We'll bounce back
I am surprised that they didn't give JR a chance given his history and goal scoring

Lol Monday morning qb . That’s why goalie rotation should have been different. Martin tonight since Columbus is an injury site.
Svech has only ever done that move every attempt lol

Perets is just bad. like .750 ahl bad.
I guess you HAVE to sign tokarski at this point.

Cbus looks like a decent team this year… Johnson looks like he’s going to be a stud

I mean since when had Svech had a great shot? He has never been a guy who can pick a corner

It's my first day.
It maybe me, I think I'm cursed on shootout success, I still remember when Vegas went 0-19 in three consecutive shootouts which caused them to miss the playoffs that one time.

Jesus f*** didn’t he pick a corner 2 nights ago?
Should. He has had years to improve.
But, he barely hits anymore, so be a skill guy and improve your shot.
He does come into camp in great shape so there’s that.

Any updates on Kochetkov? That was absolutely horrifying to see.Hope he'll be OK...
We honestly won't know for awhile. They keep things very under wraps here

Does any other team deal with goalies making these plays that lead to injuries? Crazy. Why would you go for a poke check out of the crease with players coming in that fast.

The shootout doesn’t have anything to do with that. Brandon Sutter has the same career % as Evgeni Malkin. And they are both nearly 10% higher than Ovi, the best finisher of all time.

Because Walker was losing that battle and if he didn't try to do something, there was a chance Werenski could have cut in front of the net instead of being forced behind.

At 1:14? That was the two of them coordinating which one would cover the left point if the puck went that way. It’s not a man-on-man scenario, they each have a zone to cover.
Once the puck went to the right side, the zones shifted. Burns’ responsibility is to prevent puck movement from behind the net to in front. Staal’s covering the immediate passing option, Monahan. Martinook is effectively covering both points.
That’s good defensive structure. I don’t think Rod would change the Xs and Os of this.
Meanwhile, Columbus is showing that they’re going to flex Burns high-to-low between two Jackets, but the real play is to Monahan.
What makes it all work is that the pass to Monahan isn’t right to his tape, it’s a foot or two ahead of him so that he can step out and receive it without Staal tying up his stick, then use that little bit of space to turn and put it to an undefended area on the back side. It’s like a hook-and-ladder in football, if you can’t create a little bit of space with a step toward the pass then it won’t work. They executed it perfectly.
If we want to absolutely nitpick for someone to blame, strictly speaking Martinook could have dropped down to cut off that passing lane. I don’t think that’s fair to expect of him, given how fast it developed and that he was already pushing the limits of how far down he could responsibly drop. It was just a really well executed and well conceived play to break down the zones and run a pass through a seam which was a second priority to all of the defenders.

Doesn’t make any sense. That’s an extremely risky play he made. I don’t make a habit of jumping in front of cars for a reason.

Well at this point we have to just hope he dosnt have a f***ing broken neck. Hopefully its something mild. But if it's a concussion, which is likely, he will probably be gone for at least a week, and be shit when he does come back like most are.

With that aggressive playing style I'm not surprised PK is hurt every now and then. It's part of what makes him good but does it matter if you end up in the IR regularily. I hope he finds a balance between crazy and getting hurt.
There were guys to cover the point on the right side. Martinook got stuck in no man’s land. Anyway, bad loss. Team took foot off the pedal in the 3rd, aho’s 4 minutes late didn’t help.At 1:14?

At least he wasn't given a collar and being carried with strechers. But concussions are not good either.

Rabble rabble, can’t score in shootout. LACK OF FINISH!
Team is 3rd in the league in goals scored per game.
