Good to see Petersen playing well.
A tournament like this can respark his confidence and career. He is making a lot of money to be sitting in the minors..hope he bounces back next year he is a good dude.Good to see Petersen playing well.
Some of these games aren't pretty but neither is this roster lol.
They are winning games which is all that matters. I want to see them start to look more cohesive by Saturday especially with the 2 new adds.
Major concern is the power play. It can't remain looking like that. Something has to change, flip the units around, change personnel ...whatever. It needs to generate chances. We are winning games without any help from our power play.
These are the depths we have sunk to.O'Connor has disappeared since the first game.
It definately seem like they need to mix the lines and PP up. I feel like there is the elements for a good PP here although it might mean someone like Hutson gets more responsibility than the U.S. brass wants.You can't be anything but happy as they're 4-0 and control their own destiny for the #1 seed in their group. But their play has been trending in the wrong direction since the start of the tournament; they really need to find their legs and chemistry again. These last 2 performances have been ugly.
Hopefully with the consecutive days off they can get in some rest and practice time, reset, and find their legs and tenacity again. Yes, the PP is ugly and needs work, but I'm more worried about the shift in their 5-on-5 effort and play.
Also, scratch Bjork and run with 8 defensemen. Attard deserves to be in the lineup.
This feels like an incomplete thought.Absolutely not panarin. He just sucks ass at puckhandling skills
