Minny got a lot of 1st vs 4th line matchups and got pretty sustained pressure out of it. Our 3rd was pretty dominant in the 1st 2 periods, the scoring will come. Mony's shot isn't looking the same is a problem.

Minny tried to be more physical this time around.

FaFo. lol

Gudbranson is RoboCop. The opposition just seems to go, "oh. It's you, nevermind". That pairing is a world of intimidation.

 

I like Minny as a team, Foligno in particular. Tanev trying to hit Kaprizov almost put him headfirst into the boards, yikes. That's one solid-on-his skates dude.

 

There was a couple of WTF moments by the D.

A couple of passes directly to the other team (Zaddy had one or two).

The problem with the 4th line was they had real trouble in our zone.

Extended time trying to get out.

Not really expecting much from them in the other zone other than a hard forecheck.

 

First game, 4th line was visible for a good reason; made the most of O-zone time.

Second game, 4th line visible for the wrong reasons.

Lewis is a gamer and can play with anyone.

If your choice is Richardson or Ritchie, use Richardson.

Against MTL, I think you need Dube's speed and Ruzie's effectiveness.

 

Rewarding guys is one thing.

By that standard, Stone should play.

Icing the best lineup is tough on depth players like Stone, Ritchie and Richardson.

But be honest about which players are needed to win games.

Give them a tune up game now and then.

I saw at least one that Zaddy gave up.

Forget the Lindy one.
