RIP Fugu Buffaloed & parabola
++++++ Stars in the 3rd period were out of this world. We kill a penalty and they never look back. Wave after wave of Geno/Sid just putting on a show. Way to come alive and make it happen.
+++ DeSmith: 4 goals against and he still has to make 10 grade a saves because this defense is so f***ing bad.
+ Adjustments ZAR to Geno's line and the florida boys with Horny worked in the 3rd period. It may not save the season, but it saved today.
--------- 5 man defensive unit. BRUTAL again. How people even think our goalies have a chance is ridiculous. It's grade a chance after chance after chance. The fact they are only giving up 4 is a miracle.
In-zone defense is a hot mess. It's Bylsma level bad. Tons of standing around and cutting off half the ice gives nothing. They need huge in-zone defensive adjustments. I'd fire whoever is in charge of creating the d-zone coverages. Immediately. And i'd go get a coach who can help build that defense back up. The 5 man in-zone defensive group is horrific.
If we do not find a way to fix the 5 man defensive group from the red line to our d-zone, we aren't making it into the playoffs or past the first round. It needs significant help.
-- Consistency: Copy/paste from yesterday. When this team wants it, they control the game. When they give half ass attempts, they get beat. The Pens control that.
