overall i thought we looked ok. long stretches of bad though. we were running around alot again and thats not a good sign. too many missed assignments and odd man chances against. need to tighten up our zone man d. girardi continues to underwhelm. at times staal looked downright clueless. mcd is still playing TOO MUCH and trying to do TOO MUCH. let the game come to you ryan. geez
zuke made some really pretty passes as did kevin hayes. hayes is looking more comfortable each game and av is beginning to trust him more. like his size and composure. i will gladly eat crow on him if he continues to skate like this. he played very well.
overall the forwards played well just not enough solid scoring chances against a very good russian netminder.
jt miler hasnt done enough to stay in the lineup but again, HES NOT A CENTERMAN. let him play the edge where he can free wheel and use his speed and size. too much thinking at center and thats not his strong suit. come on av, give the kid a chance to succeed. play him on the wing.
nash was a monster. he is certainly proving me wrong so far. he looks completely different so far this season. energized and fast. if he plays like this, hes one of the most dangerous forwards in the nhl.
i though john moore played great. he took his open shots, got some quality minutes and seemed aware of getting back and not getting caught. his effortless skating is so different from staals long laboring strides and girardis sloth like attempts to move up ice.
carolina played a rope a dope road game and relied on their hot goaltender. we found a way and thats all that matters.
