A few thoughts after ruminating about the game on the way home.
The team played its best game yet, but still can't pass and can't shoot straight.
Domingue made a case to be the backup to Raanta and to send Hill back down when Raanta returns. If, if he continues to play like he did tonight.
The Coyotes continue to pass the pucks to no one. They always seem to miss the intended recipient which costs them tons of opportunities. The team looked plain silly on the 2 minute power play because they just couldn't connect cleanly on a pass.
The defense is too gung ho and pinches way too much. Sometimes its a blunder because a forward doesn't notice and so doesn't move back high in the zone. Sometimes there's just no way for a forward to get there in time. Demers pinched and it cost us the breakaway goal by Kane.
Instead of Rinaldo, the team needs someone just to take important face offs. Where they find him, I have no idea.
The team races down the ice, gives up the puck and races back up the ice. It's like a bag skate out there. I guess that's what everyone wants, the excitement that speed brings.
