They system is loaded on the left side. So Skjei can always be moved. I don't see him playing that bad this year. I think people have crazy expectations of this guy. They should have gotten 2 points and they are letting up too many late goals in the third period. However, this is what happens when you have lots of young players. It's a learning process. I don't see this team having lots of issues. Most people talked about this team getting a top 5 picks. They are playing much better than expected.
I also don't the defensive zone play has been that bad. There are 12 teams who have allowed more goals. About 5 more that will when they play the games they have in hand. If you take out the Carolina game, this team would be in the 10 for GA. New system. Two rookies on defense. People are overreacting.
Wow. went to bed up 2-0 after 2. Woke up and we lost 3-2 in OT giving up the oblgdatory late goal with a minute left. This is what growing pains look like. Don't know if skjei is hurt or not but he is not playing like a kid with his size, talent and experience should be. With our depth on the left maybe we look to see if we can trade him in a trouba deal.
Yeah, something just seems off with Skjei, maybe the contract is making him feel some added pressure but he doesn't have the same assertiveness he usually does.
Wow i just saw a snapshot of the blue line on the tying goal and AA was completely offsides. How the helll did our coaches miss challenging that?
