Maybe guys were tired, but that was some lazy arse defending lol.

Nice screen by Nurse too, think that went through his legs somehow.

29 looked bagged in the first 30 seconds of OT


24:22 for Draisaitl and 23:59 for McDavid. It's too much and it's asking for them to wear down.

If it was a night where it looked like they were really going, maybe I could understand it - ride the hot hand - but Draisaitl looked over-used all night. The end of the second he gave the puck away three times in a row on a single shift, failing to clear the defensive zone. He looked tired, so why are we playing him so much? Got to have some level of trust in the rest of your line-up to at least not lose it while you give the big guys time to catch their breath.


I wasnt aware the TOI from Leon was up there. You can get away with that with Connor, but the performance curve drops way off with 29. Pretty much always does.


I'm serious, in the last 10 minutes, the third and fourth lines almost didn't get a shift - although the second line was really Draisaitl with two fourth liners. I don't get it. Puljujarvi and Holloway looked decent in the little time they played I thought. I didn't see a lot of mistakes from McLeod. Why are you tying those guys to the bench?

As g2k says, it's counter-productive on so many levels. Everyone on the team just starts to figure that it's up to those two guys (with a little help from 18 and 93) to win games and they can just settle in. And it wears out those guys. It's hard minutes for a forward, especially a top forward, because you can't avoid contact and battles and the other team is targeting you. It's going to be wearing on even McDavid.

And it hurts the team psyche if everyone just thinks it's McDavid's job to get things done. They become more like spectators than participants.

Poorly coached and poorly executed game.


Coach was scared of Columbus for whatever reason. Players followed suit, with a dose of lazy. This conflicted thought process of scared that something will go wrong, but also being convinced that it shouldn't take much effort to win against this crappy team.

Hope they can quickly rebound. Feel like games like this in past years would snowball.


Ridiculous minutes for Nurse (25:48) and Ceci (22:56) too. It's the worst goddamn team in the league and we have seven defencemen dressed. Why are you riding that pairing? It's not like they've been airtight this season. I don't even think Bouchard and Broberg were on for any goals against and yet they're playing 14 and 15 minutes respectively, with Kulak getting a shift ahead of them in overtime. Kulak is about #5 or #6 for me in terms of OT defenceman options, so why he's out second is a mystery. Woodcroft trying to send a message for some reason (although Kulak was out on the tying goal, unlike any of the young guys).



"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
