Show Me What You Got!
Who else were we going to lean on last year? Moore? Schlemko? That pairing was going to draw the tough minutes no matter what. And they were damn good at what they did, so why are we complaining about it now?
It was beyond that. He might as of well played one pairing. It is lucky they didn't break down. Again Pete/Hydra did not do this and the defense wasn't any worse for it.
I have yet to get one solid argument that Hynes makes this team better. A vague vision isn't one. Never mind this team doesn't even know who is supposed to support who, who is supposed to attack when. The rush might as well be a free for all.
The idea of the D getting more involved in the offense is nice but they shouldn't be leading the rush when the forwards don't know how or when to fall back in support.
There are systemic mistakes all over the ice and they make the same mistakes every single night from game 1. They just didn't get bit in the ass as much in the first 15 and Cory was on his game. Puck luck dries up along with Cory slumping and all the warts get exposed
Bone headed plays is execution. The same mistakes from a game plan perspective, every night, is a failure of the coach to either properly teach the system or make adjustments to cater to the players weakness.
Never mind his questionable line up choices, and how he has a tendency to throw lines into a blender (expect when the team loses 6 straight. Then he sticks with the same lines for some reason).
You could Weber and Subban on this team tomorrow and they would make the same stupid mistakes and still struggle.
All the talent in the world means crap when you don't know where your teammates are going to be, or you don't trust them to be where they need to be.
I bet anything this is why Cory is struggling. He expects his D to do certain things. They aren't and he knows it so he is trying to over compensate to make up for it. It doesn't take that much to throw a goalie completely off his game.
Once his game is off routine saves stop being routine as he tries to hard.
I don't even know how Marty would be with such a **** system because I imagiine he would of thrown a **** fit first. Henry would of thrown the entire team under every bus in NYC and parked them there.
What goalie wants to play in front of guys who regularly screen you?
