Not what I had in mind, Tuch

With all the. Breakaways and point blank shots they should have been up at least 5-1. They still have a big edge in high end chances. Peterka hits post on breakaway and the other two shoot right into the goalies stomach?? Have to put away opportunities

Half the penalties were dives and the challenge was done wrong. 

Oh, come on, our team deserves to lose every single game if they can’t get a power-play goal and especially when they give up shorthanded goals

Cozens needs to sit indefinitely. His spot needs to be open for the taking. 

Maybe Adams can trade him for Mittlestadt.

Ok, on the last Pittburgh goal...hustling back into the zone wasn't going to stop that goal, but you can see how is and who isn't hustling back.

Look at the screenshots of the goal simulation below. When the turnover happens in the Pitt zone, Cozens, Benson, and Clifton are all in the same area.

Clifton is already coming back so he almost gets back. Benson hustles back and was in position for a rebound, if there was one. Cozens?  Lollygagging back, hes the last one back and WAY behind the play.

Now, part of it is, once the puck was turned over he was trying to make a hit which took him out of the play (dumb hockey positionally).  Even worse, he should have been called for a penalty. He led with the fore-arm on his hit, and following through almost as if he was throwing a punch. 

That is Risto-level hockey. There are times to make hits, and times to not make hits.  Again, he followed through with the forearm/punch so it should have been a penalty on him. But lets say it wasn't, he took himself out of the play defensively if there was a turnover, and if the pens didn't get the puck, he was giving up a prime spot in front of the net, giving up offensive positioning to make a hit a second after the puck was gone.

Hes just playing dumb hockey.
