Did you see Slavin basically saying "screw the forwards, I'm gonna get us one here," before he took his penalty?
Honestly I don’t think our defense sucks. They’d look amazing behind a strong forward group.
Also in front of a decent goalie pairing.
Maybe in transition, but they are a disaster covering in their own end.
Slavin that wasn't a great shot it was nice and straight at the goal and the Red sea parted. letting the goalie see it the entire way. (and this one isn't lacking confidence.)[shot at Darling]
We haven't scored in what, 5 periods?2nd shutout in a row incoming?
You can compare most NHL defenses over in the history of the game to the defenses we've iced over the last 8-9 years and they'll all look decent in comparison. That's probably why we sit at home every April, but I could be wrong.I don’t see it. We’ve had some truly bad defensive groups who were WAY WAY worse in their zone than this.
Justin Williams must be kicking himself over choosing this clown show
Either that or he was looking for more golfing opportunities and is elated at how this is going down the stretch
Somewhere there's a gal named Caroline fretting on the same thing.We haven't scored in what, 5 periods?
As I said the Red sea parted. no canes were near the center of the ice I don't disagree that shot was set up for a tip. just that this team doesn't do well setting them up. When the D think it's coming the O Goes to the sides for the rebound.Someone (gut says mcginn, but idk) missed the tip.
Soon to be 7We haven't scored in what, 5 periods?
