what it is to have the luxury of having a 4th line, minimum salary guy, play in top six and not look out of place. Yeah that.

Simplify your game, stop trying to be the Globetrotters with these passes, get the puck on net and make the area around Jake hell

Dallas committed literally 24 minutes of stick penalties in the lead up to that 2 on 1. Jesus christ. I know they can't win every game, but Dallas shouldn't be in it at all because they ought to be on the PK for more than half the game. They genuinely play awful, dirty hockey.

Deflection off Sandin’s hand. Meanwhile we keep deferring shots looking for a tick tack toe highlight reel play. Way overpassing.

I'm the guy who's going to say they need to keep looking for the extra pass.

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. You also miss 90% of the medium danger shots you do take. But you make ~50% of the shots on wide open nets."

Like say the extra pass only gets to the shooter 1/4 of the time. But that 1/4 of the time leads to a goal half the time. That's a 12.5% chance of a goal. I'll take those odds versus a shot against a good squared up goalie.

It looks bad when they don't get a shot, but remember any shot that doesn't score is a failure!

I think looking for the pass is good and can lead to higher percentage chances, but when you’ve made it clear it’s all you’re looking for then defenses can cheat towards the pass making the chances way lower. Have to be a credible shooting threat to open things up too.
