Game 66 @ Washington
4-3 OTW
ES GOALS FOR
2nd 4:41 Tlusty (Samson, Staal)
+1 Spacek for a nice soft entry pass to get the rush started.
+1 Staal and
+1 Samson, whose passing on that play was really nice to watch.
+1 Tlusty for illustrating why there should never be 4 defenders inside a single faceoff circle.
2nd 8:30 LaRose (Gleason, Allen)
I'm going to defer to the crowd on this one. Do you guys think Gleason put that puck off the boards on purpose, or was it a terrible shot? That's going to determine the distribution of pluses here.
Edit: Consensus says to give Gleason a + for the possibly-lucky/possibly-clever shot, and LaRose for pretty much not missing the open net.
3rd 1:45 Sutter (Skinner, Gleason)
+1 Wideman...
+1 Sutter for proving that he is in fact good on breakaways.
OT 3:38 Faulk (Sutter)
+1 Faulk for making an outstanding play at both ends of the ice.
+1 Sutter for the prettiest little saucer pass you could ever see.
ES GOALS AGAINST
1st 13:59 Brouwer (Aucoin)
-1 Allen, first for getting driven completely out of his lane and behind the net, then for failing to contain the loose puck OR check Brouwer in any way.
edit: Also -1 and MOE point Gleason for giving up too much ground on the zone entry, complete with missed sweep checks.
edit: And another -1 and MOE point for initiating that sequence with a turnover, and flubbing an opportunity to stop it from developing.
2nd 4:11 Beagle (Orlov, Wideman)
-1 Stewart, who left Orlov wide open to defend a large patch of empty ice, but not the passing lane.
-1 Gleason... not clear why he thought it would be a good idea to charge the point there.
3rd 17:08 Laich (Johansson, Carlson)
-1 LaRose for that laughable attempt at an open-ice hit.
-1 Allen, who has been around long enough to know you play the pass in a 2-on-1.
Totals for the game:
+2 Sutter
+1 Faulk
+1 Samson
+1 Spacek
+1 Staal
+1 Tlusty
-1 Gleason
-1 Stewart
-2 Allen
