Torts said he didnt think Grigs is playing badly he just needs to be in a top 6 and hasn't really done that much with the ice time he's gotten/not a place for him atm. Can't say I disagree.
Nobody on this team is very good at faceoffs. Boone Jenner is the only person respectable at them and I never see him on the ice in OT that I can recall. If winning faceoffs in OT were a prerequisite for playing in OT we should just give up and take the loser point which is what it seems like we already are doing a good job with.
Boone has started overtimes, if he wins the face off he immediately goes to change
We didn't understand each other. I meant that Grigo didn`t play perfectly for a long time, but one played, in the last game, on the contrary, decently, so I didn`t expect that he would be out. Although it`s clear that he has nothing to do in the 4th destructive line, as well as Texier.
I agree.
Which I think is a waste of time that I'm not going to both continuing to debate but I think winning faceoffs with this team in OT is given too much priority considering our performance in OT ever since Panarin left.
He scratched Stenlund too. The whole problem is a game. Besides his two goals, how many chances did you create? What were his assists? Important or assist for assist? How did you handle the puck, how many losses were there? But at first he got a lot of time. If he could not prove himself in attack, how did he play in defense, at the boards? I understand Grigo has to get used to the NHL, but the team doesn't have that much time, the fight is tough for every point and the matches are less and less.
Zach is also starting to rack up a pretty impressive list of late game turnovers which lead to goals for the other team.
