For that matter why is the corpse of John Carlson playing 27 minutes and Nick Jensen is only playing 17 minutes at 5v5?
Jensen was at 75% xGF playing primarily against the Hall line!
These last two games haven’t thrilled me from a coaching standpoint!
Looked like Schultz gaffe if you just watch the movements of the players, but we don't know the communication or the plans that may have been garbled. That may be a byproduct of not having a guy in the lineup for so long.
Come on, dude - you are placing this loss entirely on that stupid play behind the net in OT?
There is so much more wrong with this game, than that....
Carlson may have had 27 minutes of ice time, but I’d say only 10 of those minutes were on D. Dude was high up in the play acting like a forward and would dog it back.
Is that what I said? No. Read my comment in the series thread.
I think it's more like Dmitry Orlov's Partner got more time than Zdeno Chara's Partner, but yeah, they of course can change the pairings.Why is Justin Schultz playing 24 minutes and Nick Jensen is only playing 17 minutes at 5v5?
Going to keep banging this drum! It’s insane!
Let it all out. It will all be OK.Lol what the f***? That was NOT offside. Literally not a single Bs player was inside the blue line when Smith was crossing it after the dump in. Really getting sick of these stupid takes about the reffing, made up offsides and all the bullshit that has no correlation with what happened in OT. Samsonov sucks, I don't care what anybody says. As a goalie you give your team a complete effort from the starting faceoff to your team's OT winning goal. He killed them and that's it. That's the story of the game. That said, another story of the game is Ovechkin lookin like an old bum outside of a chance Mantha created for him. Tf you yelling for? You have to lead by example and the team will follow. What did you create this whole game offensively? Total non factor, f***ed up 2 or 3 PPs by just simply not being able to stop the puck at the bluel line after cleanly won faceoff. I swear if I was him I'd be ashamed to try and blame somebody for their poor performance this game. You and your future roommate in a nursing home Backy have been taking the wind out of team's sails for 80+ minutes straight. Tf are you acting like you some hero without mask. Sit your ass down, it's not 2010 anymore, you're not that good.
Hey yeah I didn't see your comment over there. I was replying to this one only
I don't have a multi-page essay about what's wrong. But the team vibe / chemistry is awful. Somebody's been boffing somebody else's wife / girlfriend type of thing that locker room is messed up
It won't. They are bad.Let it all out. It will all be OK.
Binnington won the Cup as a rookie on a team that was in last place halfway through the season two years ago. Holtby's best playoff showing arguably was as a rookie. It's not true that you need veteran goaltending... you need solid goaltending (and luck).I think most of us knew this was not our year. Win the next game and we are fine but even if we make it out of this series I just don't see us winning it all. Samsonov has a bright future (if his off the ice antics get better) but we are lacking the veteran goaltending you need to make a deep run.
