Viper007 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I didn't like the line combos today. I wish they would go back to the Podkolzin-Pettersson-Garland trio.

Cant hit the net, average hands and brick for feet. EP40 continues to disappoint. *unpopular opinion* Pettersson needs to be shopped as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not convinced Mangiapane’s skate was still on the ice on his trailing leg that was outside the zone when they entered the zone Good point - but I’d be very surprised if our video-review guy wasn’t on it. That’s literally his only job of ‘real consequence’ behind that bench ….to challenge goals that are possibly offside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His trailing leg was still over the blue line and they got rid of the needing to touch the ice rule. It was pretty close and he might have been offside if someone jump-changing for Miller was tracking back with the other two though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper007 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Another crappy part about that OT goal is that Bo gets a -1. Another reason why +/- is a dumb stat. Should give Miller the -1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOw does a guy like miller get called out for something like that ( when he's played his guts out for this team all year) And a guy like Pettersson not get called out when the effort isn't there. Noone can tell me EP giving 100%. Miller's giving 100% (except for about 4 seconds) Sorry, doesn't add up. I'm sticking up for Miller 100% tonight.

Pearson-Miller-Boeser Podkolzin-Pettersson-Garland Dickinson-Horvat-Hoglander Motte-Lammiko-Highmore Pearson was out of the line-up (Covid protocol) & Bo’s the best face-off guy they’ve got! He was needed a lot! Losing Myers so early was hard to take. Learning that these refs were doing our team no favours early on was another tilt to the ice. They were up against it from the start. I believe this game may have played out a little differently - if they didn’t have to juggle d-men & watch their d-zone coverage so much…NOT having the last change. Hiccups everywhere & being impeded by unpenalized ‘Lames slowed ‘em down. Edited January 30, 2022 by viking mama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had glimpse of stardom during the Edmonton game on his nice unassisted goal but no where near consistent enough to be paid $7+million.

Theres no way your Snipers should have zero shots in a game.

J.I.A.H.N Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I am not sure what all the crap is for/ We got shut down by the other team, and still took a point In the old days that is a 0-0 tie I also have to say that our team, really took the majority of their prime chances away and our goalie, shut the door on the other ones...like he should have........ Boring game, but it could have been a hell of alit worse! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a poorly constructed roster, coaching can't fix that. Little offense from defense, no bottom-6 to speak of, top-6 players take turns taking nights off. Aggregate talent on paper is decent, it'll win some games, especially considering how good goaltending has been for most of the season. But there are massive holes; you are what your record says you are. The guy who built this team kept taking shortcuts... this is the result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettersson and Boeser play too much of a perimeter game, which was further exacerbated by Green’s dump and chase system. I’ve seen subtle improvements, noticeably Petey, in zone entries under Bruce, I think the biggest underlying issue is the fact that we don’t have a playmaker on our team. You look at other teams, they’ve got Gaudreau, Connor, Marner and Matthews, McDick, Panarin, Zegras, Kane etc, all of them are playmakers with the exception of Matthews that are able to use their elite puck skills to create space for themselves and to find their respective triggerman to hand over the puck too upon zone entry. We don’t have any of that. Pettersson and Boeser are too passive, they need someone to get the puck to them in order for them to be effective offensively. Horvat plays more of a North-South game but isn’t the type of guy that demands the puck at all times in the offensive zone. Miller creates chances off of opportunities rather than set plays. We need a playmaker, an offensive player who’s sole purpose is to create chances for his teammates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginator Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 52 minutes ago, drdeath said: There was absolutely time for someone from the center ice side of the bench to come over the boards and track back with Gaudreau. Miller had about 5 seconds from this moment to get to the bench before Johnny received the puck and his replacement would need to get involved in the play. Extra forward also might have made it harder for Mangiapane to enter the zone onside. I was there. It would have been too many men. Don't blame the guys on the bench, blame Miller. Selfish, selfish play. It was actually disgusting. I paid money for that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
