I agree Dahlin did not hit him hard enough to crash UPL like that. I think that’s why Dahlin went right after him. He knew Kucherov took a “free” shot. Everything has a price though.
I do believe we are slowly seeing a changing of the guard in the Eastern Conference. Soon, TBL, WSH, PIT and BOS will be relegated to mediocre. BUF, NYR, FLA, TOR and eventually OTT will be the perennial playoff teams.
Coach isn’t the dman who gives up the odd man rush. He’s not the forward that loses puck battles or turns it over at/after the blue line.
I blame coaches for who they put on the ice but not player execution.
Having a hard time blaming the coaching. The coach isn’t the one on the ice making mistakes. Through the powers of deduction, players need to get their head out of their a$$.
