Hate to offend you Jmac, but Doc is looking like another big guy who can’t process the game at the top level. Any words about that?

Could be the coaching

HC warning him NEVER to make one mistake........play defense.........

Sully is a big part of the problem, I'm amazed that more people don't see it

Maybe. I’m a big believer that Pettersson/Marino stopped listening to the coach for these playoffs. They’re playing way different than how they usually play.

For some reason, I feeling like blaming Jeff Carter (in part) for ERod's ridiculously stupid play and penalty last night.

I don't know why, and I admit it's totally illogical, but why couldn't Cartsy's magical leadership and experience have influenced ERod (either explicitly or telepathically) to not be such a f***ing idiot.

So I'm just going to go with it, however unreasonable.

His shot was also pretty good. He was beating goalies from the top of the circle. Now it's completely dead.

I'm not saying the guy is great or even overall good, but he does have 4 goals in these 6 playoff games. His ability to put pucks in the net is not a problem right now.

I have no idea what this is based on, and he wasn't given the opportunity to prove anything one way or another, aside from the fact that he's still a rookie who is being thrown into the fire of never having played in the NHL playoffs before.

I thought he was absolutely solid last night. He was excellent positionally, basically playing the C spot down low in the D zone on some shifts, and showed some effectiveness on the forecheck.

The only problem with DOC last night is that he wasn't played more in the 2nd and 3rd because Sullivan (arguably understandably) is trying to shelter him. I would have absolutely given him a few more shifts in each of those periods, and possibly more if he remained solid on each of them.

I have absolutely zero concerns with DOC's brain or processing ability.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Didn't they play DOC like less than 5 minutes or something?

Tough to come to any conclusion one way or the other, there.

Lol like a third to half of that list is going to be gone by August 1st.

Turns out that we would merely wish half of that list would have been gone by August 1st.

It used to be an exciting group going forward though.
