Staal out sick. That's a good start to the night

 

[TaLoN]

 

[Uberdachen]

No Staal?

 

[chchelseII]

Gorg just said EK and Suters offensive numbers are similar. Ummmmmm..........no.

In other news, Haula stretchered off the ice with probable knee damage. That sucks.

 

[2Pair]

that play that Brodin just made is the epitome of his career. Makes a great skating move to just undress the forechecker, turns around with nobody within 50 feet of him, and chips it off the glass towards Foligno.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Ugh... That was dirty. Wide open

 

[TaLoN]

Nino... pathetic

 

[HwT]

Zucker with bad defensive zone coverage.

Edit: Zucker and Nino both

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Ek turnover. Nino with a dump in the d-zone.

 

[2Pair]

Zucker and Ek with no clue what's going on in their end

 

[2Pair]

Zucker with bad defensive zone coverage.

Edit: Zucker and Nino both

Not sure why Zucker was playing center in the d zone, but he didn't do it well

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Wasn’t his guy that scored.

 

[2Pair]

Wasn’t his guy that scored.

It was his failure that allowed a tap-in back door pass through the seam. Nino could've had better coverage, but of the three forwards, he was the only one close to doing his job.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Power play, let’s get it boys!

 

[Digitalbooya]

Come on Nino!!! Jeez!

 

[2Pair]

Granlund's zone entries haven't been good this year.

 

[HwT]

You guys watch our election circus that closely?

American politics is the single greatest source of entertainment for us slightly ahead of American sports.

It was his only job. Close wasn’t good enough.

 

[TaLoN]

Zucker needs to be off the pp yesterday. He's not a good pp player AT ALL

 

[HwT]

Zucker should have had the position, Nino should have had the guy, neither paid attention and the Sharks scored.

 

[2Pair]

It was his only job. Close wasn’t good enough.

I agree with that, but he was still the only forward even doing his job. That pass getting through the seam is a much bigger failure than getting beat to the net by a step.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Hell yeah. Corsi’d the shit out those fools.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I agree with that, but he was still the only forward even doing his job. That pass getting through the seam is a much bigger failure than getting beat to the net by a step.

Unless he closes that lane and then the puck goes to his guy (Thornton).

 

[2Pair]

the center doesn't have a "guy" in the D zone

 

[TaLoN]

If you call allowing your man to get behind you and then not move your feet and just reach forward with your stick as you trail the man you let go by his job... then sure he was doing his job.

The very fact that Nino was trailing his man and making no REAL effort with his feet to try to make up for it, tells me he read doing everything BUT his job.
