How about this:
Let's try STARTING PP2 when we get a Power Play. Why not?

Very few people on this team can actually finish. It will continue to be a problem, PDO be dammed.

This play absolutely infuriated me in real time. That's an inexcusably horrible play from one of the veteran leaders on the team.
The Leafs and Panthers lost to the Coyotes, we doubled them up in shots and outplayed them. As Machinehead said we had similar struggles despite analytics in 2013-14. Just sounds like you're looking for the negatives so you can rant.

So we can watch Trouba be bad more?
That's the problem. A well structured team. We cannot create or sustain any offense 5v5 against it. It's the same problem.
Our rush is acceptable but our Ozone gameplan is and has been hot garbage. No one knows what their teammates are doing. No one gets open. No one makes themselves a threat. The middle of the ice is vacated.....
It's the same story...
Kreider's "physical game" was never the same after this run in with Carey Price.
Yup. I wonder what lessons we can learn from losing to a team that played as a team on the transition and on defense, a team that had better coordination, structure and were clearly better drilled in playing their system. A team that I doubt is significantly faster skating than ours for the most part.
Pre-game Gallant said that the team that played their system the best on the day would win, and he was correct.

We're CLEAN, we PROMISE!
Remember that thread about "who might be booed, or the next whipping boy?" Seems Kreider and Trouba are the leading candidates. Nobody's demanding nor expecting 50+ but, we need them to be much much better than they have been. For that dinero, they need to be all-stars.
And yeah, Vesey is outplaying him for 1/10th the salary.
Back in the day he was (in the box often), he learned that part of it, but that VIDEO with around 4 to go, was pathetic how he AVOIDED contact behind the net.
Colorado, Calgary, Tampa Bay, Toronto, Pitt, Wash are all doing worse or as well as the Rangers.
I guess all those coaches suck. They all have no systems. They're all not trying etc,.

Take him off and put Zack Attack on. But PP1 is getting stale and teams are more prepared for them. Another 0'fer last night. Wouldn't hurt to give PP2 a minute out there to start a power play.

no one wants to move or skate or take initiative.
Stand still, float and puck watch. The team is guilty of it
The only line that generated offense was the kid line. They are the only line that executes

Everyone knows I get protective on our goalies (probably the goalie coach in me), but from what I could see from the ShitnetNow stream in a 5-2 loss with ENG against a top team - Igor let in 2 bad goals. The loss isn't on him but he knows those 2 shots he needed to have. (Pasta and Frederic)
You especially don't drop to RVH to a dude on a half-boards on his backhand. (Pasta's goal)
I'm seeing even more frequent over-committing on shortside chances and he's gone for a swim accordingly. Getting very frustrated with that but I'm sure he'll be reeled in.
I don't blame Coyle's goal on him but he was very pedestrian on that wrap around attempt but Trouba 100% needs to man up there.
No panic here for me - Bruins are rolling.

I need the Kid Line put back together. Osmosis is real. You play with someone and hang with them long enough, you start to become them. I don't want Kakkreniehytil developing into soft and lazy.

Fair enough. I'm just hoping our puck luck will equalize soon.

It still doesn't solve the problem. Then the Zibs line suffers... maybe Panarin Tro will find success, since Tro is the only guy on the team that keeps moving.
It's a mindset. Go cause chaos. Do not stop skating.
Vesey is the other standout from last night. I'm glad he got rewarded with a goal. He was skating hard every shift and it was noticeable.
The rest of the team was playing like they had food poisoning

I'm cool with putting the Kids back together, BUT they better be getting the most ES time on ice. Unfortunately, we know that won't happen.

I'm fine with starting PP2 as long as we are calling the big boy group PP2. I don't believe in line numbering anyway.

Adam Fox needs to be taking all 2 minutes of PP time. Are the 20 seconds really make or break for him?

This is the ideal top6 but will never happen because of reasons
we need to put Fox on some EPO.... that way he'll never get tiredYes, because we need him back at ES after those 20 seconds
