Player Discussion What is the solution to this teams consistency problem?

He did say the opposite for brannstrom, you're right. But he followed it up with how it wasn't an issue at all when he was with the sens back in the day. Like you said, some can do it and some can't.

I guess we need to get more versatile D?

Looking at the 4 I mentioned, 2 of them had no problem excelling on their off side.

I also don't remember it being as much of an issue. I don't recall publications differentiating LD from RD because if they were good, they could do both, for the most part.

Speaking of this...anyone see Chabot and Giroux at the point on the powerplay with both on their one timer side, and Giroux asked and called for a switch...why would we ever switch to get out of the one time position...that is much more dangerous on the powerplay. I used to always see redden and Alfie switch to get on their one timers...not to get off their one timer side.

Why do we never set up for one timers on the pp? We don't have Josh on the half boards like a couple years ago...we didn't use chychruns big shot on the point last year.

I see other teams being deadly with one timers but we never seem to use them.

Liked when Alfredsson/Karlsson/Gonchar were setting up one timers too.

It’s harder in the D zone on your offside D, and easier in the O zone.

Can it be done yea, just not as well.
Now Sens have a good balance on both sides.

It’s baffling.

I know and understand why, but it’s baffling.

Green isn’t an idiot, he knows more about hockey than everyone posting here. He’s got 20+ years of a playing career and 15+ years of coaching.

He can see it. He has guys in management who can see it. He has analytic guys who can read it.

It’s very upsetting that we can’t seem to make the obvious choices.

Well it’s probably not just Green deciding, it’s likely a discussion among the coaches.

Analytically we don’t have access to the Sportlogiq numbers, which they have hundreds of, that fans don’t have access to, that provide a lot more info on.

Might get some better ideas on addressing consistency if you put this on a main board . @Adrianopolous can give you a hand.

Not sure I understand the point of the thread other than "Step right up and place your Vent Here"

So 12 games in where we have played some excellent hockey and laid a bit of an egg in the last one many are at trade a core piece?

I really like the acquire a player that can put the team on his back. Easy to do I guess. Anyway McDavid / Draisaitl and MacKinnon two premiere studs in the league are currently early in the season on sub .500 teams .. and that is with MacKinnon/Makar 1-2 in NHL scoring.

EMO baby , EMO
