The cracks are starting to show. They need some practice time badly and hopefully Tippett makes some actual adjustments.

Well at least we kept Drai's goal scoring rate going.
Duncan Keith needs to retire a year ago.
Tippett has two moves:
Split McDrai
Put them together
Those are the only "adjustments" he's capable of.

I think he needs to adapt and use different schemes. It’s clear this isn’t working.Misunderstood your post. Their gap control in own zone is often soft, they tend to chase players outside and behind the net leaving soft ice inside high scoring areas, there is little to no physical defending to punish opposing players in blue paint area. Slow to react and often forwards aren't there to support. Strangely Nurse and Bouchard are often chasing and trying to stick check forwards in high scoring areas to little success.
Thanks for the warning.Only needed four more PP goals for the win.
There's always next game.
That first shitty Kosko goal is what a lot of people are going to be talking about, and he deserves the criticism...but also the entire team looked awful for most of the first two periods.
They absolutely need to figure out a way to start better and not try and win from behind.
The going value for Duncan Keith was a negative 1st round pick and or negative 2 2nd rounders as seen by the Marleau and Ladd trades. Not only did we not pick up high draft picks for taking on this cap dump (yes that's what this is and always was) we actually GAVE ASSETS for him. Unbelievable.I thought he was supposed to be our Chris Chelios though...color me shocked
