Watching Highlights from yesterdays game versus flint, Brutal Defence on both teams but Flints first goal sees Bridgewater make a dumb play trying to ring it around the opposite side boards, puck gets intercepted by flint d man since doucettes not positioned on his wing, dman fires it to net maillet misses it and somehow lombardi is behind both bridgewater and young and slips it in past maillet who overplays the initial shot.
Second Flint Goal sees Hurt get absolutely walked at our Blueline flat footed then barr decides instead of letting Maillet take the shooter he will rush him leaving flint player wide open for an easy tap in, where the eff is the coaching on this play? Letang is suppose to be this amazing Defence first coach? I just dont see it. you always let the goalie take the shooter and dman takes the other player on a 2-1
Third goal was atrocious, Bridgewater has a sting player free on his left wing side but decides to go up middle, gets stripped by two flint players then hurt decides to screen maillet instead of take the shooter. Lol hilarious
4th Goal, not great either for flint. Aspinal rushes down wing crosses blueline with 3 sting players back, Bodin makes a lazy play by sticking his stick in shooters shot deflecting puck past maillet. No chance for maillet. Honestly all four goals so far are on the defence Not Maillet.
5th Flint goal sees alot of the same from sarnia, alot of reaching with sticks little to no effort making it easy on flint. Cant blame maillet on goal either really, i mean it was a rebound goal but Barr literally just let the flint guy waltz in without and physicality.
Im seeing a Common theme here from Letangs coaching and thats little to no physicality in D-zone lots of petty stick checks and guys being outworked, poor positional play as well.
Its getting hard to Defend Letang anymore, alot of this play is fixable in my eyes but for some reason its just not happening. brutal
