Thread: I was wrong
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>I said the momentum shifted on the Zegras penalty, I didn't say Zegras is why they lost the game. That was a whole team effort. I'm aware he was the most dangerous looking forward out there the last two games, I was watching them too.

McTavish has spent lots of games on the lower lines this season, go look at all the games he was on the ice for ~12 minutes. This isn't the first time McTavish has been punished either.

You don't think "you take too many dump penalties" was one of the sticking points during contract negotiations over the summer? He had more PIMs than Carrick did last season. He's 11th this year and he's barely played 20 games.

No, I don't think Strome or Killorn or Vatrano should be allowed to slide when he isn't, I would have benched the entire top 6 last night and told the bottom 6 to just run out the clock, but we can't act like the consistency at which Zegras takes minor penalties isn't a problem, the other guys who put up those kinds of PIMs/game are getting five for fighting or game misconducts.</div></div>

Cronin and Verbeek are bad. You just wanna blame Zegras for it all tho.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jded</b></div><div>😂 this is such a reaction post. Zegras isnt going anywhere because of one penalty in one game when ANA has been far and away the most penalized team in hockey with him sidelined all year

Verbeek’s job security is undeniably far worse than Zegras’. The team has taken no step forward with him on the bench despite maturation of youth and some solid offseason additions. His team has no discipline and his systems haven’t worked 5v5 or on special teams. While I think he gets another year, there’s no way Zegras’ leash is shorter than his. Regardless of who hired who, Z has proved something in this league and Cronin has not</div></div>

It’s not because of one penalty in one game. It’s because he’s the only one Cronin sits when he takes a penalty.

Verbeek is a bad GM and Cronin is a bad coach but I don’t think the Samuelis move on that quickly from Verbeek which means Cronin will stick around too. Those 2 don’t like Zegras.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>McTavish had less time on ice than Zegras did last night. He's been busted down to the third line for stretches this season and I swear he was benched around the 40 game mark.

I still don't know what the initial Zegras penalty last night was when he got slewed, the refs definitely seemed to be working towards a script, and the entire team was undisciplined and sloppy last night, but Z has to know he's on a short leash when he was the penalty minute leader on the team last season and he's not getting fives and tens. Should Z have been given some leash back afterwards when Killorn and Vatrano kept going to the box? Maybe, but Z's penalty is where the game turned.

Edit: Sorry, I was wrong, McTavish was busted down to 4C last night. Zegras was 2C, even after Z got benched, McTavish wasn't given his ice time.</div></div>

That’s because for the 1st time all season Cronin held someone “accountable” and played McTavish in the 4th line until Zegras’ benching. McTavish took the last handful of shifts at 2C.

Zegras shouldn’t be on a short leash. No one else is. And there lies the problem.

Also blaming the game last night on Zegras is funny since he was most dangerous ducks player all night.
