Why would he shoot on that play?
Trouba made a really good block, Patch had a free goal if it wasn't for that, please give up the mindless hatred towards Desharnais.

Are you ****ing kidding me? Pacioretty, in the slot, with no one on him? I want him taking that shot 100 times out of 100.
Agree with most of this. Also worth considering is that speed for example is variable, a given player can skate slower or he can skate faster. Whereas size is fixed, a player can't get increase his mass.
And Gio/DD aren't a particularly fast, agile skaters -- IMO Gallagher has much more "small guy hustle" than either of them, maybe because he's young and fearless
Desharnais is relatively slow, especially for a guy his size, but he still turns the corner faster than the average NHLer, and as a result he is good at avoiding the bigger, lumbering defenseman.
The problem with him of course is that he can be outmuscled by average size/strength players who can outskate him.

Sweet shot by Thomas! On net, far side, created a rebound. Too bad it rebounded right out of the zone.

There was one guy covering Gallagher and a second guy moving for Patches. There was nobody on DD and the goalie even anticipated him passing to Patches and moved early.

I think he's still great but being overplayed by Therrien too many minutes the younger D needs more toi

So why not call the Stuart grabbing of Gallagher. Markov gets called for BS but every time Gallagher is rushing someone grabs him.

Gionta's shooting sucks, but he's made some really nice passing plays this year. It's weird. It's like he knows he can't shoot anymore so now he looks for teammates to pass to and he usually connects.
His minutes do need to be cut back. He is already worn down. Olympics won't help.

The one thing this team could use to put them over the top would be to improve their passing. My god the inaccurate dumps these guys take half the time...
I took an inaccurate dump and my wife held me accountable, why aren't they held accountable?
