Bit. ..Johnny days..."what are you going to do" ...you know...the snake bit defense for not converting..Still...even scoring issues aside...the facts are that you have a player shooting 5.9% who muster only 1 SHOT ...that is all
..1 SHOT on goal in the game vs.Ottawa..and he expects to get our of slumps with that "effort"? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?SHOOT a lot more...but even shooting aside, the great defensive plus that he is (allegedly) was a -2 on this game ...yes 1 of these negative goals at evens was recorded when Ottawa scored as he stepped on the ice from the p-box..but on any case you could say his penalty caused the jeopardy that led to that goal anyway..Also ...the
segment where he lost a key faceoff in our end on a pk ...did not cost us a goal but we spent too long and expended too much energy killing it chasing the puck around because of our best faceoff guy not winning a key faceoff as we expect him to..Then on his next 2 shifts which were von a pp for us..he kills that pp by losing 2 more faceoffs in then o-zone. .we lose possession off the hop and they clear...so 3 key faceoffs in a row our supoised best fails in the dot in cucial situations..So even without the scori g issues he was not $10.5 million great in other aspects of the game...
