This D is so leaky. Not a fan of Fleury. We kind of lost our shape a bit playing "fun" hockey.

The sum of our parts as far as D goes is lesser than the individuals. They need to play more with a team/system mentality.

 

[CLW]

Evans is having a rough period.

 

[The Marquis]

Holy SHIT!

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Evans is having a rough period.

True. And so is the rest of the team .. LOL.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Nyman's parents look so nervous. Especially the mom.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I wish Burakovsky did more of that. Use his speed and try to go at the net. Even if he does not get there, he clears up the middle.

 

[CLW]

Nyman's parents look so nervous. Especially the mom.

Jani doesn't in particular, I like that haha

 

[kihei]

What a period. The return of our Jeykll and Hyde personality, all in about seven minutes.

 

[CLW]

I'm annoyed with this D from a defensive perspective. They are so "soft" and all over the place and can't control the area in front of the goalie. Larsson and Dunn have been solid but the others... woof or whatever sound a kraken makes. In their defence it looks like they've been told to go out and have fun playing offensive hockey. Why is Fleury playing btw?

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

The return of our Jeykll and Hyde personality, all in about seven minutes.

Did the team get so overconfident after they went up 2-0 that they completely decided to forget defense?

 

[kihei]

habs fans don't have anything else to do than hockey. It's sad.

Huh??? They live in Montreal and they don't have anything else to do? By Allah, I do not believe it.

 

[The Marquis]

Did the team get so overconfident after they went up 2-0 that they completely decided to forget defense?

It would be far from the first time. At least the season is already shot.

 

[kihei]

Wright has played less than Nyman, only nine shifts. Did he get injured by that cheap shot, I wonder?

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Man that Schwartz-Beniers-Kakko line was fun when it was working. They have been pretty bad offlate.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Wright has played less than Nyman, only nine shifts. Did he get injured by that cheap shot, I wonder?

I don't think so. It's just that he is on the ice mainly with Eyssimont who is within 5 seconds of Wright's TOI.

 

[kihei]

That's a close call, could go either way, but I think at point of contact it's a goal.

 

[CLW]

I think it's bar height and no goal but whatever. This D is a joke.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I think it's bar height and no goal but whatever. This D is a joke.

Yeah. At this level of D this is just going to happen again if we did get it called our way.

 

[The Marquis]

Remember when the Kraken looked good tonight? I miss that.

 

[kihei]

I don't think so. It's just that he is on the ice mainly with Eyssimont who is within 5 seconds of Wright's TOI.

Well, you don't run across brilliant coaching decisions like that every day.

 

[CLW]

I like that Bylsma gives Nyman a genuine look. I hate that it's on the behalf of another kid that needs minutes.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I am starting to get a little upset that they are not using Wright more.

 

[The Marquis]

Yeah. At this level of D this is just going to happen again if we did get it called our way.

I don’t see Francis or Bylsma fixing the issues the Kraken have on D. It worries me. Evans has regressed, Oleksiak fully needs to go. Fleury is an AHLer. I doubt any other improvements are going to be made.

The reffing in this game isn’t great. ESL?

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I like that Bylsma gives Nyman a genuine look. I hate that it's on the behalf of another kid that needs minutes.

Yeah. Not happy about how he is deploying Wright. Nothing does more for a kids confidence than rewarding him with 4th line minutes.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Yeah!! Nyman!!!!
