Lambert is very good at getting zone entries but not very good when he has to actually do something in the offensive zone. Low hockey IQ plays in the offensive zone.
There was a play on the powerplay where Lambert had the puck just inside of the top of the right circle, where his teammate was at the goaline alongside the post, and he tried to do a soft saucer pass to the player down low outside the crease. It got broken up and cleared away, but maybe someone smarter than I can tell me how that play, even if it got through, makes any sense?
His transitions in the game were beautiful. Nobody could stop him in the neutral zone, and he loves to chip the puck one way, and go around the D the other, cool to watch.
Really hope he’s not Roslovic 2.0..
