Yes. And basketball players do a lot of that shooting practice on their own. That's why practice courts have multiple hoops for them to shoot at. Plus free throws are a little different than a penalty shot. There is no one in the shooters face or standing in front of the rim trying to stop their shot. How are you going to practice shootouts? Have Korpi or Elvis play goalie for an hour and risk getting hurt while guys practice their approaches? You can't just put a cone there or an empty net, you need something there that can move or whats the point? These guys shoot at empty nets all the time.How do basketball players get better at shooting free throws ... practice .. and often it’s difference between winning and losing . We had 4 shootout attempts , not one was close . Why is Tex not shooting ?
Foudy has missed the last two Monsters games. He may be hurt. The AHL doesn't disclose injuries. You can usually tell by warm ups if a guy is out skating, but they don't show the warm up on the steam so I don't know if he is out there. Being as though he is there to play and isn't, I'll go out on a limb and say he is dinged up.Bemstrom and Foudy should be in . Grigs , Nash to the citgo .

coach needs to look in the mirror .. it’s on him .. reminds me of Greg Schiano turning Ohio State into one of the worst defenses in recent memory .. between his scheme , and him in their ear , players played tenative, and were awful thru whole year
I talk about this for a long time, Roslovik and Atkinson need a player like Jenner or Foligno, who will play well on defense, at the boards, without the puck, and not a technician who, with their style, will not actually get the puck.- The new lines, temporary or not, seemed to help. Jenner-Roslovic-Atkinson clicked really well tonight and got about 77% xG%.
This. Scotty Bowman knew why Daug Brown was assigned to Fedorov and Kozlov, or Babcock and Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Holmstrom line, now in Washington Ovechkin-Bakstrom -Wilson.- Laine was like a different player all of a sudden, perhaps Foligno and Bjorkstrand were what he needed. We just had a Finnish poster in here saying those were the two he needed. Playdrivers, in a word. People will complain about Foligno and Jenner playing with talented players, but that's what we need sometimes. Good lines are made up of players with complementary skills.
I do not agree, Domi is a good player, and today he was not the main reason, this can happen to anyone. Here it is better to think about the actions of Savard, who was the hero of this evening.Fire Domi into the moon. He's costing us games. I haven't wanted somebody gone this badly since Johansen. I know plenty of folks were praying to god to get rid of Wennberg. But you didn't lose because of Wenny, just nothing happened on the ice. Bad things happen on the ice with Domi.

I mean I would much rather see Stenlund and Domi on 3rd and 4th line center over Nash

It`s difficult to play in offense if deffensmen can`t pass. Torts can`t teach some players make with puck what they should learn in the children hockey school. I can understand Peeke and Carlsson they`re young and most likely they are afraid of making a mistake, but Gavrikov and Savard? Savard was a Chicago agent in our ranks, and I can't understand his actions any other way. IMHO, he should be benched.
By the way I wouldn't blame Korpisalo, it's not his fault that it is a mess before him.
It's not dumb at all.Torts said they don't have time to practice 3v3 this year, which is super unfortunate, and possibly dumb. Either way that wasn't an issue tonight, they had the puck in most of it, with the bulk of the chances.
I just want to point out that three of the most popular players to kick around on here this year (Jenner, Cam, Foligno) have been our best players for a little bit now. For a while at the start, it was Bjorkstrand and Texier. But ever since then its been these three (And Laine and Roslovic in there as well) as our most consistent and best players.
I really liked Laine-Foligno-Bjorkstrand. It appears Roslovic is the one who got Cam going, not Laine. Glad to see them split up and FINALLY trying to prop up Bjorkstrand.
Jenner-Rosie-Cam was good too. However it really is unfortunate that Texier is getting left behind here. All of our top tier talent is taken, and he's left with the extras. I would say maybe Domi-Texier-Robinson would work out, but that line would be a mess defensively and benched a lot. Domi is just the ultimate square peg and my patience is running thin with him. His best shift of the game was when he took a penalty and hounded the puck on the forecheck to touch it.
I think we can officially put the Grigorenko experiment to bed for a while. At least until the trade deadline sale of UFA's. If we're going to run someone and barely play them, I'd rather it be Bemstrom.
I'd run with
Laine-Foligno-Bjork
Jenner-Roslovic-Cam
Domi-Texier-Robinson
Bemstrom-Nash-Stenlund
Wish we'd give Vehvelainen a chance. We know what Korpisalo is now.
