Yeah. Kronwall gets all kinds of points for sucking defensively on both goals against...
And then doing NOTHING for one assist and letting the defenseman scored on himself for the other point
Kindl's slappers today caused several scoring chances. He's skating the puck out of the zone with confidence. He's holding the line

LANA!!!!!
Called it.
Of course the ONLY goal Datsyuk has scored in the past 12 games is...one where neither Abdelkader or Cleary are his linemates.
No kidding... Pavel has had a much harder time shaking Cleary and/or Abs then any of the top D-men he faces every night. But he just kept his head down, powered through, waited for Babcock to forget to send 11 or 8 out with him, and there's your game winner... that's all there is to it.

Kronwall must be the luckiest guy in the NHL doing nothing and putting up all of these points on an offensively challenged team. Kindl had some nice shifts, but he continues to make extremely weak plays killing offensive zone chances and barely escaping back breaking turnovers.
Hard to blame the defense on the weak goals Howard gave up.

For a second their i thought KH was just about to announce a trade from the way Trevor introduced him.

No, it's not hard to blame the defense for those weak goals. Because it was also weak defense.
You're downright lying about Kindl's "extremely weak plays" killing offensive zone.
But that's no surprise.

Not sure here, but it would seem to be asking a lot of Kronwall to fire the slap shot from just inside the blue line, then charge the net in time to pull off the Pavel stick-lift on Petry, steal the puck and then beat the goalie himself.
But I've never played defenseman, so I could be way off.

Abs is so useless out there. Pavel will be on the left wing side of the net. Abs is battling one on one on the boards... All the D has to do is try to keep the play going to the right side.
And it works very freakin' time.
It's child's play

Yeah, me seeing things differently than you is lying. I could say the same thing about you.

One thing I've noticed about Kindl's play is that he's way too eager to shoot the puck any chance he gets. Not always a bad thing but it sort of seems like he's trying too hard to get points without being patient enough.

Im OK where we're at
Right before the OT goal I was yelling out loud questioning why Datsyuk had yet to touch the puck outside of the defensive zone in OT. It was driving me nuts. It was reminiscent of when he played with Hossa. Getting Datsyuk the puck in the neutral zone when he gains speed is huge. Finally Franzen delayed and made a good play to get him the puck and the game was over.
Smith had another tough game.
Abdelkader has some of the worst vision I've ever seen. There were two or three times where he received a pass with space in the ozone, immediately put his head down and attempted to cycle by himself when he had passing lanes. He's not bad at playing in the gritty areas and can win some battles, but he is absolutely clueless when he has the puck on his stick. That's why he has so little tangible output.
I found it interesting that Babcock gave Nyquist an OT shift when he wouldn't let Tatar on the ice anytime after the 10min mark of the 3rd period or at all in OT.
Kronwall creates offense, but he and E were again on the ice for goals against. Z's line for one as well. Our top guys have to stop getting scored on so much.

I have a quote from him.
"respect the Pavel Datsyuk he in Fin9 class unlike that no good piece of **** the Taylor Hall I make him humble old country way."

That says it all. But you can hardly blame him with this team's inability to score.

Vancouver has been struggling mightily lately. That said, we still need to come out flying from the drop.

You said that Kronwall let the defenseman score on himself for Kronwall's other point... not sure what 55 could have down to prevent the own-goal there.

But we barely beat Edmonton tonight. Tomorrow we might barely beat Vancouver with tired legs.
