Orielly still seems a little off center, he wasn't as precise tonight as we expect. Binn almost got that OT goal but it went off the heel of his glove. Both teams played well but the pace was sort of choppy just by how defensively sound we both are.

End result regardless, would you have preferred Nashville doing that to us over the same time frame?
I don’t have a problem with resets, but only when they need to happen. We did them three times when it hurt our cause instead of keeping the attack moving.

Call me a simpleton, but having the puck in 3 on 3 is better than not.

I am deeply unhappy when the opposing team does that with the puck in the same situation. I am less unhappy when my own team does.

Perron not doing much last stretch of games. Our offense would look much better if he were to show up. And I know he has some points, but just seems like he is making no impact on game.

Not his best game tonight.
Which is most games for him. Scandella will occasionally have a good game but most of the time he’s below average, or average at best.

He’d be fine on the 3rd pairing but that’s not an option because he makes way too much money for a 3rd pairing guy.

This has to be his last season here. We unfortunately gave him an extension way too quickly and his play has sucked ever since. Any trade involving a D upgrade has to have Scandella going the other way, or have him be included in a separate deal to dump his contract. He’s not the answer.

He would look much better in lesser role. With Krug out that isn’t option.

I’m watching on delay, so my comments are a bit late, but Rosen has been really good tonight. He and Faulk were by far our best pair tonight. I may have been too quick to condemn him.

Right, but there were three times when we did a reset that we didn’t have to do it. On two of them we had no pressure from Nashville on our pick carrier and we did a reset as one player was making a change. It both wasted time and allowed Nashville to make a swop. The other time we had a guy getting pressured but he has plenty of time to make a pass and he had his other two teammates providing good puck support. The play could have easily continued.

I like our chances in OT a lot more when the opposition is gassed and stuck in their own zone defending.

Nah, Scandella is fine. Him and Parayko didn't bring their A game last night, but that happens to every player around the league sometimes. The problem is that our top 4 is being asked to do too much because the rest of the guys are unreliable. Scandella is just the scapegoat because I guess all fan bases need some of those. The fact that Rosen played over 20 mins last night shows what bad shape our D corps is in right now. I'm just about done with the Walman experiment, he doesn't bring much to the table.
