Every shift in the first 5 mins of this period has been almost flawless. Keep this up and the game wont be in doubt.
Noticed Nurse on the PP, I believe he started the puck movement that ended in the goal. I like the way he moves with the puck, it helps open up lanes further down the play
|
If he can keep playing like that, I can live with him staying there ahead of Bouch, though I'd still like to see Evan given more time on the PP. Bouch is the PP QB of the future for this team.
|
Agreed but I think that spot is a bit of an apprentice role. Especially when the PP is mostly a lethal unit.
If the PP was terrible then you let the kid grow with it but right now I think having Barrie or Nurse, whoever is the hot hand, run the point.
As long as the keep scoring I wont question who is back there!
|
I dunno, I think a good PP would be the best time to break in a rookie, because there is less pressure on him than if the PP unit were dogcrap. This is what broke Schultz in his time with the Oil before he moved to the Pens, the pressure of being one of the main offensive catalysts despite still being a new player.
|
I’d be weary that running the blue line might be a bit much for a rookie, but with that being said, Bouchard looks like he has ice in his veins.

Ok, gotta give Smith some more credit for bouncing back from the rough start. Sure, it would have been even nicer had he not coughed up 3 to start, but at least he didn't let it break him for the rest of the game. I will also give Tipp credit for making the call to keep him in net.

Maybe before a game, he goes through a VR simulator where the opposing team beats him like a mule so that he focuses when the real thing starts. He's been rock-solid this period.

Yep. Doesn’t need to be a Picasso as long as the red light stays off.
