Retrieving the puck and starting the breakout and transition consistently is definitely an issue. Definitely noticeable in my early review of him in the LAK game.
Two times where he goes to retrieve the puck down low but can't really make a play or do anything with it.
What did you guys see? I though the first entry was a decent one by LA and a smart same side dump by Iafallo. Pionk sure takes a long time to pivot and turn his back for the puck (will keep an eye on this). Gets Kopitar to pursue inside but just sort of Muffs it when he turns outside. The misses Zucc wide open on the breakout and tries to chip window. I thought him trying to attack Forbort was pretty funny too.
I thought the second one should have been an easy corall and box out of Pearson but he muffed it again and LA got more zone time.
Hope to get more time and add to this and add commentary to the videos instead of having to type all this out and what not.
