Maybe they are getting 2-3 times more because they are trying 2-3 times more for bounces to go their way. Just a theory.
I will say it again, don't obsess over the goals. Look at what TO is trying the other times they don't score to see the pattern. They are not trying to beat Holts directly, 123456 nor 7 hole. I think its a brilliant move. It is working to the point they have Holts so befuddled he is practicing by himself. Why would he do that, if its all been blind dumb luck?
Other teams crest crest away, foolishly I might add. If you take 100 shots 1 has to go in. We have seen the red white and blue do that for 3 decades of playoff... failure.
I will stick to my guns and think unless Holts can adjust, we should expect 3-4 more per game against.
Babcock is a pain in the ass. Also evidenced through his end of game stall tactics. Little that is happening, is a coincidence.
As far as Babcock goes the CAPS should be lighting up the league demanding he be given delay of game minors. The league probably won't because it's Babcock.
Throwing 40 pucks a game into the tangle of skates and legs a game trying to get the bounces is fine but it still comes down to lucky bounces. TO should keep trying it until it doesn't work and then change.
However, the best defense to this is the way the CAPS played the first period. In the other end of the ice. The mistake was not continuing to press in the 3rd. They spent almost the entire time on their heals. That test of wills must be won and we can get another win.
