Rangers need to come out and bury their chances. Cant let guys like Crosby and Malkin hang around in a one goal game.
Pitt is taking away the stretch passes. Only have one guy in deep. Need to start cycling and working them that way and then work the stretch pass again.
Passes are just off. Lots of good chances but set ups are lousy and are resulting in no shots and just turnovers. Need to be better there.
Can't complain how they have played except for the score. Another game like this would be 4-1 . The Pens shouldn't be within a goal in this one.
sheppard should be playing in the next game. Laperrier and Downie are running around and glass does nothing. Whats the point of having him in the lineup.
I'd be ok with them double shifting Kreider and/or Miller and sit Glass for the rest of the game. He's too slow and looks like an idiot out there completely lost.
Their d-men aren't pinching in so there's no stretch pass. When they lose possession four guys quickly skate down ice into the dzone and neutral zone and force us to make short passes and be more precise. We need to do some dump and chase with the Hayes line. That's our best cycle type of line. Need to possess the puck in their zone for a while. What I've also noticed, too many guys waiting for puck to come to them instead of going and getting the puck. They're playing not to lose instead of to win.
Not sure if Brassard just ran out of gas there or gave up on the two on one but that was ridiculous if he just slowed up for no reason. Allowed MAF to completely play the shot and not worry and a pass at all. WHY CANT WE JUST WIN A GAME EASILY???!!!??? Ugh!!! Haha
I dont like how this game is going. Too passive in the third. And Nash need to drive the net and not take chest shots.
I don't think it's too serious but it's probably a concussion protocol thing. It was a pass not a shot, so that's a plus. But anytime it's a head involved they wanna make sure
