76The Blues are getting too fancy. Drive the net, send support form screens. Crash the net. When in doubt shoot it on net. Maybe knock in a rebound.

Why does it seem like we can never score on an odd man rush? Not just not score, but never even get a good shot off!
We had two guys going to the net. Especially short handed, we didn't need a third.
Edit- my mistake, he didn't go to the meet, he was "swooping".
Re: GDT: Wild vs Blues 3/14 - 7:00 CT / 8:00 ET
78Man I fucking HATE the penalty + embellishment call.
It's one or the other!
Not to mention he didn't even embellish it!
GAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Let the skilled players play with skill.
Keep the "simple stuff" to the 3rd/4th line.
Get low shoots on goal and force him to give up rebounds.

81That was a rocket from Petro and on net also- I must be drunk
Re: GDT: Wild vs Blues 3/14 - 7:00 CT / 8:00 ET
82They could have 40 shots on goal already and a couple of those would have probably went in.NHLTIM wrote:We are our own worst enemy.......jesus christ stop with the fancy bullshit and just put it on net on their tired ass.
Coaching staff must be livid.

84Look for Bergy to get some shifts on the other lines in the 3d period.

85Makes no sense for him to be on the fourth line. And why the hell is Porter still on the first?barnburner wrote:Look for Bergy to move up to one of the other lines in the 3d period.
Maybe you're right and they switch for the 3rd period.
Re: GDT: Wild vs Blues 3/14 - 7:00 CT / 8:00 ET
86Not happy with a 1-1 tie after 2. The Blues had 21 shots vs. 5 in The 2nd, but couldn't get it past Dubnyk.

Maybe the Blues were trying to be creative because they understand Dubnyk is gonna stop it otherwise.

88About the only way to beat a hot goalie is by crowding the slot for screens and tips.

Got to drive the net, and force rebounds to beat this guy.
This one and done, we could have 80 sog and still not score.
Hope Hitch rips them a new one between periods

91Dubnyk is on his game but he hasn't had to make many tough saves. Gotta put em away in the third, they should be up going into the third but got too fancy at times.

95I get playing the system, but as soon as Tarasenko stops trying to be Tarasenko he's going to be a lot less effective.barnburner wrote:Hitch should tell Tarasenko "If I see one more drop pass, I'm pulling your green card!"ratonmono wrote:Dubnyk is on his game but he hasn't had to make many tough saves.

The biggest concern I have with Hitch coaching him is that he stifles the things that make him great.

Yeah the STL line has been very average tonight, so has the 4th. Stastny and Backes' lines are carrying things. I think Steener's gonna pot one tonight.Re: GDT: Wild vs Blues 3/14 - 7:00 CT / 8:00 ET

98That's the learning experience Tarasenko will gain something from. Not Hitch yapping in his ear about keeping things simple.
Re: GDT: Wild vs Blues 3/14 - 7:00 CT / 8:00 ET
100He has to learn to pick his spots, so it works within the system. He should talk to Oshie. It wasn't until he learned that lesson that his talent really became as productive as it should have been much sooner.HockeyFan85 wrote:I get playing the system, but as soon as Tarasenko stops trying to be Tarasenko he's going to be a lot less effective.barnburner wrote:Hitch should tell Tarasenko "If I see one more drop pass, I'm pulling your green card!"ratonmono wrote:Dubnyk is on his game but he hasn't had to make many tough saves.
