If I'm MJAT, White comes in for Moen tonight. There's no excuse for Eller and Armstrong trying to hit everything that moves when they get shifts as a fourth line, and then looking over and watching the biggest of them in Moen going around stick-checking. Refusing to fight is one thing, not finishing your checks as a fourth line player would drive me insane as a coach. Am I the only going nuts when I see him not finish a check on a defensemen? (It happened at least 4 times in the second period last night)

Oh jeez.

More than one. Pleks lost his man twice and they scored twice.

well if they had scored on those multiple chances Plek's mistakes wouldnt have mattered

Refs have been plain bad all year. Last night wasn't special.

No way for you to know that.

so then if you were the coach that'd be your assessment? put it on Pleks??

thats pretty cold

I didn't say to put it all on him. You said there was only one reason for the loss. I disagreed and gave you an example of another. Rask's play helped a bit as well.

no problem

it seemed to me that Markov could have tried a lil harder on that pass from Krejci to Seguin

Based on the result, hard to argue otherwise.

missed opportunities in the first put us in that situation, same for pleks being put into that situation later on imo

no matter what else happens though if you can't finish on key opportunities against a cup contender you arent gonna win the game

Markov looked entirely out of gas from the 2nd period onward.

Plekanec was a train wreck last night.

Refs in all pro leagues are horrible in hindsight

I dont even follow basketball but its well known that the Raptors have lost 4-5 games with late bad calls.

The NFL everyone hated the replacement refs than the full time ones came back and every game had calls that made you scratch your head.

Now this year the NHL has the goalie interferance BS, it will get called all year untill game 7 of the SCF winning goal ala Brett's famous foot in the crease

Plekanec was a train wreck last night.

realistically against a team like the Bs who are strong down the middle it always turns into Pleks vs the rest of their centers, beause the rest of OUR centers are nowhere near as defensively strong so all the pressure is on pleks

guess its a good thing Subban's getting used to more minutes again

Penalty minutes?
