his mistake seems to be forcing a pass that is leading to a turnover rather than accepting there isn't a play to be made at the blue line and dumping it in.
he played like all of the B`s did with the exception of maybe Marchand and Bergy, poorly, slow to make puck decisions
Sens are a pain in the arse to play against, especially in the neutral zone where Boucher clearly instructs his teams to hang out, make a cup of coffee and sit there waiting for the opponents
On the flip side, I didn`t think Cassidy adjusted well to that game plan, when I see a trap team, I`ve always felt pretty much the only way to beat that trap is with speed. Players using the trap are often stationary and the B`s tried to pass their way through it rather than skate their way through it.
The only two guys who forced the play were Krug and C Miller with some decent speed coming through the neutral zone which essentially eliminated the effectiveness of that trap
I would have had a few of the B`s quicker players come back deeper for the puck and try to skate their way through it but I`m just a jackwagon sitting on his arse at home, what do I know?
