Fact of the matter is, if Oshie doesn't step his game up when he gets back, the RW depth is a clear weakness.

Lindstrom, while having a decent knack for the game, just doesn't have the speed and strength to play the same game he did in Sweden.

Reaves is Reaves...And he hasn't been the same in awhile either.

I'm not worried about Oshie all that much. I'm all but positive he was nursing something before he went out with the concussion.

Im disappointed so far this season. I know its early and all that but I dont see much difference from last year in terms of play. Loved the game against LA though.

 

[BlueDream]

Yes he has.

No he hasn't.

Yeah its not like we have won 7 in a row or anything.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

No he hasn't.

Game 1 of the series against Chicago last year. Shattenkirk got the press because of the points, but Petro was utterly dominant. He was the best defenseman for either team.

 

[RR10*]

Who didn't see that coming?

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Saw that coming from a mile away. Ells should have had that one.

 

[KirkOut]

Nooo one of my least favorite players scored

100% deserved result. They have outplayed us.

 

[Celtic Note]

Yep that happened

 

[Ranksu]

We deserve it. WAKE UP!!!

 

[sbet1998]

Then you haven't watched him enough. He's had many games that he's completely dominated. It's just hard to notice because he's not flashy.

Just like my ignorance with Rattie, its all about the stat sheets. Those two put up points in the playoffs thanks a lot to their respective teams forwards.

And there it is.

 

[TheDizee]

that should have been stopped. with that said, once again we dont deserve any points tonight

I'm glad he showed up for a game. Unfortunately for him he wasn't the best d-man in the series. Keith was better.

There's that faux defense I always talk about. Sure, let's just play positionally and never actually close the gap. That'll work. A shooter would never time you to use you as a screen...

 

[Overkamp]

How does Elliott let that in? Awful.

This is how i score 90% of my goals in NHL14

Hard to argue. Oh well.

Well with Petro it really is hard to see unless you're watching closely. He doesn't have the flair of Keith or the physicality of Doughty. When he's on top of his game, the puck is barely on his stick because he's so efficient at driving the play forward.

 

[Oberyn]

We deserve to lose, pretty pathetic effort tonight.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

That's highly debatable. Keith got torched on the reg that series. We'll just have to agree to disagree then.

 

[Meatball]

Bleeder and Verson in 3....2....1

 

[542365]

With only 5 minutes left, the Preds won't let Tarasenko touch the puck(which he really hasn't all night). Someone else needs to step up.

Keith was a mile better. And I seriously doubt Pie was dominant in any game of that series. If so, I would have remembered it. I've never seen him take over a game. He's pretty quiet for a $7m guy.

It works in real life too. Slow up to time yourself with the defender, stickhandle pretending you're waiting to sauce it to your teammate, and fire it right around their pants. It's too easy.

If you're not pressuring the puck carrier, you're not playing defense.
