Feels like forever since we played Buffalo. Mrazek is in for them likely. He's usually good for a few softies. I'm pretty sure I'm beginning to think why our PK is bottom feeder this year is Chairot and Petry pairing. Something needs to change.
Don't think it's that for PK. for ES it sucks.
I just don¨t get why don¨t they use Holl as PK specialist. He had great career numbers from Toronto and his Red Wings numbers from small usage aren't bad either.
Petry is the wrong guy at PK. Just totally wrong. LD should be wither Ed or Chiarot, and RD either Seider or Holl.
Petry was once a grea PP quarterback, I don't get why aren't they using him there.
1st pair
Seider - Norris role, both PK and PP
Edvinsson - PK role
2nd pair
Chiarot - PK role
Petry - PP role
3rd pair
Holl - PK role
Johansson - no special teams role
7th defenceman
Gustafsson.
It would be so easy to put them on their strengths.
To make it even better, use Chiarot-Holl together as defensive zone pair, and put Johansson-Petry to offensive one pair, to maximize their skill.
Edvinsson - Seider should be used as hybrid, both as secondary o.zone or d.zone pair, with heavy minute loads.
