Cash or Czech Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I'm fine with benching a third line, offensive-minded forward up by one goal in a tight game where defense matters most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Nice breakdown by Rupper of Panarin's subtle brilliance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Sometimes I'm amazed at how well these former tough guys are at "X's and O's". Rupp, I never considered a "skilled" player. Guys like Berube, Fotiu, Grimson, and the like are pretty damn good at breaking this plays down and pointing out these special talents....and I thought all they could ever do was drop 'em!!

Shesterkin didn't have to steal any of these games (althought Geo stole the one vs Canes), the 5v5 play has been a lot better and we're finally getting depth scoring. Igor has obviously been amazing and carried the team through some rough games, but I have to give credz to Drury and Galant. Every time we notice something bad or something that needs to be adjusted, they get it done. The improvement from game to game is obvious to see. The way the team never gives up or very rarely shits the bed (fuck Devils) like they used to do all the time before. No more goals in the first or last minute of the game, a lot less stupid penalties. I just feel like this team is always ready to play, something that was rarely the case under Quinn. They go into every game believing they can win and they just keeps on going no matter what happens during the game. Still a long way to go, but this team really makes you believe, and I guess that's all we can hope for at the moment. Bring on the playoffs! More than the recent record and who they're beating (that's gravy), I'm finally beginning to feel like this team is in a place where they can play competitive playoff style hockey and go toe-to-toe for 7 games against a tough opponent and that's been great to see in this recent stretch.

Pete Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 2 hours ago, Valriera said: Quarter of the forwards - our d is the envy of the nhl Sure, but they still added Braun and flipping a quarter of the forwards doesn't make it better. Also, I would say the packaging of the D is the envy of the league...The product had been quite sub par in terms of defensive metrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
