Actually, I didn't like Nemeth's game yesterday and also he was acting like a chicken when Perry went mental and confronted him, I felt embarrassed. :-( I cannot understand why a big strong physical guy like Nemeth "Turning the other cheek" like that. The Avs needed something at the time, ignition. This is hockey and other rules and books apply on the ice, not the bible, he should be able to win a fight vs Perry or at least trying. Coward
Also I am increadibly frustrated by the lack of good slapshot shooters in this team, it's too pretty sometimes. MacKinnon is world class obviously but the rest? Zadorov yes, great slapper, but not using his weapon much enough. I want some pressure Canadian style and scoring on rebounds, easy goals.
There were/are reasons why I prefer NHL comparing to SHL but now the Avs is looking like a SHL team. Too pretty, too soft and also in a classical laid back/relaxed/calm Swedish way not playing hard with urgency until 10 minutes left of the game, frustrating. Finally but not last the NHL referees starting to look like soft SHL referees not allowing physical play? Wtf? :-(
The Ducks definately a better team comparing to what the standings are telling us though but it's still not an excuse for losing. I have a feeling the Ducks may surprise several teams in the last phase of this season.
