Lack of time in between games (take your pick, schedule, injuries, COVID outbreak on team, etc) means team can’t really work on anything. I’m amazed a guy like Demko has looked so good on the whole this season.
My condolences as I know Mods aren’t allowed to have an ignore list (as they to see everyone’s posts to do their job properly though that means having to sift thru a lot of sewage).
If Travis Green remains as head coach, I'm skeptical that'll happen. *Only* reason any rookies/sophmores are playing now is because of injuries/covid (Green had no choice but to use whatever healthy body he had) imho.
You bet your last dollar the Laffs *WISHED* they overpaid for Markstrom. That team ain't going anywhere in the post-season with Anderson (or whoever they put in net).
Without talking specifically about the players, the left/right D is something a coach would understandably strive for but it isn’t a hard rule. Better to have two competent left side D as a pairing than one iffy left or right D in a pairing. I’ll go further, I’ll take *ALL* decent left side D over three L/R pairings if a couple of individual D are subpar.
