Post-Game Talk: Preds vs Blows 4/4 7pm The Nobody Wants to Start a GDT Edition.

Betcha juice is wondering why he's the only one working his ass off!

Has for a few games. Time to simplify the game ... leave the zone en masse .... not more than one guy making a break down ice .... not leaving the guys back in the defensive zone many options and when the pressure comes, it goes bad.

This is a huge issue with the breakouts. Yes, you want to get up ice but there can't be 4 players at or beyond the blueline when 1 guy is trying to get out from behind the net.

Problem in the Ozone is not reading the play, moving their feet early to get into position then control the play. Compared to 10 games ago, they look exhausted.

Through the Nzone the gaps aren't tight or aggressive enough. This could be because of the point I made above about the forecheck but if you put the two issues together you get a shot against per minute.

Top line still bleeding chances and possession 5 on 5.

Another PK.

Keeping it simple ... understand the situation and act accordingly. If they all fall back defensively, attack. If there is pressure, support. No matter what, don't force it.

I guess we misplaced our hockey brains again.

 

[Marty Party]

Five?

 

[Mass]

That’s not a penalty

 

[bdub24]

Bullshit! Kylo saw him coming and ducked into the hit.

 

[SouthNash]

Probably game knowing our luck...at least it's schenn

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

At first glance, that didn't really seem like a board, or a targeting the head, or an interference, and would have been a nothing burger if the Blues player hadn't started stumbling over.

Edit: Ok, I guess he does hit him in the head, but that's pretty harsh on Schenn considering Kyrou's stumbling.

Edit 2: That's not a f***ing board though.

Literally making up a call. Shocking, can’t lose face

 

[sparkle twin]

That can't be 5.



Thank you, 2 minutes.

This crap of refs calling an unspecified major to then review has to end. Raise your arm then make a specific call. If your call is found to be wrong, it is either downgraded for that specific offense or nothing.

 

[LCPreds]

Make up call… we’ll take it

 

[bdub24]

Buck you Flues!

Yup, they called a penalty because he hit him hard and it looked bad in real time. There wasn't really anything to penalize on the play.
