Honestly I was saying this as a joke at first but Suzuki really looks fat and slow.
He wasn't slow in camp. I don't know what's going on. He likes to slow the game down but he has to have space first and he never has it for all sorts of reasons.

TBH I'd flip Matheson before he kills his value
He's living up to that left handed (bad) Petry handle.

Suzuki and Caufield are getting countered. All teams are covering those 2 because they know things won't happen if they are not in the play. They almost put 4 players on both Suzuki and Caufield and it shows.

Meanwhile dumdumBurrows doesn't see anything wrong

On the next pp we get, use your phone to record the seconds we waste with the drop pass and I guarantee you it will be close to 30 seconds. It accomplishes nothing, the other team just crowds the blueline while our forwards stand still to limit the risk of being offside, it's stupid and we should stop it.
Again…did you watch the Devils PP right after I wrote that?

They not only did a drop pass, they did a double drop pass.

EVERY team does the drop pass…some are just better then others at executing it.

They also have multiple players who can skate like the wind while handling the puck. We have exactly none.

Hence the EXECUTION is the issue…not necessarily the tactic of dropping it back

As I'm writing this, the Devils JUST did another drop pass

Successfully

It’s a treat always watching elite players from different teams. The sad part is that we never get those guys
