He would have had to know that the forward wasn't going to do his job in order to cover for that mistake. He did exactly as he was supposed to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people here have played hockey but we all see it differently. I have to agree with you on this one. When I'm playing I always try to have my head on a swivel and it's 100% necessary on my teams for one of the forwards to identify and cover for Hughes, and Stecher needs to be more aware of his defensive responsibilities as compared to trying to hold the puck in that zone. Especially in OT when it was so painfully obvious it was Hughes all by himself behind the net. I play defence first so philosophies differ from person to person.

Absolute given the next line of D when that fails if for the remaining D man to get over to the middle quickly to seal off any breaks didn’t happen unfortunately Wow. One play didn’t work out. It’s ok take a pill. There were at least a dozen plays on either side that didn’t go well for either side and didn’t cost a goal. Don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill. The only play that bugs me in this series was Miller won the draw so cleanly - both Tanev and QHs were positioned where they should be off the draw - but Schwartz (one of the fastest skaters in the league) came flying out and passed them and beat Markstrom. Let’s not worry about losses like that one. We were in the game the entire time. Will say this again - what do you think our playoff run would like if we went up 3-0. Vancouver might enter the next round without EP and QHs. Maybe it’s time to stop criticizing the coach and all the plays that don’t go our way and just enjoy it? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty proud of our group, they are pushing the defending champs to the point where they need mistakes to happen in OT in order to beat us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Incredible hockey game. Very proud of that group = toe to toe with the SCC, in desperation mode, hitting the top gear they could - and the team was blow for blow with them the entire way, in a last shot wins battle - can't really ask for more than that. Fantenburg, Motte, Sutter - unreal performances imo. Those last two minutes of regulation were next level outstanding efforts by Motte and Sutter - and Fantenburg brought it constantly - looked like a legit top 4 shutdown D the entire night. Was really hoping one of those guys could pull off a game-winner after backboning the team through that game. Was pleasantly surprised by Benn. He had a few off moments - particularly after a minute long shift late in the 3rd where he finally had lots of time and space to clear the zone, and had a braincramp icing - but otherwise a solid effort with a handful of nice defensive plays. I might go to Juolevi regardless, for fresh legs in the back-to-back and for the improved puck moving on the back-end, but hard to take issue with Benn's performance overall. Anyhow - keep doing what they're doing and they give themselves a chance to win every night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. I’m super proud of this group and keep saying that. Really I haven’t liked a team more since the Linden days. I couldn’t get into the WCE teams. Thought we’d win a cup in 2011 but hated that Boston beat TB (because I felt we’d have beat them easily)...and then slowly just got sick to my stomach. The Sedins were great players and I’m forever grateful for what they accomplished- they made us a powerhouse like we’ve never had. But I still like the Linden teams a lot more. This team has the same potential in it and for that I’m also grateful and really never expected. Felt we were going to have to wait a lot longer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 47 minutes ago, IBatch said: Hmmm. From what I saw the 4th (real 3rd line) was again great last night all playing above their pay-grade and the third line was ok but not great - especially given who they played against (quality of competition). JV had one golden opportunity and didn’t even hit the net ... and wasn’t nearly as physical as the real third line. Those guys were great last night and definitely deserved the extra ice time. Edit: This isn’t about bashing JV, he’s been ok. It’s about how good Motte Beagle and McEwen have played more then anything. I expect a better effort from the third line tonight but will also say TT couldn’t get better sooner, and with apologies to JV he’s the odd man out as far as RWs go in this series. If he can’t play against the weak competition how do people expect him to replace LE (your not saying that but I have read that proposal). If he was hitting everything that moved like Motte is or doing something other then skating around waiting for something then maybe it would be different. At this point the team can’t afford to wait. And McEwen has definitely outplayed him. Mac was not good last night, at all. Motte had moments, but didn't have a good game overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
