DarthEbriate Posted October 20 Author Report Posted October 20 Peterka redemption for missing the initial shot. Quote
Pimlach Posted October 20 Report Posted October 20 JJP. Nice work by Thompson. Very nice to see this kind of play. Quote
Believer Posted October 20 Report Posted October 20 Nice change we get a goal in the last minutes of a period. Focus! Quote
mjd1001 Posted October 20 Report Posted October 20 Just watched the replay of the last Chicago goal.... Biggest problem was Samuelsson with the puck behind the net, he has time but just throws it around the boards into a 'gaggle' of players, including 2 blackhawsks. He was chased from behind and hit, and the guy that hit him took Samuelsson out of the play and then beat him up back to the boards. So, the problem there was he made a lazy pass, and then got hit, and the smaller guy hit him, knocked him down, and then beat him to the skates to continue the play. None of that would have mattered if Clifton controlled the puck, it looked like it came right to his stick but jumped over his stick...kinda bad luck. Finally, Krebs kinda had the goal scorer tied up, but let him go for 1/2 second when Samuelsson got back into the play. Krebs released him 1/2 second before Samuelsson could pick him up, and he had just enough time to get the rebound. To me that goal is 60% on Sameulsson, 20% on bad luck, 20% on UPL (for the rebound) and Krebs/Samuelsson again (for not deciding who should tie up the scorer) Its really a hard goal to diagnose, even from 2 different angles and going frame by frame. 1 Quote
DarthEbriate Posted October 20 Author Report Posted October 20 Bantha poodoo period, but Peterka gets one by staying near the goal. Quote

It’s mostly Samuelson who has looked like ***** so he gets no benefit of the doubt. He needs benched Quote
Idemo Buffalo Posted October 20 Report Posted October 20 The Power Play looked pretty good. We have a 1 goal lead heading into the 3rd. Not a bad game so far. Have to finish. Quote
mjd1001 Posted October 20 Report Posted October 20 Other than not being able to do anything on the Powerplay, that Tuch, Thompson, and Peterka line are producing like a legit top line. 10 goals between them in 6 2/3 games. 3 Quote
triumph_communes Posted October 20 Report Posted October 20 ***** period but they clawed back. First line showed signs of life for once. PP making baby steps Quote
thewookie1 Posted October 20 Report Posted October 20 It's very strange how 5v5 they are rather effective, the top line has been cooking with Peterka's return but yet the PP looks completely discombobulated most of the time. 1 Quote
mjd1001 Posted October 20 Report Posted October 20 Through 2 periods, Peterka now leading forward in ice time (13:31) Dahlin now way up on everyone else on D (15:54) Jokiharju led all D in time on ice in the first, but only had about 5 minutes total in the 2nd. Dahlin with almost 9 minutes of Ice time just in the 2nd (8:47) 1 Quote

Close play but we were outworked. Muel is disappointing at times, Krebs a marginal player. Quote

If this organization was owned by someone different absolutely. I hate the decision making by committee with the analytics team making some and other being made by Forton and pro scouting My fear is who is going to replace him. Karmanos and Ventura having the final decisions over the current structure is worth a try, with the caveat from all accounts no front office candidate worth his salt will work for Pegula. Forton being promoted would be a downturn as they would lose a lot of front office staff who I think are worth keeping around. 1 Quote

I don't now if he was tired or it was a long shift...it just looked somewhat like Samuelsson was tired. Even flipping the puck along the boards wasn't a great play but it wasn't terrible...just...he got caught from behind, didn't put anything on the flip around the boards, got knocked off his feet by a smaller guy...didn't skate hard to the front of the net. Its like he didn't make a mistake, and wasn't even super lazy...it just looked like everything he did was done with 80% effort when it called for 85-90% effort. Quote
