Randall Flagg Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Okposo, ERod, and Nylander looked great there. All in sync. Nylander's positioning at every step of that shift was perfect. Showed more on this shift than Mitts has in 3 games (not a shot at Mitts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) He looks far more assertive than in any viewing since the 2017 WJC. I'm not worried about him launching that puck into orbit, if he can get to that position with regularity, when his nerves calm down, he's shown he can roof that easy. The key is getting him there. And I like the Mittelstadt move to wing, C is a bit too much for him right now and he was holding that line back a bit. Let him ride with Jack and open up line 3. I think Pominville's season-long goal is to see how slowly he can push a puck toward the net from the right wall near the blue line without it getting blocked. That was his best one yet.

PASabreFan Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 I see they've added a wrinkle to the power play neutral zone drop pass. Oh joy. Love seeing RJ with his mom in the booth. How many announcers can get away with that? Unfortunately his mom passed away a few years ago. This lady is the lady who is always sitting behind the glass.

Randall Flagg Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Kyle "Stone Hands" Okposo I see they've added a wrinkle to the power play neutral zone drop pass. Oh joy. Unfortunately his mom passed away a few years ago. This lady is the lady who is always sitting behind the glass. It's like a tic for these guys. They NEED to go back to behind their own goal line, even if they get the puck with everyone set up and in the NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Isn't there some discretion possible on the too many men call there? Or was that one just a little too egregious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 It's like a tic for these guys. They NEED to go back to behind their own goal line, even if they get the puck with everyone set up and in the NZ. It was annoying last season to watch Risto routinely kill 15 seconds on the power play behind his net... but then they'd score so it wasn't so bad. Keep killing time, Risto.

Eleven Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Isn't there some discretion possible on the too many men call there? Or was that one just a little too egregious? It wasn't too many men. It was illegal substitution, and I need that explained to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 It's embarrassing for phil at this point that he keeps running Pominville out there with Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Gotta say that Nelson, Guhle, Wilson, Mittelstadt, Rodrigues, Baptiste, and Nylander are certainly addressing one of our biggest shortcomings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) congrats on ROY Antipin Good on him for winning. Bad on the numerous (rookie) forwards who had ample opportunity to crack this weak lineup and put up some points.

PASabreFan Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) congrats on ROY Antipin Did they show this? It wasn't too many men. It was illegal substitution, and I need that explained to me. Merely out there too soon (player coming off not within five feet) instead of being "in the play" (touching the puck or checking an opponent)?
