Like I said. TRADE MILLER. He’s a liability. He’s a watcher and a stick checker not a dman. He’s useless in the defensive zone and especially terrible in front of goal.
But once again, this team is playing with its tail between its legs and trying to the outside and refusing to get into the dirty areas. Fire Gallant. Fuck this coach.
Well, not testing the goalie again. Too much passing. Z and Pan invisible again. We have been putrid in Pitt in this series. 7 periods and 1 even solid period. Oh well...
The team and kids will grow and learn, but the scary part is nothing about this team is playoff style. They are East-West. They are pretty finesse plays. They are over passing. They are not a physical team. Until those things change they will never win in the playoffs. Should have realized that coming in.
Z an Panarin have not been invisible...both have had decent opportunities only to inexplicably lose control of the puck.
Anyone remember that one season that Kreider used to just park in front of the net and got a bunch of deflection goals?
Yes, they each had their name called once and lost the puck with no one on them. That is invisible with zero impact. Sh*t period. Don't know why Strome, Kreider, Z, and Pan would wake up now, so that will be that.
One period down and we deserve to be down 2-0. Look like horseshit. Nobody is hitting this non physical penguin team which is just ridiculous. Still time to right the ship but need a much better effort!
Who has been good this series? The kid line. Maybe you can say Lindgren when he has played. Reaves has hit off and on. Truthfully very few guys have played well. So throw 90% of the team into the pot.
The defensive zone stuff is what's most alarming. It's like they've learned nothing as the series has gone on.
