McCann passed the puck to ERod...no way he was off the ice...weird
Seems plausible given how long ERod hung onto the puck before making that shot.
In fact, check it out here -
At 3 seconds, when you see McCann make the pass, he's kinda just before the Wawa ad and skating backwards. At 4 seconds he's past it and clearly heading for the bench.
Rodrigues only takes the shot at 8 seconds - 4 whole seconds elapse. McCann's had more than enough time to reach the bench.
And at 9 seconds, as the puck comes back out of the net, you can see Blueger appearing in the picture. 1 second isn't really enough to make it from the bench to there, so Blueger was probably on the ice at 6 seconds in.
So there you go. The whole play, which is the work of that line, goes uncredited to it, which probably helps explain why their stats seem so bad!
And I want to see them play this well or better against PO competition...let’s see it the rest of this week against CLB, CAR, Isles...then I’ll believe again
Just needs to be a habit again. They could play like that against Tampa and I'd just shrug if it was just one game.
