Coleman and Pietila are not good penalty killers.
Neither is Lovejoy, but it's only been 5.5 months and I think he still gets more PK time than anyone else on the team.
Hynes likes players that play defense though and in his book, playing defense means staying stuck in the defensive zone and defending.
Hah they don't even show the Devils on the Countdown to Clinch anymore, first team in the East to be officially eliminated?
These kids have played all of 20 (?) games. Give them a chance.
We were eliminated last night.
Hynes really is piece of **** coach. Also, Lovejoy needs to be bought out.
Lovejoy/Moore with the combined -33 in chances today. Magic by them. 9 total chances with them on the ice, 42 chances against on the 5 on 5.
Hynes says we have to have more offensive zone pressure, which he's right about.
The problem is that we've had a zillion games like this during this year.
He said tonight's game was on our offense, which I agree with, but it was also on the PK for being so terrible. It's been bad for weeks now, Coleman and Pietila have done a poor job on the PK. I'd keep them off of it, if anything. Lovejoy should have been second unit like 4 or 5 months ago.
It's hard to win a game 1-0 though and that's what it looked like we were going to have to do after awhile.
Maybe Greene shot the puck at him.
