Maurice can't counter neutral zone trap hockey, every team in the league knows it. Break-outs from our own end and on the PP were trash - can't get any scoring chances if you can't even get in their zone.

Yup. Really we are going to have Eakins as the main guy to gain the zkne on the pp....

Three Flames at the blue line and the Jets just start playing dump and chase hockey.

Abysmal zone entry.

Good thing I found this new mouth wash to get the bad taste of that game out of my mouth

81 needs to take a bath in this stuff to return to his previous KFC-ness. He was playing scared out there tonight, shying away from even the slightest bit of contact

Well Wheeler says they don't know the severity of Scheifele's injury yet and didn't seem to have to think or collect his thoughts on it at all. I don't think he'd lie but it was a bit of a loaded question from Wiebe.
Kind of kills the excuse for the rest of the game after the 1st period, the effort just wasn't there which I guess you could also argue that their minds could've been elsewhere thinking about their odds without Scheifele.

I think you mean PoMo hasn't evolved as a coach in all the games he has coached in the nhl

It's how Vegas beat us in the playoffs, and I saw it several times this year when the other team had more goals than us. You would think that for such a basic and common hockey strategy, Maurice would be able to use our players' speed and talent to overcome it with a tactic that isn't dump & chase. We're sitting ducks.

Is Wheeler done also cuz he looked worse. I mean it's cute to pile on a dude who gets 4th line minutes and God forbid allowed an ENG but.. Perreault on list of problems is likely number 12 on this list
I never said I was piling on #85. I was simply responding to a post saying to send him to Seattle, and then gave my opinion that Harkins would provide way more then Perreault does. I think you need to chill the heck out man and step outside into the warm summer air for a deep breathe.

Of course Wheeler responded how he did. What else is he supposed to say?
