^Enstrom is the only player who reacted properly on that goal.....Helle almost made a glove save too

Henricks may be fine 5v5 in the regular season against mostly other 4th lines and against on average, average teams (it is the regular season, you play all teams good and bad so on average you play against pretty much average). The Preds are the best team in the league and possess above average speed, excellent puck movement and active and skilled D. He can't keep up.
Also, what you failed to mention regarding The Athletic article on Hendricks is that he is a disaster on the PK. Which is why Maurice is using him over his other options - PK. Problem is, he does it really badly according to your guy Murat. Thanks for helping make my case that Maurice's decision to use Hendricks is a bad one.
Look, if you think that Hendricks is the best option that Maurice has right now against the Preds then let's just agree to disagree. I want us to win, so I am calling out what is pretty clear to me the weakest link. You have every right to disagree. You will be wrong, but you have every right.
Like I said before, a split is mission accomplished in Nashville. It just stings knowing that if anyone not named Hendricks was on the ice for us, we likely would have a 2-0 lead coming home.

I just feel that Morrow brings more speed, battle and upside than Enstrom right now. I like Enstrom, however, bringing him back from an ankle injury and inserting him in the lineup against a fast team like NSH shows his inabilities. I'm not blaming him for our loss, either. I just feel we're stronger with a guy like Morrow.
I haven't noticed any glaring issues with Chiarot.

I only caught half the game, due to spending most of my evening trying to fix my laptop (one of my partitions was faulty, so a complete reinstall of everything was called for).
I thought they'd lose in regulation, but tying it up when they did was awesome. Looked like they were running low on gas halfway through 1OT.
I didn't get the impression they were really outmatched. I was hoping for a win 'cause that would have given us a huge advantage. But I can settle for the split.
The next 2 at home will be important. Win those 2, and we'll be in a good place.
I'd like to see Hendricks out and maybe Dano put in (if Armia or Frenchie are still out).

Enstrom other then getting walked by Johannsen was ok during the game. I don't think he gets replaced. But you never know.
I would like to see Mathias get in for Hendricks though. I think that happens

Wait, I thought it was concluded by everyone that it was Enstrom's fault?
The funniest part is that Enstrom has the least amount of blame on this play

In what world is Morrow a better skater than Toby? Not to mention pretty much everything else to do with hockey.
My thoughts:
- Why did the Jets looks so gassed in OT when the Preds did not? Is there an issue with the team's cardio training?
- Seeing Hendrick on the ice made me angry every time. Please insert either Dano, Perreault or Armia next game.
- Laine needs to start scoring. If he's not scoring he's pretty much useless and he just kind of coasts out there and he's not the best fore-checker.
- We could have won last night, but comong out of Nashville with a split is impressive - mission accomplished.

I won't put any blame on Hendy. He did his best and it's not his fault he isn't better. It's 110% on PoMo for playing him. Can't come as a surprise that it would be a close game with risk of OT. And it can't be a surprise that Hendy doesn't have the wheels for double OT when he barely has wheels for 6 min of a regular game. Shame on PoMo for putting himself in a position where he has to overwork his top 9.
I thought the Stats line was by far the best line last night even though it didn't translate to points. Both Laine and Ehlers have had solid playoffs imo. A lot less risk in their play and they are creating a lot of chances. Just need the bounces now.
I actually think the 1st line has been the biggest disappointment thus far. Chef has been putting up points but I haven't loved his game outside of the super clutch goals. In fairness it's hard to be good when your two line mates aren't playing well. Wheels looks gassed (who would have thought with the minutes he has been fed all season
). Connor had a couple of good games against Minny but has been terribad the last couple of games. Maybe gifting him 1st line minutes regardless of play is making him too casual... I think he has been dragging that line down for two games now.
PS. Anyone who would rather play Morrow and Chiapet over Enstrom needs their head examined

One guy on Twitter, let's throw a party lol. I would say that goal wasn't entirely his fault though. The other one was entirely his fault though lol.
Still can't believe Hendricks just skated off mid play. At the very least he should have been yelling at the bench for someone to get on.

You put no blame on Hendricks skating off the ice mid play?

Let's give Nashville some credit they are a good team. You knew a mistake was going to end the game. Unfortunately there was a series of mistakes by the Jets on that play ... not just one player. This is a team sport!
Newsflash: Hockey players are human ... they make mistakes just like you and I. You guys need to relax. The series will be going 6 or 7 games ... lots of ups and downs.

Nope. Never thought he was very good or makes good decisions. Didn't expect that to change in the playoffs. I blame PoMo for playing him. I also don't think a "fresh" Hendy ever catches Fiala regardless of him staying on the ice...

In that picture... 3 Jets converging on the puck carrier, 1 Jet heading to the bench, only 4 Preds in the picture so 1 is up the ice somewhere.... odds are good that there is going to be a good scoring chance whenever you try to defend like this... too bad the Jets decided to try it out in the 2nd OT.

Fair enough. Hendricks was pretty much ahead of all of them, and they didn't even break out yet,they were still battling.
Haha ignored the obvious point he made. Tanev in the same boat as Hendricks for being labelled bad all year. Right up until the start of round one.
Hendricks hurt way more than help yesterday but it's not usually that way. I'm assuming Armia is injured but I may be wrong on that assumption?
