Huh, so Connor Murphy is almost as much of a stud defensively as Karlsson is offensively based on that table. Seems plausible.
Yeah he's really good on a decent contract until 2022-2023, out for a month or so from injury. Osterle was an ok defenceman as well.
You’re proving my point and it shows that you probably don’t actually play hockey. Once you have position on someone and they are three feet behind you, that’s all the space you need. Three feet might as well be thirty feet. The only thing that Sen player can do is hook or slash the Hawk player’s pants. Lol
Boro could have played that so much better than he did. He left Toews too much room whether Anderson should have had the shot or not.
Yeah Claesson stands out a bit on the chart, however how many times was he playing against the top 2 lines vs other teams 3rd and 4ths.
I dunno. He has a split second to make a decision and from his viewpoint it’s a 3 on 1. It’s bizarre that I’m defending Boro because I’d be doing cartwheels if the team replaced him. But I personally don’t feel he was the problem on that play. Ceci and White created that mess and Andy has to be better. But also, it’s Toews and he’s an elite player.
He had a split second initially ; where it looks like he was behind the eight ball early, then he had more than a second or two...to close the gap; he would have had to turn but only to close.
I think the forwards did a great job backchecking to take away the odd man rush, and gave Boro lots of time to get over to toews, he just didn't seem to notice. It looked worse than it was, but I thing he has to recognize the forwards getting into the play and be more aggressive on Toews even all it does is rush the shot a bit more.
Didn't mean to pile on, sry. I like Boro back with Wideman tonight, aside from getting walked on the pk he wasn't too bad
