Norcal Posted October 22, 2022 Report Posted October 22, 2022 No Stevens so far. I like it just wish I could hear the rink better. Quote
inkman Posted October 22, 2022 Author Report Posted October 22, 2022 Bad guys score on the PP. Crunch 1-0. Quote
Amerks8796 Posted October 22, 2022 Report Posted October 22, 2022 The PK is so bad it’s almost hard to believe. I get that it’s a small sample size, but I think it’s at about 62% right now. You could not even try and do better. Quote
Norcal Posted October 22, 2022 Report Posted October 22, 2022 Yeah, small sample hopefully. The Crunch are 6/11 on the PP so far this season too. 7 minutes ago, Amerks8796 said: The PK is so bad it’s almost hard to believe.

It’s a trend, and even going by the eye test, I just hate their PK. The philosophy seems to be a wedge plus one type kill that gives the opponent ample room at the point. The collapse down low and basically never pressure the puck. It’s a very passive PK and hasn’t worked for years. Quote

Well, when you have 0 defensive defensemen (well 1 kind of sort of now that Tischke took Pilut's spot) you have to try something to help them out. Quote

I don’t see that as the issue. They struggled last year even when they had Samuelsson and Fitzgerald. I think it’s just a poor PK philosophy, in my opinion. Personal preference is a very aggressive PK. 1 Quote

pastajoe Posted October 23, 2022 Report Posted October 23, 2022 I was at the game. The Crunch didn’t do anything great. The Amerks just turned the puck over too much in the D zone, and made bad passes in the O zone. They look like a young team that needs to make better decisions. Quote
