I'm not sure if this was also directed at me but the only thing I blame George for is the Marner goal. It was just a wrist dhot from the blue line with no screen Knies was there all alone but he was not screening him. He was just trying to tip the puck. That should have been an easy save. IMO two very bad penalties (Colton and especially Mikko) were mostly to blame for this lost but that very soft goal from George didn't help either as it tied the game. However as I said before the Avs responded extremely well with a great 3rd period.
It was not directed at you or anyone in particular.
Even on the marner goal, Mikko does a frikkin' swan-dive (but at least he takes a guy out) - the rest of the guys are standing around -> then makar starts chasing the puck-carrier near the blue line and Miles Wood does his best Nate Guenin pointing impression because he doesn't seem to know who his guy is.
Maybe there's something to be said for 'hey, why the f*** do we have THREE WINGERS on the ice?' but either way you slice it, that's just poor team play. If everyone was where they needed to be and George lets in a soft goal, ok fine then I'll call him on it for sure. Georgiev isn't the reason we've had a shitty record lately... he hasn't helped but it's not like the team is awesome and he's terrible. The entire team hasn't been on point and paying attention to detail.
There's a lot of weird stuff going on with the team this year and a lot of it is on coaching. I mean, what the hell is the deal with the weird man-on-man defensive system that they seem to adopt every now and then that seems to lead to confusion AND then that leaves the lane towards the net wide-open especially if there's even the slightest pick play that isn't called by the officials???
What about having Drouin in the bumper position on the PP? I like Drouin and I think he's done really well this season but if you're going to use him as the bumper on the PP - shouldn't he be at least the slightest bit of a threat to shoot ??? I've seen him be in PRIMO position to just let it rip but I know he's not a shooter and is going to overpass and so does the rest of the league.
