Seems a bit early for the turtle, but they've been awful since the goal.

I'm guessing the zone time shot statistics are heavily in factor Skjei-Shattenkirk that period. McDonagh-Holden was dragged down by Holden. I thought McDonagh played a very spectacular first period. Smith had a few bad moments but okay overall.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Rangers were pushed around from the drop of the puck, that's not a turtle.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

It’s amazing. Drink everytime he can’t complete a pass. You’ll be in the hospital by 2nd period

Or dead.

 

[Machinehead]

How many days until Spring Training so I can watch the only pro sports team in New York?

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Holden gives the puck away again. McDonagh has to drag these terrible players through the prime of his career. It's so unfair.

Meh.

Henriks been doing it since 2005.

 

[will1066]

Completely pwned that period. Can't pass the puck out of our zone anymore. Everyone has figured us out.

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

At this point you gotta think the reason as to why Nash is getting all these grade A scoring chances is because the opponents know that he can't score to save his life anymore.

Might as well focus on the rest of the FWD's.

The Kings aren't even that great at corsi this year. We're just f***ing terrified of this team. AV is a p***y.

I still have a terrible feeling they could make another Cup run.

We suck against any team that has a heavy forecheck, just seal the walls, take shots, win puck battles, get puck back to d, fire away, repeat.

Meh their analytics are pretty bad.

They're not like the Rangers obviously, but they're pretty bad.

Proofread your sentence a little bit. Hope you don't mind.

That's why I said "still" lol.

 

[Machinehead]

That's why I said "still" lol.

I mean they're not far off.

The power creep in the NHL is clearly headed towards teams that are like 7th to 13th in corsi, xGF% etc.

The teams at the very top don't score consistently.

So good teams?

 

[DanielBrassard]

Nice pass Miller.

I think logically this makes sense but it assumes you have smart coaching which is probably not a good assumption. Theoretically if a coach recognizes his team doesn’t have top level skill he should try and mitigate that by having his players throw pucks at the net as often as possible to try and create deflections and bounces in front.

 

[DanielBrassard]

So good teams?

I guess.

 

[Tob]

You tried, Marc.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

I've said it before and I'll say it again but if Nash could finish, he'd be elite

I agree, and I will file this under no shit.

As they say, it's never a bad play, but you're also relying on luck to significant extent to get those deflections and bounces and that can come and go as it pleases.

That's how a team like the Kings is boring and mediocre for five years and they win the Cup out of nowhere twice.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Of course

 

[nevesis]

Of course Gaborik.

 

[Holocene]

Weakkkkkk
