So how do you explain Hellebuyck then? His save pct basically .910 to .925 consistently for 7 years now.
64 with a game score >3!
I think you’re right but it’s apparent it’s now time for significant coaching and player alterations in the offseason
Maybe he watched the minutes with/without Schenn in the lineup last game?
So is it a player issue or do we start to look at coaches who can’t build a winning game plan against Montreal or Toronto when it matters?
Could be, but think it was more that Schenn was out for half a period. They hit a rough patch again when Schenn returned.
D makes total sense based on eye test. Nyquist is a shock to me as he appears to have all Ehlers‘ dumb plays minus the speed or offensive output. Maybe it’s because he almost creates offense so often but ends up blowing it up most times?
Big Stan has been a drag on this team for a few seasons, but his game this year is much less chaotic. It almost seems like he and Fleury have flipped. Or maybe it’s just the Schenn effect. Pionk has also been less chaotic without Samberg this year.
12M player showed up the 17M guy in that OT!
Ya I know but at some point hopefully there will be some accountability.
It’s a start but adding Miller and playing Chibrikov instead of Nyquist would have signaled more awareness.
Koepke coasted and watched Guenther put it in the net.
Need to start benching some ineffective vets (14, 70, 5 to start with).
Exactly, but Nyquist is a wasted roster spot for what he brings (not much). And Koepke has been a disappointment other than PK. He watched the winning goal while coasting.
Self inflicted is also putting Schenn and Stanley together. And I thought Stanley was decent again, but Schenn handles the puck like a hand grenade and is too slow against a fast team like Utah.
Totally agree but I’ll be surprised if it happens.
Tonight was an example that although 64 is not a top 4D, Fleury/Pionk is still worse than 64/4. Only hope is Salo joins the Jets or a trade happens.
The lack of quickness is coach inflicted. Barron created two penalties in his few minutes through hustle and still playing fewer minutes than Nyquist and Pearson who both look like pylons. If not for Flames 27 being a penalty machine, might not have been a good outcome.
Uninspired is being kind. I counted at least five times he single handedly killed plays or gave the puck away. Sit, waive or trade him I would say.
Like way overdone. Giveaway machine and looks like he’s skating in quicksand.
That was a bs penalty call.
Four pools closed at the same time in a city that already has limited facilities. How does this happen?
Hmm…hadn’t realized the Republican Party had officially discredited Judaism and other non-Christian religions following the Old Testament. It’s becoming clearer….
I like it, but notice no 14 or 70 in your line combos. I think it will be a struggle for Arnie to sit 70 and it really shows that Nyquist‘s cap hit is likely best used elsewhere.
