9 shots on one of the worst teams in the league, who have probably the worst head coach in the league and also played yesterday in another city and had to fly here.
The Ruff times are begging to be over at this point.
This wasn’t a really a coaching thing. Guys are out, Bratt doesn’t have his legs at all, Mercer missed the open net (more than once?) and Tatar wiped out an unusual number of times even for him. Zacha is having a major whatever game and better be sick because he’s as physical as my grandma was (on my Dad’s side, my Mom’s mom was a pretty sturdy Latvian lady).
Hamilton was very engaged (pressing really, with stick taps all over) in the 1st as he saw openings everywhere in a bad Detroit defense, but he was working alone and his shooting kind of sucks with the fishbowl. He’s run out of gas a bit or just frustrated at this point but he has to be the few generating offense.
The real winners are the not good NJ novelty cover band who’s shtick is to perform in flight suits. Top Gun Day has given them a great, once in a lifetime, gig in the arena concourse. Congrats guys.
Zacha’s breakaway lol.
