The next day I feel mostly the same. Dallas was lucky to get to OT and needs to adjust. Obviously I'm not a coach and I've never played, but this is what I see:
• Can Dellandrea be swapped into Marchment's spot? Maybe putting Marchment on the 4th line would send a message and give him a better overall matchup?
• We need to recognize zone exits haven't been great for the majority of the playoffs and come up with some different looks. This messes everything up for us- we cant get into their zone, eventually give up some good looks to the other team, exhausts our players who eventually just ice it and then have to stay out even long. It felt like this was the first half of the game.
• I hope Harley can get his groove back like he'd shown in the previous 2 series. It could go a long way to zone exits and offensive creativity. What are ideal D pairings now? It kills me that we keep Miro on his off side. Would a Miro/Jani pairing work at all, or do we need Miller to gtfo back to the press box?
