really a bad time for that penalty. the skater coming off skated to the bench door instead of hopping over; made the difference.
If Cooley picks him up and there is no goal, it was his responsibility coming across the blue line. This is where Cooley needs to improve, the little things without the puck.
That was not a good penalty. I give that Calgary player credit for that reverse shoulder, but I give Kesselring credit for trying to hit the player. On Kadri's goal Kesselring got turned around, but also Stecher let his player go around him as well. Good goal by Calgary.
Correct. Kesselring's back was at Kadri, he had no chance in trying to block that pass, but Stecher got beat and allowed that pass in the first place. Not Cooley's fault. Cooley was like the rest of us and thought Kesselring would play that different and pick up Kadri. Cooley could have played that better as well but he was probably thinking rebound. If you watch closely, when Cooley noticed Kesselring was turned around he picked up speed to try and cover Kadri. It all starts with Stecher getting beat.

No doubt our defense is not playoff caliber. I find it hard to be angry with a player who plays up to his potential. That said, we need better D. I’d take back Chychrun in a country second. I’d also trade significant value in picks/prospects for a 1D or top 10 draft pick and take a potential 1D. We need to balance our talent pool w d prospects as well.

Trade a couple of future 2nds/3rds for Ferraro. Trade a couple of current 2nds/3rds to move up for Yakemchuk. The former can help right now and is the same age as Durzi. The latter is AHL eligible after next season.

Ferraro would be a big help on defense for sure, unfortunately he plays the same side as the bulk of our future studs.

I can’t bring myself to count those unhatched chickens. Simashev, sure. I’m hopeful about the others but not banking on them yet.

Kesselring knew there was it was a 2-on-2 when he began transitioning to defense...of course he knew someone was on the back door and it's his responsibility to move back to defend or block the pass...he was in no man's land, doing nothing to block pass and not moving back to guard Kadri.
He was there in time to do one or the other and did neither
(secretly wishes someone else would step up so he wouldn't have to go to the all-star game every year

Precisely. He contributed zero value to that play.

Cooley was even with Kadri between the blue line and center line, Kesslering glanced back and saw that Cooley had him. Cooley wasn't coming back as hard as he could, Kadri was his guy, its on Cooley, go watch the replay. I'm not picking on Cooley, he should have had Kadri covered, lifted his stick, inside position.
Kadri was Kesselring's responsibility, and yes, Cooley could have been coming back harder and he had the inside position, but I believe he was thinking rebound. There were a comedy of mistakes on that play, and it started with Stecher getting beat on the outside. Then we were scrambling.

Didn't get voted in
A coyote will never get voted in until they change it to a player vote instead of fan.
f*** the fans ..they know NOTHING!

agree completely...can't have a 'fans' vote, let the players vote, they'll get it 'more correct' than the fans.
he is also a 23yo rookie plus he came up in EDM system he is learning new system.

He's 24...but he's never been a good defender...that's the problem.
Yesterday he only played 11mins, Moser who is our best defender played 26, the most of anyone.
Everyone knows we need upgrades on defense, so BA will address and it will either be a "stop gap" type of guy like Ferraro who will make the team better but will eventually be replaced by Simashev, Szuber, Duda, Langlois, etc...or it will be a 'core' piece like a UFA signed Hanifin.
For me, rather than trading assets for Ferraro, I'd just rather sign Matt Roy, Pesce, DeMelo who are all RHD which will help out moving forward giving that the only RHD prospects are Soderstrom (still sketchy on weather he's an NHL defender) and Maveric Lamoureux, who won't be ready for 2yrs
We have Moser, Durzi, and then everyone else thrown into a blender. Choose your poison.

I know...I hope Durzi & Moser are signed long term and then we get upgrades on everyone else.
I don't need Stecher, Brown, Valimaki, Kesselring or Dumba back if we get upgrades on all of them
