When a D goes behind the net and waves at the puck, without any apparent awareness of the opponent, it's on him. Not on the 4th line. Not on the coach.

I'd argue Mckegg was just as unaware on that play. Regardless of what he thinks Trouba might do he can't leave a 2 on 0 in front of his goalie.

I'll also argue that no coach should put a line that bad, out on the ice with a minute and a half left. You shorten the bench and play your best players.

Yeah Trouba f'd up but he wasn't the only error there.

He's been playing competitive hockey for a long time and he doesn't know that he's supposed to attempt a shot once in a while?

He did shoot a fair amount last season. Something is not right. Either in his head, the coaches advice, or he is maybe hurt?

I just mentioned gym rats died from the flu last year in only 3 days . Did you not understand my post? Point is, you can eat well, keep in good shape and still be insufficient in nutrients that ward off bugs and keep you healthy. The doctors can check for this but don't, unless you ask.

Yeah I'm not so sure about that. If I never get the flu then pro athletes are doing something wrong if they get it all the time. I'm doing a lot of hiking, running and other sports but I never saw a gym from the inside:laugh:

I wonder if Zib is dealing with an injury? Other than the Colorado game he has been struggling the past few weeks. Losing a lot of face offs and fumbling a lot of picks
 
Spotted them a goal, so now let's go out there and destroy them in the second.

Your go back to the day like I do.

What Kakko needs is Bill Chadwick screaming at him like he did to Barry Beck and screaming "Shoot the puck Kakko"...."Shoot the puck Kakko.".

It would typically work for a few games with Beck and than he's be back to his no shoot self again...lol
 
All I can say is another last minute goal.

What is it with this team ?

Doesn’t matter whom is out there most of the time.

There is not one good reason that he is on the roster when he could be gaining confidence in the AHL instead of wasting a roster space. Tons of good players have gone to the minors and come back much better.

I don't disagree one bit, though it should've happened sooner. I wonder if sending him down now sends the wrong message.
 
Never understood why goalies get praised for being brave for standing in the way of pucks. They basically have all the equipment they need to not get hurt. The players that block the shots however...different story.
