Some thoughts after last night:
Barzal is getting noticeably better every game and everyone is noticing it (even butch). Time to move somebody that could skate on his line. Ladd and Bailey are useless. It's amazing how he gets into the zone with speed and then its just "oh look, nobody's here"
Emphasis on Ladd being useless. Doesn't even have a quick release right now, he could score when he has time and space. Most players can.
Faceoffs murdered us last night. Not only did we lose them but we lost a lot of them clean.
The players don't even know what to do with the puck when they get it inside on the powerplay because NOBODY IS ON THIER SHOOTING SIDE. Can they players not just tell doug that it doesn't work?
4th line had a much better game and we're pretty decent on the forecheck last night
Pelech and Mayfield, they look NHL caliber
Ho-sang had a rough game but that's gonna happen sometimes. Would like to see him more involved in the defensive zone and neutral zone. He kinda just swings his stick around
JT looked like Bailey last night, especially missing that empty net.
Next game I go:
Lee-JT-Bailey
Beau-Barzal-Eberle
Ladd-Nelson-JHS
Kulemin-cizikas-clutterbuck
Think that second line has a lot of potential
