coastal.view Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 2 minutes ago, janisahockeynut said: You are missing the point Coastal Look Mathews goal ……..there should have been someone with him, and forced him into the corner The 2nd goal...was mostly on Demko The 3rd goal hit the post and came back out, and the player grabbed the rebound or neutralized the player who scored....why wasn't he taken? Maybe I am wrong, but my expectations are that you don't let the 3rd highest goal scorer in the league shoot Period....The best against a back up with 34ish total games played..... No Coastal you are wrong...there were lots of missed assignments on those goals Demko made some good saves too......not saying he gets a pass.... The point about the Zamboni Driver was the commitment of the players in front of him...…. Read my other posts...………...self explains responsibilities by others nope i saw what trump did in helsinki i saw what i saw tonight i was told trump did something else there and that my perception is mistaken i know what i saw same goes for this game does not matter what else happened on the matthews goal that is an expected save, and not a goal, for any nhl goalie on the 3rd goal demko was hopelessly out of position that goal was basically slowly curled inside the far post demko had no hope on it due to incredibly poor positioning you want to give him a pass? not sure why he is the last line of defense he has to do his job he didn't 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoasting Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Suspect goaltending and a serious lack of urgency and drive by a third of the players leads to this! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 1 minute ago, Warhippy said: I noticed this a lot this and last game. The D skating backwards allowing the forwards time and space, like they were intimidated or afraid to hit them. Imagine if Edler just stopped and braced himself. Tavares/Matthews/Marner etc would shatter against him. We need our D to actually impose their will and protect their zone. Not give opposing forwards space Even if Demko stopped that initial shot or it goes wide it allows the player to get in on the forecheck quite easily. You get in his way he has to go around you. You always see defenseman always locking up with guys right before reaching a loose puck on the boards, then the board battle ensues. It's a similar sort of thing just without that physical side and freezing the puck on the boards. Edler and Myers are good at locking guys up and making guys who have speed on them go around, allowing time for everyone else to get back on the back check. It's harder for Hughes because he is small but he has the skating to get in peoples way or even getting to the puck first and he didn't do that there and neither did Tanev. Middle of the ice was too open. Refs aren't gonna give you an interfering penalty if you're holding your ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were a bit ahead in the standings I would want Demko to get more games to keep both goalies fresh and ready to go. We're in a weird division though.

Still doesn't prove Green has a turn the cheek mandate with the team. I find it hilarious this coach ghandi crap is spewed on here. Seems like everyone preaching it never watched Green play.

There is little passion like what JT Miller brings every night aside from his strong skills. Green as a player of that era had a firebrand style/method of coaching, it showed on the ice too. Green was a solid NHL'er. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there could of been better defence to neutralize Matthews, etc, but 2/3, maybe even 3/3 shouldn't of been goals. He did make a wicked save in the 3rd to keep it close but I watched the same game as coastal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev last game, Virtanen, Horvat and Sutter have this year too though not consistently. The fact it's happening at all disproves the coach ghandi myth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He promised he'd get himself banned with nudes if we lost against the leafs. Double or nothing and he loses again.

High and Inside Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) It sucks that we lost back to back winnable games but everybody does need to relax as we’re still in a decent position. Hopefully we can get a win tomorrow and make this a 500 road trip and once we get home we should be able to put some wins together again. The league is pretty competitive and just about every team is going to go through these we little lulls especially on cross country road trips. Pittsburgh dropped one to Anaheim and is about to do the same against San Jose. Will get back on track.

We must take care of home ice and win atleast 3/4 of those games and hoping for the rest of the road games we win about half of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
