In game prediction I said Minn 3 Van 1
I could give two S#%Ts that I was close to correct.
They give us trouble every time we meet them. We say the right things, what were gonna do, how were going to play blah blah blah but panic when we get there. Talk all good talk in the locker room but then get mugged and smothered by an ugly handsy octopus whenever we enter the offensive one.
Petie gets hit every chance, we knew that was coming. Do we counter? No we keep sending in the same play.
Our slow pedestrian guys are great during regular season but this is the playoffs/play ins. We're getting Sedined all over again. We need more size and speed, add Jake-McEwen-Bailey and out smother them. (And draw more penalties)
Goodgod Greens focus should be on Minny not on babysitting his roster, it took our focus off the game. No 'Jake's gotta learn blah blah blah'..Bo fell into it too hand wringing talking about character stuff..
We were not ready, we knew who the ref was. We have to play through that crap. Keep hussling to the net.Hit back.
Boudreau talked about their chemistry working from 'listening and respect'. I don't think we're getting the right messages from Green.
We need pro-active leadership, we can't depend on panic energy from playing from behind, Don Knott's style.
