Perfectly setup? It was on his inside foot, it was damn impressive that he even got a shot away.
not to forget the reflex toe save either

Im confused. Babcock wants Nylander to play better defensively? Isn't that exactly what we should want too? Haven't we all been pointing out how crappy we are defensively? So babcock = bad?
There was one shift by Mathews in the D zone that was epic. I was a little shocked with his great board work and physicality.
Reminds me of when Gardiner starts skating around the ice and doesn't want to let the puck go for a good 10-20 seconds. Sometimes they show Babcock's face and his smile is priceless.
Yeah I remember that too! It really stood out
Regarding Morgan Rielly.
We are slowly creeping up to the stage where "what you see is what you get" regarding his development. He hasn't taken that next step and he still makes a lot of the same mistakes that he's made previously. He still can't shoot the puck to save his life and he still can't be trusted to win matchups against top lines.
I'm really starting to think he just won't be "that guy." There's nothing that indicates he's going to have a massive curve in development.
And so it begins:
Babcock on Nylander: "The reality is, for him to play centre in NHL he's going to have to get way better defensively, way more competitive"
**** Babcock. Bozak is sleeping through most of his assignments but he's going after a rookie who is playing with two grinders and told to perform magic.
I hope Babcock doesn't have enough power to get Nylander traded. If he's traded, it will be worse than Kessel trade #1.

sounds alot like Kaberle.
Kadri and Carrick who are both relatively young players made bad defensive plays behind the net for the first goal, Carrick and Gardiner are both caught at the blueline for the second goal and Rielly doesn't win the board battle and Zaitsev is caught chasing which leaves Staal open in front for the 3rd goal.
Young players, experiencing and learning. These are the growth pains they go through.
Babcock isn't the one turning the puck over or not covering the man.

We are falling and falling fast.
Few points out of dead last
I'm ok with another lotto pick but losing is getting old real fast here
what else do you expect with a rebuild?
