All that because Darnell couldn’t be bothered to move is feet. Deferred to consecutive dumbass passes up the wall to nobody instead.

Yup. He went 0/3 on outlets there lol

Would help if the forwards got into set spots like most other teams do. Quick short passes out

Top line is -1 because the C wants to sniff around for early zone exits instead of checking his man.

They follow it up on the next shift by getting turned back constantly because instead of supporting the break out they want to blow the zone to try and stretch the ice and have their 100ft two zone cross ice passes easily picked off.

In between those two shifts we got one of 29’s classic back handers to nobody.

If they don’t want to play hockey the right way it’s not really going to matter who’s in the net.

Hopkins is such a useless plug

They have to get more attention to detail. It was a high tip so I will give them a break, but McDavid could have stuck by him and just tied his stick up

Must admit was not expecting the scoring to dry up this much this year
Like I said, they shoot more from the blue lie area than the blue zone here:

The top 5 offensive teams are shooting more from the blue. They all shoot less from the pink

team hockey IQ dropped by like 50 points this offseason.

I didn't expect it either. Team just passes along the perimeter and fires off muffins or passes the puck until there no room for a play. Its like they can't see or identify grade A scoring chances themselves.

As soon as I saw Wedgewood’s stats, knew it would be an annoying night. Potential shutout of course
