conversely their bottom d pairing is lol bad so 71-55 -90 should cook on them all series
Im mid 50's now and I have realized I'll never be able to retire unless I win lotto. Daughter starts college this year at Dalhousie taking medicine. Man, this is gonna cost me. Hopefully I get a doctor in 8 years
the oilers have to play smart until they get up by a couple goals. then LA will be forced to open up their 131 and we can murder them with transition hockey. just dont try and force that into their trap cause thats exactly what a 131 is designed for. If im knob im using the passing ability of nurse/bouchard/ekholm and even kulak to hit the far side winger stretching the ice. its an easy system to exploit if you have the legs. 71-55 will torch it
LA played the 1-3-1 when they were down by 4 goals last year.
Defense and structure are a coaching issue, flat out. Tippet was bad at it, Woodcroft was better but still leaky, Knob seems to be better than Woodcroft at it. It's why Winnipeg can go from a mediocre defensive team under Maurice, to the best defensive team under Bowness. It's why Deboer makes the finals seemingly with every new team he coaches, regardless of their defensive players. It's why Boston can lose Chara, Bergeron and Kreijci and not miss a step.
My retirement plan is Latin America. You can live like a king with a 2k pension. My dad sold his place here and moved to Portugal after he retired. Best decision he's made in a long time. Food is cleaner and you're more active and outside more so his health has drastically improved compared to what it was like here plus his pension goes much farther.
Yeah he's got a bit to his game, but just play defense they way this team does and they can limit opportunities. He's good, but he's not McDrai good creating his own offense out of nothing.
Their 3rd periods this year have been on another level
Anywhere along the Mediterranean is absolutely elite
That's rough and I feel you. Good luck to your daughter, I hope she finds success and a fulfilling career.
