Wow I fell asleep for almost the entire half of that first period. Just woke up. :laugh:
 
The PK cheats over to Panarin's side. if you don't have anyone on the other side who is a threat to shoot, the PP is very easy to defend against. Problem is every time pucks goes back to the other side, Strome, Zibby, Fox aren't in a shooting position because they're not on their off-handed side. So, they strictly look to pass back to Panarin. It's slow, predictable. They need someone left handed on that other side who can play faster and look to shoot. otherwise, the PP is going to be bad more than it's good

Miller saw time on the right wall at Wisco.
 
Apparently Mike Babcock has a new job lol. One potential Quinn replacement scratched off the list.

I've been noticing this for weeks now. What do paid professionals see?

lol who would you RATHER have him pass the puck to?
fox has a very good and accurate wrist shot which is where a lot of his value offensively comes from, he really needs to use it especially cause PKers constantly cheat towards Panarin cause they know Strome can’t shoot

Miller has made at least one play a game against every good player so far. He is the silver that's lining this teams colon.

He has looked bad for what? 2 periods maybe 3 all season? I know this sounds like maybe too much praise too soon, but he kinda looks like Chara in his prime how he boxes guys along the boards and uses his reach.

With the amount of skill we're playing with, might just switch out the sticks for shovels or brooms.
 
Zibanejad was on pace for well over 50 goals and Panarin for what 120 pts last season while constantly being trashed for overpassing.

DQ will say “look, when we just put pucks on the net good things will happen” and he has adjusted the PP to take away the cross ice pass with a RHS on the right side.

How sure are you guys that Ziba and Panarin’s overpassing is the big problem for this team? I don’t buy it for a second. Of course there will be bad decisions made, but that dynamic at style is what opens up a defense, makes us unpredictable and so forth.

But somehow Panarin still gets it done quite often which is why he's amazing.
 
Capitals broadcast talking about how good Shesterkin is. His save percentage was greater than 930 in 4 of his last 5 games. If only it was higher we might have won.

I'm watching their broadcast also and they are very knowledgeable on the Rangers, more so then national broadcasts in most cases, nice job by them.
