Unfortunately, Zaddy was on the wrong side of the play.

You are not going to stop McD from behind.

But, I believe you are correct on the mistake/soft play that Tanev made.

He didn't get in the way of the player.

He skated to intercept but missed body contact and just tried the stick.

I don't think that is typical of Tanev or a guy like Ras.

They normally take the body.

 

There is a pattern that we should be aware of...

McD loves to gain speed on the RW side and cut to the net.

Kylington or Hanifin or Valimaki have the speed to keep him in reach, but it would be good to have a D block the way to the net.

Since it's esentially the same cut every time, it probably is the RD that deals with it.

Tanev or Ras or Zadorov (if he shifts to RD with Kylington or Valimaki).

 

If Gudbranson is on the team, then he needs to be on the blueline or back most of his shifts.

Falling down at the offensive blueline doesn't cut it.

 

Saw a Quick highlight where he started pounding the guy that crashed him. Every goalie in the league should do that. Maybe get the paddle up where his face is.

Can just say, "I was protecting myself".
