I wonder if Eichel is not 100%.
He definitely wasn't last night
I wonder if Eichel is not 100%.
Jacks line was out there after the timeout and goalie pull at the 2min mark on the ozone faceoff. They went off briefly for a breather and werent able to get back in until about the 30 sec mark. They werent going to play the entire 2min, especially with them expending so much energy just trying to get the damn puck.Eichel and skinner come on with twenty seconds left to get one scoring chance, even though the goalies been pulled for a couple minutes and we manage 0 shots in this time. Mittlestadt and Pilut looked like they tried hard though.
Housley needs to go on waivers
That is all.
Because Ullmark was starting tonight? If it wasnt a b2b situation, maybe you do it, but it'd be one thing if Hutton was truly awful, even if he was fighting the puck, it seems everybody ignores the quality saves he did make. The defense running around waving their sticks, losing battles and putting the puck into their own net was the problem. If he pulled Hutton to 'spark' the team, do you come back with him tonight? Or stick with Ullmark, who wouldve come in cold, then traveled, to face TB b2b?Why does Housley refuse to make a goalie change when the starter is fighting the puck? It doesnt mean hes getting sent to the AHL, Hutton was struggling and that first goal was on Scandella for using his stick instead of his hand to knock the puck away from the net, not into it.
Sometimes a goalie change is the simplest thing you can do to wake a team up. Changing the goalie might give them a shot in the arm knowing they let Hutton down, or it might just show them Phil is paying attention and that's bad news for a few players on this team. The lack of in game adjustments makes it seem like Housley is on auto-pilot, the honeymoon is over, I want literally anyone else coaching this team to show them status quo is unacceptible.
I agree, mostly or d was the problem they left him out to dry, giving them 3 chances or scoring into his own net like McCabeBecause Ullmark was starting tonight?
