new management group and old owners lost the fans?

Doesn’t matter.

What matters is the Nucks needed to lose this game. And they did. What more do you want? Well... maybe the almost comeback game management was more pleasant to watch.

You might not be surprised to know that the legendary Nucking PK matched the performance of the Top 10 20 Nucks PP. Both were tied in the horrible column. 0% effective for both. Such is the power of symmetrical suckiness.

And at least the Nucking goalie issues have been solved. Smart asset management, eh.

Marty is on waivers. Is Deals next? But why stop there. OEL on waivers couldn’t hurt.

Wait. We want to hurt. Keep them all until our lotto luck changes. Please check back in 2070.

ROG FAMILIAR RESULT VID

The 2 Johns might be happy to be back for home cooking. The Nucks not so much.
