Special teams, special plays, special players
Good thing the Stars started the season off strong because they're falling fast and have no clutch bone in their body past 60 minutes. Yeesh,
i cant tell if you’re joking but glendening is quite literally the worst player on this team.Coaches trying to be so smart that they end up dumb. The formula for successful OT was established last season. We ain't winning shit until Faksa and Glendening start it off.
So? He started OT regularly last season and they won most of them.i cant tell if you’re joking but glendening is quite literally the worst player on this team.
Glendenning played 3:28 minutes of OT last year and 0 goals were scored while he was on the ice.So? He started OT regularly last season and they won most of them.
Exactly, Bones figured out that the way to win after a terrible OT record 2 seasons ago was to waste the opponents best unit against our defensive players who would kill time and gain possession, then hand it off to our best unit against their #2 or 3 group and voila, we win way more than we lose.Glendenning played 3:28 minutes of OT last year and 0 goals were scored while he was on the ice.
This happened a few times but it wasn't particularly common with Glendenning. Are you sure you aren't thinking of Faksa? He was the one we were meming about because he started several OTs in a row.Exactly, Bones figured out that the way to win after a terrible OT record 2 seasons ago was to waste the opponents best unit against our defensive players who would kill time and gain possession, then hand it off to our best unit against their #2 or 3 group and voila, we win way more than we lose.
Putting Miro and Robo out against their best unit right away is a repeatedly proven failed strategy at this point. Doing it yet again makes the coach an idiot (or insane, by Eienstein's definition).
I was talking about both originally because, as I recall, they usually started together along with Lindell. Was there another forward Faksa would frequently start with?This happened a few times but it wasn't particularly common with Glendenning. Are you sure you aren't thinking of Faksa?

Looks like Glendenning started 3 OTs last year and all 3 were with Faksa. However, Faksa started a lot more with various partners besides Glendenning.I was talking about both originally because, as I recall, they usually started together along with Lindell.

In any case, start with your two best defensive forwards who can win faceoffs, waste the other team's time for a minute, then put out your big guns with possession already secured. It's a proven winning strategy no matter how much fans whined about it. Starting with your best offensive players clearly doesn't work for this group.

A neutral zone start in 3v3 is almost always the opening faceoff, but for Glendenning I checked the shift chart to make sure he actually opened OT.
