Looks like the team decide not to show up last night. It was definitely a game where I am glad I wasn't able to watch it live. Wild seem to have the Oilers number.
A couple of things that bothered me after a watched some of the goals and the game.
- Obviously the give aways. The team handled the puck like is was a bouncy ball. Just sloppy as hell.
- The 3rd goal. I don't like where that came from.
- The 3rd goal. Bouchard. The guy has tools to be a real good offensive dman and I think he has the smarts and the game to be OK defensively. But my god, please, please, please grow a set. He gets the puck, hears footsteps, sees a guy coming and he literally fires it up the wall like a scared little boy just wanting to get rid of it as fast as he can because he's afraid to get hit. I think it was Zuccarello coming at him, it wasn't a big guy anyway but the way he reacted, you'd think it was Lucic barreling down on him. Bouchard is 6'3, almost 200 lbs, if someone nudges you, you will be OK dude. As a dman, contact is going to happen.
-McLeod. I love his speed, I love the skill and I love the fact he has all that with his size. But just like Bouchard, my god, grow a set. He's 6'2, almost 210. Fighting is almost out of the game now. No one expects you to fight, you don't even have to be a guy that tries to put people through the boards but get in there!! Stop standing there looking scared to touch someone. Yamo is tiny and he's almost picking fights with guys like Rantanen who's got 8 inches and almost 70 lbs on him. Yamo is flying around acting like a bowling ball at 150 lbs. When there is a scrum happening, get in there McLeod!! Maybe finish a bloody check once in awhile.
