That’s how you can describe this game from start to finish with the SO. The top guys couldn’t finish anything and kept missing the whole game long.

Wasn’t much space & time all game for both teams. Hynes hockey.

Game time start didn’t help imo

All they needed was 1 PP goal on 5 chances against one of worst PKs at home. Could not do it. That’s their undoing.

Very poor execution & simply too static. Couldn’t or wouldn’t take one timers. No urgency or pressure. Didn’t even wear out the PKers. A very easy PP for Minny to watch & wait them out.

With all the weapons & shooters on the PP only 1 chance from Brock. Need to shake it up in some way. At least get some feet moving other than Hughes. The OT was more of the same.

I thought they got a bit too fancy with the passing all game long. Too busy looking for the perfect play. Not enough grind aside from a couple of players.

They'll just apply more terrible gimmicks to fix a terrible gimmick. It's the NHL way...

Probably been mentioned but a shot clock? That would force offence.

I don't like Kuzmenko on the left side. He doesn't move enough and isn't a threat to shoot and it's Boeser's back hand so a shot-tip is a not ideal.

Petey has completely stopped shooting from the other side as well. Maybe bring Boeser out to where Kuz is because he has a better shot and 1 timer. Put Kuz in the bumper.

Good start to the road trip, got a point and sit second in the entire league, tied with Boston. Love that they’re continually trying to get better and working at it.

They also talked you can't reverse a zone or give up the puck.

He's being shaded for it since they know Kuz isn't going to shoot.

That started last season, teams know what he’s got for a shot but he has to just say f**k it and shoot it as hard as he can and hurt some people. He’s looking for the perfect shot and they only happen once and awhile. Time and space is at a minimum, just fire it and kill a few people, they eventually be reluctant to get in the way.

The kid is still 8th overall in NHL scoring averaging almost 20 minutes a night and he’s +8, every night doesn’t have to be a Picasso, an 82 game schedule is a grind!! Just keep working hard.

Agree. Needed more greasy play PO hockey style.

Petey doesn’t create on his side.

Let Miller cycle & Petey move into right side slots to shoot more. Boeser 1 timer from the left & Kuz net front.

Agree a hockey trade only. Not giving Kuz away at lower value. Also willing to wait for him to find his game so no rush or even trade him.

Daughters going home tomorrow, spaghetti and homemade bolognese tonight for dinner. I wanted to grill something up because it was 26°C today but she wanted pasta. 🍝

Liver, bacon, and onions with brussels sprouts. one of my favorites. My Granddaughters get here in 5 weeks, my Mom is so excited.
