He created the "crazy bouncing puck" you are referring to. the puck was on his stick, prior to the redline with an outlet at his disposal. He chose to create the crazy bouncing puck by pushing it into the Crunch defense. It wasn't like he put it on a players stick in the slot but it immediately lead to a odd man rush and a goal. See want you want to see.

He chose to create the crazy bouncing puck by pushing it into the Crunch defense. Expand I was referencing this very type of play in an earlier post. The way they’ve played all year involved a team effort entering the zone. If one player got in trouble there was help close by. Lots of puck possession that way. Driving off by yourself with no real plan for possession is foolish and something the kid still thinks he can get away with. Hopefully that’s the message they’re trying to get in his head.

No. Is he part of a lineup that hasn't played together showing little chemistry, terrible defense and suspect goaltending. Yes. Casey isn't to blame but he hasn't helped much either. I delved into this subject on Rakish's podcast if anyone wants to listen. They we're winning with Eric Cornel, Dalton Smith and Nathan Paetsch contributing. They just need a few games/practices together to get reacclimated with everyone. Here is a nice tidbit: Expand Yeah they need some scoring from other forwards, I think Mitts is second amongst the forwards in his 11 games there.

Expand Let's not fall in love with offensive stats. Everyone loves to. Especially with Dahlin and the like. Mittlestadt is talented but he's been on the ice for more goals against than for. Casey can create, unfortunately we're never quite sure what team will be thr beneficiary. 1
DarthEbriate Posted January 17, 2020 Report Posted January 17, 2020 UPL with the season debut for Rochester tonight. Let's see how he does with a ... slightly scuffling... Amerks squad the last few games. And a roster missing Pilut, Lazar, Tage, Asplund, etc. Hopefully K^6 can bring them a good spark.
inkman Posted January 18, 2020 Report Posted January 18, 2020 Home to watch the last half of the first
inkman Posted January 18, 2020 Report Posted January 18, 2020 Gilmore with and end to end rush, dipsy doos around the D and roofs it. Amerks 1-0. 1
inkman Posted January 18, 2020 Report Posted January 18, 2020 Here's a UPL save and more important Casey Nelson doing something manly. 1
inkman Posted January 18, 2020 Report Posted January 18, 2020 UPL just got schooled by a pro on the PP. He'll learn from it. Even at 1-1.
inkman Posted January 18, 2020 Report Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Mitts gathers his own rebound and scores. Amerks 2-1. Edited January 18, 2020 by inkman 1
inkman Posted January 18, 2020 Report Posted January 18, 2020 UPL gives up a weak goal to some midget. Tied 2-2.
inkman Posted January 18, 2020 Report Posted January 18, 2020 Bad bounce off the boards. Amerks down 3-2.

Those guys are now all in Buffalo. That's a ton of talent to lose off an AHL roster. Blaming Mitts for the slide is complete BS. Expand I agree that they lost talent (although not sure how much above AHL average — since all NHL teams call their best AHL guys up periodically), but the bolded is a bit strong unless you’ve watched their games pre and post mitts’ arrival IMHO.

inkman Posted January 18, 2020 Report Posted January 18, 2020 Amerks lose in the SO. Just an ugly game. Refs sucked. Hit about 4 posts.

Did the team look like it's making improvements for when (hopefully) some reinforcements return? Or does it appear a bit disjointed?

Had to kill to 5 on 3s. Dominted most of play but didn't capitalize.
