That'll happen when you play the rush game vs Winnipeg. Should go to a neutral zone trap and hope to get a greasy one. Playing with fire with the ice open.
Looking back on this series I think we just got beat by a marginally better team with slightly more depth. I'm not sure how much of it was ultimately in our control.
Turris has been disappointing. Doesn't feel like he's doing anything on faceoffs either. Craig smith hasnt done much. Ellis has loafed more than LeBron. Jets own the front and middle of the ice again. We have to resort to PK pulling a smart move to get a penalty. Almost desperation.
Have to start drawing your 6 on 5 now and pull with 4 left if needed. Put Ekholm in Center field and get at it.
We peaked early, and Kyle Connor got hot for them at the right time. The game still ain’t over yet though.
Winnipeg's forward group is top notch, really a template for success up front, much like Nashville's D. Jake Trouba is borderline elite, I would short list him as National Team captain moving forward (It will be Mathews of course)
Good season guys. The playoff format is shit. The 4 best teams in the league all met in the 2nd round.
