I still find it odd at how much Bednar was playing Mikko in overtime. I wonder what was the deal with that? Was just so MacK and JD got OT time together? And if so why not start those two in OT?
Because he wanted to get big daddy Nuke out there. Who can blame him *heart eyes*I still find it odd at how much Bednar was playing Mikko in overtime. I wonder what was the deal with that? Was just so MacK and JD got OT time together? And if so why not start those two in OT?
I mean they were certainly causing chaos last night.Hilarious Rycroft last night keeps hammering home the point of "4th line causing CHAOS!" as they're hemmed in our zone for a full minute.
It's not hard.Bednar needs to dress a real 4th line to allow him them to play at least like 7-8 minutes to lower the minutes of the top guys.
MacD and Polin can't play in the NHL. Need Lehky back fast so Kivi can go back down and then try Tufte again but in a 4th line role.
Or when he said Johansen would be coming out to take the faceoff after we iced the puck with him on the bench.Hilarious Rycroft last night keeps hammering home the point of "4th line causing CHAOS!" as they're hemmed in our zone for a full minute.
Even he knew that second goal was unacceptable. He’s getting as bad as Grubauer defending wraparounds.Got to disagree on RyJo and few others. Don't think think I need to go through them by name as they are the standard don't do a whole ton bunch.
I honestly saw RyJo touch the puck like 5 mins into the 2nd period and said wow didn't even realize he was playing. If I didn't notice you're playing until the 2nd period you are probably not doing much.
Also agree on George made some nice saves at the right times, but also allowed 2 ugly goals and was sub .900 again. I don't why it's been such a struggle for him to not give up the soft goal this year. From time to time they happen but they shouldn't be going in nightly.
Incredible player. They'd be screwed without him.

It was honestly insane to watch. A full 2 minute clip of just elite defensive plays, and then you realize it was from a single game.
He doesn't necessarily play physical very often but when you're that smart and that good with your stick, you don't need to play physical.

If they are playing these minutes multiple games against bottom feeders it's a problem. When you are playing a top team in a good atmosphere that goes 65 minutes everyone wants to be on the ice so you let the stars go heavy minutes. Can't do it every game for sure but kind of irrational to say it can never happen.There's no way that they are gonna have enough energy left for the playoffs.

I hated the wrap around to the 4th liner, but I also hated the first Marchand PP goal. We are talking an 82-85 mph wrister from 40 ft, a half assed screen in front that blows by him? Fight through screen a little bit and make the f***ing save, even Marchand looked surprised he scored. I think he was thinking maybe a rebound chance in front not a goal.Even he knew that second goal was unacceptable. He’s getting as bad as Grubauer defending wraparounds.
