Great analysis right there.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 8:58 am To me the team, as a whole, does not look to be in sync. Passes are off. They are getting owned in the middle of the ice, too many lost pucks and allowing other teams to transition too easily. They have cut down on the D zone run arounds but the fire tire routine is still there.
I watch them and I think where is the chemistry. Perhaps after two years of massive turnover both years it will just take time. They don't have a flow to their game yet. No cohesion.
They need to improve drastically in F/O and on special teams. They just look off and like they are struggling in so many areas.
They should be scoring more.
On the PP Pettersson needs to take every one timer he can and get his shot on net back. He is stopping almost every pass and trying to make a fancy play. Miller needs to stop turning the puck over. To get out of this funk on the PP we need shots, shots and more shots. Just hammer the frigging puck. At least number 23 isn't hitting shin pads anymore LOL.
Coaching the cohesion right out of them…Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 1:13 pmGreat analysis right there.Hockey Widow wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 8:58 am To me the team, as a whole, does not look to be in sync.

We all know this team can play better than they have thus far this season.
I have no doubts that will happen eventually.

Well usually you try to present yourself as the knower of all things.
Let's just rephrase; Who the hells been watching Arizona lately!Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 1:54 pmWell usually you try to present yourself as the knower of all things.
You had no idea OEL was a top offensive defenseman in the league for the last decade?
You didn't notice him at all the year they won the Pacific Division and made it to the conference finals?
Well they made the playoffs in 2020.
Have to wonder how the guy golfs. Does he just chop at the ball? Must start from the ladies tee, probably plays a lot of five and a half rounds.Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 9:15 pmCurmudgeon wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 9:04 pmSeriously, imagine the look on the seamstress' face after he leaves a suit to be tailored?

It's funny, Donnie and Dhali were saying he's a really good golfer the other day?Curmudgeon wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 4:50 pmHave to wonder how the guy golfs. Does he just chop at the ball?
