Bowey still looks like a young kid hanging in the balance. Some instances he makes very good plays, some instances he makes very bad plays. Either he will mature and get it right more times than not, or he will fizzle out of the NHL.

He thinks too slow for the game. The problem is that the only way to fix that is to play more games. Not sure I want to watch that.

The last time he touched the puck he turned it over on a terrible outlet pass. The NHL is tough, you get a split second to make a decision, and he's not capable of making the right one.

He needs to simplify his game and take the safe play. Same problem that Cholo has but it's worse with Bowey.

 

[Gniwder]

Still trying to figure out what Hronek was trying to accomplish defending that two on one.

If I was the coach that gets sorted out in practice tomorrow. No excuse for an NHL player not to lay out in that situation.

Considering the number of times this team gives away the puck, every D should be practicing 2 on 1 anyways.

Nick Jensen was a prime example of a defenseman who flourished under Blashill when he simplified his game. I think if we want Bowey to be Jensen, it will be a waste of some physical tools, but it might be the only way he lasts in the league.

Bowey is better than Jensen was at his age by a lot

I keep thinking Fabbri is Nyquist when skating around!

 

[Gniwder]

Another bad decision by Bowey...

 

[Gniwder]

The second and third lines look so discombobulated, ugly hockey...

I don't think defensively that is the case. Jensen did play better in his own end and on the PK.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Gator has to shoot that.

The difference between Bowey and Cholo is Bowey has the benefit of ~2 more years and being on a Stanley Cup winner to start off his career.

Gross.

 

[Hen Kolland]

This has been one of the more mind numbing boring games in a while

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

Damnit Bernie

 

[Sadekuuro]

Plenty of goalies get lit up on rebounds, but it's striking how often the first shot flies right through Bernier.

 

[RedMenace]

The second and third lines look so discombobulated, ugly hockey...

Flip playing a line above where he should be, Weird Flip playing at all, and no true 2nd line rug to tie it together.

 

[raymond23]

That 3rd line is so sad

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Holland wanted to get rid of Mrazek so badly but then brings Burned-eh here

 

[BIGZ40]

Bowey is just not a good defenceman right now. Provides no offense and isn't good defensively either. If your gonna give the guy all day to shoot you gotta be in the lane to block it.

He didn't play in the playoffs, Djoos took his spot.

 

[RedMenace]

He didn't play in the playoffs, Djoos took his spot.

But he was still on the team, and surrounded by the players and culture during that time. I have to imagine that has a pretty big impact on a young player.

And Per Djoos HAD to have had a moment when he wanted to name his kids after fruit.

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

Fabbri-Larkin-Bert there

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

Just shoot ffs

 

[RedMenace]

Hit the net ffs.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Larkin is having a tough luck game in the finishing department.

…. well there's a reason why the Caps traded him, right?

Also, Ehn and Abby need to freakin' shoot. Can't rely on Helm to be the only shooter on that line.

 

[raymond23]

VGK are impressive defensively
