I thought Holtby had trouble with the short side due to his aggressive play. Moore "scored" short side, Holtby left the short side open on a shot by Richards midway or late in the 2nd, but Richards missed. I think you can exploit this. When on the rush, the defender on the side of the rush pinches in, while the forward on the other side drops back, creating an odd man situation on one side of the goal, while not letting our guard down defensively. Basically the same play as on the "goal" by Moore. Should be helpful.
Also need traffic in front, I think shots from behind the net could pay off as well. Send our more mobile players out against Erskine, Hillen and Oleksy - I don't think it's much of a mystery Hagelin looked great yesterday. Alzner and Carlson were occupied with the Nash line, while Hags was having a field day speed-wise. Get Zucc and Cally and possibly Kreider some of those matchups too. Molest Green, hit him hard on the forecheck.
Defensively, stop giving up odd man rushes. You kinda expect Hank to stop Johansson, but ultimately, the play was McDonagh's fault. Give Moore some more minutes to get some weight of McD's and Girardi's shoulders. Hope for Staal to get healthy, we could really use his strength, I recognized our lack thereof, especially when their bottom lines hemmed us in our own zone repeatedly.
Not having an overly physical group of defensemen makes quick decision-making necessary, and I'm not excited about DZ or Eminger having to do that. Try Pyatt on the ice for those occasions, I think his size can be of use in that department. Aggressiveness on the PK was just right. Stop collapsing on the 5 v 5, Green and Carlson have good, heavy shots and way too much time to let them go (that point is a pipe dream of mine though, I know).
Goaltending wise, hope for Hank to go back to being Hank, otherwise we're screwed anyways. I hope he's pissed, because he uses to come out sharp the next game if that's the case.
