I don't get the outcry after this game. They outplayed everyone on the Rangers but their goalie. After how theyvhave played this season, this is a positive.
Once again however coaching caused issues. No way petry should have been put back into the lineup. Once again the chirot petry pair were terrible. Chariot and holl were actually decent last night and AJ had a good game too. So of course lalonde goes and makes that switch for no reason. Then we get scored on to go down 2-0 and who does lalonde put on the ice? Chiarot and petry and... spoiler alert... Rangers immediately scored a 3rd goal. Lalonde makes stupid decision after stupid decision.
On top of that after 2 periods of play edvinsson had 14 min and 35 seconds. After the 3rd period he had just over 20 minutes which means he got played barely over 5 minutes in the 3rd period. He was our best dman tonight along with seider, we are down 3 goals and gets played that little.
Which brings me to my last issue with coaching. Down by 3 and it was the rangers pressing in the 3rd- not the wings. Lalonde just continued to roll each line as if we had the lead. Super frustrating to watch and I hope we continue to lose and lose until lalonde gets fired because a fresh voice is 100% needed.
