Description

I’ve consistently thought Newsy puts these guys in a box and I don’t like a lot of his usage for our defence. But that’s all fine so long as they can play your system and be sound. Couldn’t be farther from it. Turnovers everywhere. Missed assignments. Losing every race to a puck (usually not even skating to win them). Soooo many odd man rushes why does nobody ever cover?? Why are the D so bad at pinching. Why is there never support. Putting the players in situations where they can’t GO using instincts and then having no structure on top of that, disaster. Seriously what the hell is this team

I say all this because I believe many of the guys are trying to fit in the box Newsy is shoving them in but just can’t get it. And when they play free, they look good, fast, creative and can play as a team.

It could be that he looks like Dobby from Harry Potter and the players can no longer look at him 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've always kind of thought Danny DeVito Penguin from Batman.

I didn't get to watch the game but could it be the forwards aren't helping on D which causes the defensemen, that are limited in ability, to try and do too much instead of playing more positionally?

Was at the game tonight…. Brutal from top to bottom. Sprong was the only forward moving the whole game. Seider and Walman were terrible, everyone looked like they were skating in sand.

13 hits tonight. Maybe their energy guys need to be throwing the body a bit more. A couple big hits can get the momentum up and guys should skate a push a bit more.
