Post-Game Talk: November 8 Jets @ Sens: How not to win a shootout!

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I actually thought Greening came closest to scoring 5 hole

I thought Greening came closest to putting himself in the net before the puck.

The game was lost when Michalek came on. He is terrible in the shootouts and I knew nothing good was coming after it.

If Winnipeg missed I wouldn't be surprised to have seen Neil on next, I kid u not.

People are forgetting that Winnipeg also had pathetic attempt

 

[Golden]

We're still the only Team in the League undefeated in Regulation at Home.

Yes! Hopefully we can say the same by this time tomorrow.

Not our best looking game, not one of the most entertaining games but hey, we walked out of there with a point. With the way the Atlantic division is playing so far you have to be happy that we're still gaining necessary points.

My reaction to the shootout:

Zibby/Karlsson/Turris: No Macarthur?
Michalek: Seriously no Macarthur?
Legwand: Still no Macarthur, Stone, Hoffman, or Lazar??!
Greening: GREENING?! WTF WHY?!

Once Greening was out I knew we were going to lose because Maclean was clearly asleep.

But but but it's just a skills competition and who needs the extra point anyway?

 

[Sun God Nika]

MacArthur sucks in Shootout.

Still tho, Hoffman/Stone have hands like butter

 

[RadimBicanek]

Very close game, both goalies were excellent, but lots of missed chances,odd shootout selections.

That does not excuse Maclean for putting out awful shootout players.

He honestly shouldn't have even put Turris in their. His confidence must be a little on the low side being that he has been extremely snakebitten lately.

Greening and Michalek should have stayed the hell away from the shootout.

I am not that mad about the Legwand choice being that he did pull off some kind of move.

Hoffman, Lazar and Stone should have been in the shootout.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

MacArthur sucks in Shootout.

Probably not as much as Legwand, Michalek AND Greening though.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Pavelec was outstanding in the shootout? He didn't really have to do anything.

Zibby didn't really get that good of a shot on him. Turris missed the net. Karlsson missed the net. Pavelecs save on Legwand was good. I can't remember Greenings shot being that i bleached it out of my head already.

Pavelec was big and confident that in itself makes the shooter second guess himself and shoot wide(thus Sens and Jets players shooting wide).

His saves on Michalek, Zibanejad and Legwand were perfect technique. Milo's attempt was not bad at all but disappointed to see him over the Kid line or MacArthur.

 

[TroubleInTurrisTown]

Don't think MacArthur should have shot, he is literally the worst in NHL history in shootouts, 0-13.

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Alfredsson went 0-7 once and he's one of the best Ive ever seen in the shootout. Spezza went 2-10 in same season I believe. Michalek was like 1-9.

 

[Super Cake]

At least Anderson is still first in the league for save percentage with a .951.

 

[pepty]

Probably not as much as Legwand, Michalek AND Greening though.

Milo and Legwand and Greening have scored in the shoot out though, MacArthur has never scored in the shoot out.

Haha didn't realize that.

I rescind the MacArthur recommendation but maintain that the kid line should have been out there. All at the same time.... with three pucks.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Milo and Legwand and Greening have scored in the shoot out though, MacArthur has never scored in the shoot out.

Do you not remember how Milan is terrible at shootouts? I mean sure, don't put MacA in the first round of three, but he deserves a shot at some point.

Anyway, the point isn't about MacA not shooting, it's about MM and Greening going before the likes of Stone, Hoffman and Lazar.

So you are saying he is due

******* THE OT LOSS, COWEN IS BACK!

Do you guys know what this means for our d!?!? Holy ****. We could end up with 3 number 1 D's playing on the team.

 

[DrEasy]

The coach's shoot out selections is actually consistent with the rest of his decisions. This is the same person who puts Legwand, Neil and Phillips on the PP, and who consistently gives the kid line the least ice time (today excepted: he broke up the kid line).

This shoot out was not a brain fart. It was business as usual.

 

[Benjamin]

Best game Cowen's ever played.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

******* THE OT LOSS, COWEN IS BACK!

Do you guys know what this means for our d!?!? Holy ****. We could end up with 3 number 1 D's playing on the team.

Can't disregard losing in such a pathetic way, but yes, Cowen seems to be back. I wouldn't dare call him a #1 but if he keeps this up we might have to stop looking for outside help on D.

That's interesting-according to those stats the best Senator in the shoot out is Legwand followed by Michalek then Ryan and then Mika.

To be fair, Neil scored tonight. But his shootout selection is consistently ****ing brutal.

Maybe that's what the coach is looking at instead of you know, actually watching the games and making decisions based on who's playing well.

 

[dpw]

It must have been said, but got to say it again.

Why was our top point getter not selected 1 in 6?
