Perlini- Stepan-Keller

Why does Domi suck so much now? What happened to him?

I thought Domi had a good game last night but is playing C and has two 4th liners with him.I think that he remains sound defensively. He needs this season to end as soon as possible. He lost his confidence.
After Martinook missed the opportunity for us to go up 2-0, everything went downhill. Raanta did not have a good game, by his standards, but he didn't have much support either.Rsaanta had 3 go in he should have had. Raanta has to make a save sometimes. True the D wasn't good either.

I knew that was going to be a goal at the opposite blueline. You can literally see the team become befuddled and lose composure very early in a shift that will result in a goal against. They lack the ability to cope with in-shift adversity.My favorite moment of the game was that time when Gaudreau skated in completely alone and untouched - essentially a penalty shot - on Raanta's blocker side while our defense (including our de-facto captain!) were standing watchfully at the left post. So vigilant! They had a great view of the goal. They could have posted it to Snapchat, considering how little they were doing otherwise.
The one PP Stepan had the puck and was on the side boards and he just stops and stickhandles for what seemed like a minute, and no one else was moving trying to get open. I blame the guys on the PP more than MacLean. We aren't moving the puck on the PP so it makes it very easy to defend against.Our PP is so bad. I hated the MacLean hire. He needs to go. We need a assistant coach that can actually make a PP better not worse. MacLean has a horrendous PP track record. Hard to imagine a guy who has proven so thoroughly over so many years that he's that bad at coaching PPs. Yet we gave him another chance
The problem with depending on that 3RD spot for toughness is that we really need another RHS PP option from the blueline. I don't like Demers on PP1 and I don't like Goligoski playing RD with OEL. Think that set up has been one of the reasons why we've had such a tough time maintaining the possession at the blueline with the man advantage. OEL always be pinchin' and Goligoski is all twisted up. I'd prefer any RD we pick up to be somebody who can be very effective on the PP (even if he's a specialist and doesn't contribute much more than that).Continually pushed around by Calgary, LA and Anaheim. Need to get tougher next season. Crouse back will help, need a 6/7 Dman like Shenn......but nastier, drafting Brady Tkachuk would also help (if we draft 4th).

Saw the same thing. Guys were standing still. Stepan, and alllll 4 other guys are just in one spot haha. How in the world did they expect someone to be open in that scenario if no one was going to get open or get into a dangerous position? Just seemed like dumb hockey.
