That's something that the coach needs to nip in the bud.
Trotz would be on that immediately.
Chara's career is pretty much over.
I do think he could use a break from time to time but I still think he shows he is effective in particular situations.Chara's career is pretty much over.
Watching this game makes you realize it’s not really a systemic issue, not too much correctable. Islanders have a lot of good, shifty puck handlers and we just can’t keep up.
Thanks fir the explanation. It doesn’t look fluid or efficient at this point.The point is to draw the first forechecker and beat the defense with speed in the neutral zone. Usually Kuznetsov or Vrana will be the ones attacking the neutral zone with speed and catching Ds flat footed.
They call that the slingshot zone entry. It used to work all the time a few years ago (it's a relatively new technique). Now it doesn't work that well anymore, the drop pass often gets picked off and can lead to a breakaway in the other direction. The PK also stacks their players on the blue line and force the PP to go offside (no one wants to dump it in on the PP).
Would love to see Siegs get a chance.Dillon is so so bad

For real. Much better outing tonight so far.8-4 last game. 0-0 37 mins through this game. Funny sport.
What a shit show of a game. Its a miracle that we are tied still.
That's an even bigger disaster waiting to happen.
What's an even bigger disaster is not having more than 6 dman ready for the playoffs... if one guys goes down we'll have an extremely rusty player playing.
They’re in first place... in the toughest division in the nhl... and you think they are stinking up the place.Dillon again with the turnover on a stupid pass.
I have tried to defend this team as much as anybody here but they are really starting to stink up the place.
Lavi needs to do his f***ing job. It is painfully obvious that Dillon needs to sit.
And Chara is an old man as far as pro sports goes so he needs to be rested accordingly. I cannot believe Lavi wants to play just 6 D's for the entire season, especially when the mistakes are obvious to a complete amateur.
I can't wait to get into the playoffs with an over-tired Chara, an incompetent Dillon, and then bring in Seigs or TVR and have them try to play in the "system" when it matters the most.
Total headscratcher....
