His pass was through a defender to get to Ruzi and was tipped causing a Ruzi fumble. I agree Hubi thinks the game differently so either Hubi changes his game or his line mates change. I hope Pelletier will connect on that same level. A big good young center from a Lindholm or Hannifin trade with those two might be exactly what Hubi and the Flames need. We have over 600 more games with him in the line up so it has to be figured out. That's fair and if I had a better angle I could check. Live, and on replay, It looks like Ruzicka didn't handle it well but I can't see if there was a tip or not. The defender was not in the way of the pass, but was playing Ruzicka, so to Hubie it would have looked open for sure. You could for sure argue he should drive and take the one on one chance but I would argue that a cross cease pass to an open player has a higher percentage than a 1 on 1 net drive. This is also a play that you would see him make in Florida routinely and often wide up in the back of the net. Wasn't a poor decision for me is all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought shooting to his lower right would have given Rosie the rebound chance. The pass was awkward at best, I thought. Rosie was likely already reading rebound, I'd assume.

Rozie appears to sit in the zone and wasn't driving the net anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
