Yakupovs onetimer is deadly from long range, lets see him challenge the goalies glove side with it a little from long range. Like maybe after Hemmer wraps the puck around the net and goes crossice to the right point so yak can onetime it home.
This is a great game, our coaches are doing an excellent job of matching Phoenix adjustment for adjustment and they are denying the Coyotes the neutral zone and defensive takeaways they need to execute their system. We are not making the medium to long passes they want us to use and it is frustrating them.
It is surprising how few penaltys have been called, we are bound to see a few in the third, this may be decided by special teams which is exactly what we want with our PP. A perfect ending would be one or two penaltys in the third that give us the PP so we can seal the deal, we have established the checkmate on their system and have forced a special teams decision in this one. Now we just need to skate and work hard and keep it clean and close out the deal using our PP to strike the fatal blow.
