we have had zero physical response to Vancouver, and no depth scoring to show for it. The majority of this roster is not contributing anything offiensively or anything physically/emotionally.
I hope McDrai rip into the rest of the team because it's pathetic to not only watch these passengers play, but also fail to intimidate and play the body or defend teammates on home ice.
The sad thing is we have a team full of 6'2+ players but they all play like their 5'6? f***, Yamo played more physical when he was with us.
Biggest reasons for playoff failure
1. Skinner is literally the worst playoff goalie in the cap era. Worst save percentage and his 5 times pulled is the most for 20 games played.. I think ever.
2. Nurse and Ceci just DO NOT work together, Nurse and Desharnais don't work either but they are consistently the worst pairing. Coaching staff is at least trying to limit their minutes but they almost only see 3rd line opposition and are getting crushed. Its like having 2 Ian Coles.
3. Depth scoring is pretty invisible however coaching staff is falling into the "load up the top line" mess again. All the good playoff teams right now are spreading the wealth thru the lineup.
Dallas top 9
Robertson - Hintz - Stankoven
Benn - Johnston - Pavelski
Marchment - Duchene - Seguin
Colorado
Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Ratanen
Nichushkin - Mittelstadt - Parise
Wood - Colton - Kiriranta
(Drouin is injured or this would be a little different)
Rangers
Kreider - Zibanejad - Roslovic
Panarin - Trocheck - Lafreniere
Cuylle - Wennberg - Kakko
Most are spreading out over 2 lines, some sprinking into the third.
We load up literally one line and thats it. You can't win like that.
Yea. Serevalli piece this morning was talking about it.
The worst goalie in the playoffs since 2005
Just f***ing brutal
