i do not think this is on Scott Stevens at all.....however after a while, one can't help but point the finger to him. The problems are in Volchenkov and Zidlicky not paying attention to their positioning. Defense is built on a lot of routine patterns and positions. If you see your defensive partner in the corner, you go to the front of the net and the center goes to the corner. Lot of air head decisions last night, Volchenkov is a problem and we will suffer until he is removed. Scotty can't play the game for them. I feel bad for him, you can see he's cringing. I hope he rips them all new holes
I am overly angered that DeBoer had not called a time out after their second goal. In fact it worries me. He did the same **** last year and it's clearly continuing into this year, I don't see how it could take this long to figure it out. A time out could have stopped their momentum.
I do fear will be fired if he keeps doing that, and i dont want that because i think his system is good. We just need to stop blowing leads, stop playing volchenkov, and call time outs when they need to be called.
