Wow!!

Youth. He's deferring.

Tuch really needs to start hitting the net.

Now, My complaint. I don't ***** care about your top five Spotify artists!!!! Not only does Spotify sound like crap compared to other services, but they are the most invasive in terms of data collection, and other than YouTube, they pay the least amount of money back to the artists. ***** Spotify.

I should put this in the Awesome thread, but I took my last pills last night. Done. Celebrated with a couple of margaritas at lunch.

We all know that these are all just preseason games for next year. There has got to be (or, at least, I hope there is) a developmental reason for this to continue.

Absolutely. And I think it would work, too.

Mitts really needs to work with a skating coach. I think he would be a power if he just widened his stance and bent his knees more. Just like Dahlin last year. He still slips back every now and again, and you can see it. As soon as he stands up straight and looks pretty, you just know a mistake is coming.

I’m kinda glad they blew that 3 goal lead now.

Tuch misses the net too much.

This game is ours now.

It’s way worse. Cuz it’s Detroit.

I want Detroit to score,… Then we come back and win.

No sac.

Stupid penalty to take. They have not not called that every time it happens for two years. What a stop!!!!

He didn’t even touch anywhere on his legs. Refs call what they think they see.

Why do guys turn their backs to shots? Don’t they realize all the padding is in the front? So dumb.

So, top 16?

You would think that in this day and age of hockey technology, they would have come up with a way to deal with flow by now.

In open ice. Board battles and the cycle have nothing to do with speed. (Footspeed,… kinda. You know what I mean). They’re about taking a beating and still seeing the play, then making it.

And yet you say that physicality has nothing to do with it.

Oh, my god! That’s the point. Guys use their bodies to gain positioning.

I agree. Tuch needs to use his size more. (AND LGR, I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT PUNCHING PEOPLE). He definitely makes a lot happen because of his size, I just feel he could do more with it. Our young guys (they are really young) will get there.

Lack of physicality leads to bad penalties. Imo

Doubt it. We rarely get to those areas. When we do, we usually scare, too. We had people on here last night actively defending UPL and how he had no chance on (I think) four of the goals. I’m not an idiot. Do we need better goaltending (GT)?… um, duh. But bad goaltending is an easy, simplistic excuse for why the tide shifted in the last 4 minutes of that game.
