This is something the big Devils need to work on for next season as well.
I thought it was interesting looking at the lines that the Comets are using both Zetterlund and Greer on their offhand wing. Is that typical?
Faceoff advantage is all Amerks. Starts their offense.
The Comets continue to work in the Amerks zone every shift. Now they get one of their typical goals. An amerk works to the bottom of the circle. Ther Comets converge stick poking and the puck shakes loose to the opposite side after a shot and a wide open Amerk on the opposite side and shoots it into the open net.
Akira has been left out to dry.

Flynn to the box and the #3 AHL regular season PP goes to work. Crazy to watch a team pass the puck quickly to moving mates and set up shot after shot for themselves vs the Comets who take half of the PP to get into the zone and then work to get a 1-timer.
Amerks are allowed to use their point men who skate all over the place to eventually find a lane to move down and create outnumbered situations. They are dangerous every second they are in the zone. The Comets are so slow and too stationary to create any extended pressure.
Comets require a single polayer to make something happen while the Amerks use all 5 in rapid interaction.
The philosophies are so different. Is this the Devils PP setup as well? If so, I can see why there was so much anger directed at Recchi.

That sounds a lot like the Devils PP. Very little movement and always looking for the perfectly telegraphed cross-ice pass that fails or gets intercepted. Backup plan is an unthreatening shot from the point.
Greer is a LW and has been such all season. Zetterlund is a RW, but has played both sides.
You may see them on the opposite sides as they will switch up when the situation finds them on their offside and one of them picks up the puck and the other simply crosses behind him to the opposite side. I mean that's normal hockey. On PPs Holtz sets up for the designed 1 timer on his opposite side. Z has taken it from both sides.
You got it. It's the playbook!
Comets score into a net that comes off the post. Dell is crashed. They say no goal and don't even review it. Dineen livid.
Any Comet touching the puck in their own end is immediately pressed by an Amerk. Amerks go to man to man coverage in the O zone the moment a Comet gains possession

Shaya says the goal was disallowed because the puck entered the net after the goal was dislodged.
The Amerks come up the ice with speed en masse and spread out. The Comets always seem to be one man carrying the puck and no body available to pass it to and usually he is trailing the puckcarrier. The Amerks have no trouble breaking up the rush. The puck is either stripped or the Comet dumps it and the Amerks gain possession. The fact that it happens over and over says it's the way they have been taught to start their offense. It's no wonder their shot totals in so many games are so low.

There were 5 passes by the Comets in like 5 seconds in the Comets end requiring Schmid to come up big. The Comets are desperate to complete 2 passes!
Comets failure to clear the zone ahs been haunting them the whole series. They play like they have the weakest wrists and arms in the league. They don't fire the puck the puck, they push it or one hand it, or flip it and it's easy to stop and becomes a turnover.
You have to wonder if they have ever been sat down in front of a video and have these feeble puck movement attempts pointed out.

Zetterlund!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally. Another kid with a goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He scores on the Comets PP from the left side 1-timer spot. That's what they work for oon every PP. This time it worked.
2-2

The Comets fly by defensive efforts at a stationary puck possessor just allows him towait and then walk right down towards the net.
TAKE THE MAN !!!!!!!!!!!! You don't have to hit him just get into his body. It breaks up the play!
Z in 1 on 2 driving to the net! Shot deflects wide. He stops in the crease and another Comet is never visible. Where is a linemate????????????

Absolutely. I think he's more or less proved himself NHL-ready this season, the question is whether his upside is a legit scoring winger (nothing crazy, but like 15-20 goals and 20+ assists) or more of a bottom-6 winger with skill.

Deleo continues to create single offensive efforts. This is supposed to be a team game.
The singular work is coming from Deleo, Greer, Zetterlund, and Schmelzer with no support.
Has Dineeen required the boys to hang back because the Amerks have transitioned so rapidly in the previous 2 games? If so scoring against them 1 on 2, 3 or more won't create high odds to score.

Tie game doesn't last long as the Amerks press with numbers and crowd the crease. Biro throws it to the net and it's tipped in by an Amerk literally in the crease.
3-2 Amerks.
3-2 Amerks.

I can't say it enough. The Amerks move with so much speed and the Comets struggle to keep up and offensively the Comets have their efforts overcome by Amerks aggressivness and speed. They just attack the puck carrier.
