They give up the blueline like they are the French Army in 1940 and then they get scrambling around and it ends up in the damned net because nobody does anything resembling defense

Frustrating. Beleskey kept his feet moving in the zone, puck finds him

You would think the last 30 seconds would be on lockdown with the top d pairing on the ice and all.

You have to do more than that, better than that, at this level -- you only get so many good looks like that

Like I said earlier, we overrate our players. Raffl is a below average NHL forward. Good speed, solid on the PK; on the flip side, no offensive hockey sense, hands of stone and average size and strength. He's a perfectly acceptable 4th liner but thats it.

I'll have to look at that again, see whose man that was -- couldn't tell at first glance, but Beleskey clearly left somebody behind up high

Guderian. Boudreu would be Hitler.

So lets put 'em with Giroux!


Our entire left side has to be up with the worst in the league.

It looks like Schultz took Couturier out of the play. Only saw the one replay

It's not a crime to be a good 4th liner and PKer, but Raffl's hands are something that the coaching staff has to understand are a problem

Is all of the above a possibility?

Looking at that pass by Giroux. We've seen him do that no look pass many times with Hartnell. It goes between the legs. G is as exciting a playmaker as any. Getzlaf and Giroux going tip for tap in this one.

Must not be thrilled with the Kesler addition
