And that's where guys like Tanev who are elite situationally really shine. It's a young dman's mistake, getting ahead of the play and not having the foresight to anticipate it.

SergioMomesso Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Gotta come out hard tomorrow night and get one early. Series will turn quickly if the boys come out flat. Try to roll 4 lines fast and get everyone in the game. Their 4th line played some good grinding shifts in our end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theo5789 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 2 minutes ago, MikeyD said: It's a part of it for sure. At the end of the day the forwards have to finish the play to slow down the onslaught. Can't finish a long shift, dump it in with zero pressure and let them come back at you with speed while you're transitioning from a line change the entire game to face the same shift over and over. The forwards have to have more heart and be willing to go the extra mile for the success of the next shift. So many forwards opted out for energy, whether it was for a line change or passively defending and hoping you'd get a repossession off of a blocked shot. We made maybe 5 plays the entire game in the neutral zone offensively. Never gonna get an honest win when you don't play the right way. Well the reality is that when you lose your big top 4 RD that logs a lot of 5v5 time, there's always going to be a struggle whether the forwards are supporting or not. The quality drops and while Stecher is all heart, he's not a quality top 4 dman. Throw in Benn, who played fine, but isn't a solid puck mover and there's always going to be a bit of disconnect. The forwards are not going to always be able to come back as a full unit, even harder so when our system doesn't roll 4 lines equally. This could be seen as a flaw for the system in place, but every system has their pros and cons. We weathered the storm for the most part and almost finished in OT. Could've been worse. Hopefully the Blues are going to be a bit gassed for tomorrow and we take advantage. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McEwen doesnt step up big swap him for Virtanen and maybe the benching lit a fire under Virtanen. Pretty disappointed in Virtanens overall game tn (not blaming him for that penalty) Swap in Gaudette and Bailey for Jake and Zack. Gaud has heart and hustle, while Bailey is faster than Jake and a better nose for the net. Hits too. Fresh legs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Law of Goalies Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I found it odd that everyone is blaming Jake. I watched the 1st half of the game and he did well. I guess Green thought so too as he got 14 minutes of ice time, which was the highest so far in the playoffs. I have a feeling he is getting started. I'm just optimistic I guess. Yes, he can be a lot better and is kind of wasting his potential but he is a slow starter. To be honest, I rather bench Roussel before benching Jake. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was consistent. Consistently throw it away despite having time and space. Stecher in particular made so many awful decisions including on the losing goal. Have absolutely no remote idea what he was thinking on the 1-1 goal. as bad as i wanna say it stecher isnt a solution on our dcorp to small gets overrun id play edler benn hughes tanev fantenburg juolevi over stecher hes just to small to make a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
