Post-Game Talk: Jazz

Fox with a 90% xGF this game per NST

he’s pretty good. We should pair him with our worst defenseman

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Well at least if he continues to suck he’s only a “this year” problem.

Ever noticed that whoever ends up on Zibs line looks "washed"? Maybe it's not coincidence

What about Miller?

True but Wheeler actually was washed, and who knows about Smith, he’s got some miles on him and he was terrible in Pitts

Kakko always looked lost but he looked like he ventured in the Void playing on that line.

Laffy I think played a few times on that line and it too was no bueno.

What about Miller?

77.36%. Also technically Fox was 90.85%

Miller is too stupid with the puck on his stick .Way too unreliable and has bad turnovers way too much.He also sucks defensively and gets lost in coverage far too easy.He has the hockey sense of a peanut

I would rather have Miller and Fox playing together than what it'll go back to once Lindgren gets back. I'm not sure what your metric is for 'stupid with the puck', but I saw a shitload of turnovers from the entire defensive core when it came to clearing the puck that could've been goals. Miller had a turnover that DID result in a goal trying to make a play, but I'm not hearing a peep about Trouba/schneider's goal against when Schneider got lost in no man's land and Trouba literally watched a breakaway happen in his own zone. Hell, there are Miller haters in this thread saying Trouba had a great game. I thought no one on the D core had a particularly great game because of all the damn turnovers.

Also, that was an incredible play by Kerfoot. Super impressive.

True that. Not going to take away from those hands. It is what it is.

Btw I posted this in the GDT last night and this should be nominated for post of the year

My bad. When that happened, I thought I yelled "Trouba sucks" loud enough at my TV for the whole city to hear it.

 

[Row I Goon]

This will be my only comment on the game

 

[Wtp99]

The thing about Zib isn't that he's playing particularly badly. It's that he has become almost totally unnoticeable.

He is noticeable but the not in the good way he once was.

I’m at the point where I question if Mika actually cares or did he get paid and stopped GAF

Think his priority is to not get hurt. He plays excellent defense but with the puck he’s a target so he stays extreme perimeter. He’s an elite 3C. Been saying it forever.
