So for today's game i wrote down WHY i gave the + or - to each player and when:
1st Period
Kronwall got a + and - at 14:05 for intercepting a pass (nice) followed by giving it away in the slot (-).
Dekeyser with a great poke check at 16:25 (+)
Kronwall with a + for a great board play at 13:24
On the first goal (long before the goal) I gave a plus to smith at 12:50 for making a nice backhand pass behind himself (+) then Dekyser made a similar backhand pass to the forwards (+) this left several forecheckers in our zone, created sorta an odd man rush followed by Smith (+) great position and goal 12:58.
Kindl took a hit and made a play while doing it 12:15 (+)
Kronwall (+) 11:25 for a good break out pass
Kindl (-) lost control of pusck 8:04
Kronwall + created space with patience then made a good pass 6:04
Marchenko, nice shot 3:53 (wrister from the boards that found its way through)
2nd Period
Dekeyser tried a back pass again, this time it didnt work well (-) 19:00
Kronwall (-) allowed player to walk infront of the net for a scoring chance (debatable if this was his fault.. but i gave him lots of pluses so far, so i dinged him here). 16:30
Kronwall (+) for an accurate bounce pass 16:10. This was sorta routine, but the pass was so nice that Ericson could clear it so easy, i was impressed so he got the plus.
Marchenko 15:17 (+) this is where he stepped up, hit their puck carrier and played the puck back at the same time. It was a sweet play.
14:30 Kronwall (+) for a good spin play ( he spun around to great space.. cant remember exactly).
Ericsson (+) at 11:53 for a solid pass.followed by 11:49 (-) for bad positioning, this is when there was a turnover at their blue line, and they turned around and got a break away (kindl took a hooking penalty here which i did not minus him for, because he took the penalty on a breakaway trying to cover for E, so i called that a good penalty.
Marchenko (+) for dodging a monster check at 12:52 and then making a play.
Dekeyser 10:30 + for a smart pass.
Smith 9:59 + for a centering pass while being covered by 2 guys. Well done.
Marchenko 9:30 Turnover (-)
Kronwall 5:11 great pass (+)
Ericsson 5:40 bad pass (-)
Smith 4:44 (-) for that one handed holding penalty behind the net
Kindly 2:34 (-) for icing (i only call this if it seems unecessary)
0:56 Smith + for a good break out pass. (stretch pass that worked)
3rd Period
Kindl + 17:00 (4on4) good offensive rush where he got in close to the net follwed by 16:50 good def play on lose puck infront of the net on the rush going the other way.
Marchenko (++) 16:04 I gave him 2 + here one for positioning himself very well for the shot, and 2 for scoring. (he couldnt have scored without that nice positioning, so i felt it was worth 2+.
Ericsson (-) 15:33 for turnover and scoring chance against. (Kronwall passed him the puck and he deflected it out front, could have been a goal against easy.
DK 14:18 (+) took a hit and made a play behind the net.
14:50 Marchenko bobble (-) Kindl (+) good save on marchenko's possible turnover.
13:50 (+) for Ericsson for a nice one timer on a good pass from Kronwall (+). Note this one was sort of routine, but kronwall and ericsson had combined for a good one timer 3 times in this game, so i finally gave them so points for it
13:16 + for Ericsson for making a quick pass which created a 2on1 chance for us.
12:15 + Ericsson for making a good short pass in the D zone (standard way our D break out, but I am always impressed when the forecheckers just get absolutely nothing when they seem to be in the right positions).
Kronwall (+) at 7:20 for a solid pass.
Kindl (-) 3:43 for losing a board battle he should have.
Dekeyser 0:25 good play while shorthanded near end of the game +
This game me final scores of
Kronwall 9+ 2-
Ericsson 5+ 3-
Dekeyser 5+ 1-
Kindl 4+ 4-
Marchenko 6+ 2-
Smith 4+ 2-
This is how i compared to loojay's scores:
Kronwall 9+ 2- vs 3+ 3-
Ericsson 5+ 3- vs 6+ 7-
Dekeyser 5+ 1- vs 9+ 3-
Kindl 4+ 4- vs 6+ 4-
Marchenko 6+ 2- vs 9+ 3-
Smith 4+ 2- vs 3+ 6-
We had much different scores on Kronwall. If you look at my history I gave kronwall quite a few pluses today for solid passes. I thought he was hitting everyones tape today and hard. I was impressed, he was clearly different than most other D men today (for me). I expect loojay didnt score these type of plays as well because they are almost routine for Kronwall so could easily be overlooked. I also may have been generous. Feel free to check my time stamps on kronwall to debate my +'s.
We both agreed Ericsson made some good plays today. Loojay found more errors in Ericsson's game than I did.
Dekeyser had a solid game as both our scores had him many more + than -.
This also applis to Marchenko who neither of us said he had more than 2 mistakes today, while having 6 and 9 good plays today. So solid game for him.
Kindl we gave almost the same scores too. With 4+ 4- and loojay gave him 2 more pluses, likely for offensive plays? He was doing well in the O zone today. Either way pretty solid game for him, but he did have a decent number of small mistakes.
Smith me and loojay differed. I have him 4+ 2-; loojay 6- 3+. So he made 3-4 good plays today. And 2 to 6 bad plays. Maybe I missed some. But if we average out to 4 bad plays. and 3-4 good plays, smith's game similar to Kindl for today.
