3 Cups

Somewhat of same story, different night. They did get goalied by the guy that will probably win the vezina. You put 49 shots on goal, normally you score and he did make some pretty great saves but self inflicted wounds again.

First goal that one is on Nuge for the most part. He has the puck at the point and decides he is going to try and pass literally through 3 Isles. Look at the replay. Islanders are in a box, Nuge at the top right corner of that box. Isles #44 maybe 10 ft from him. To make the pass to McD in the corner the puck has to make it past 44's stick/body who's in front of him. There is the stick of the top left forward who's number I can't see and then Pelech who's kind of in front of McD. So what is the chance that pass makes it through? 1 out of 100? He could have dropped it to Barrie for a shot with Hyman in front. He could have shot it with Hyman in front but he elects to try an next to impossible pass to complete and surprise surprise it gets turned over. If he had of made the pass McD was there to one time it in for a highlight of the night pass and goal. But got picked off goes the other way. Then Nuge on the back check has Pageau until the blueline then stops staking and leaves him to cruise in for an easy goal. Barrie is sort of covering the pass but not really and his back is turned to Pagaeu as he watches the pass.

Second goal. Watch the replay. What is Bouchard doing? He's puck watching, that is what he is doing. You have Nurse AND McLeod paying attention to the play, you don't need another guy watching the puck. Bouchard is just standing in front covering nothing. There is even an Islander creeping in which should be Bouchard's man but he's not paying attention. Bouchard should be heading towards the far post to pick up that guy. But he's just standing there. Then he puts his stick down for a perfect tip.

3rd goal. Puck comes in, not really a dangerous play. Goes behind the net. Nuge is in front covering sort of a guy but not really anyone. Bouchard is spinning circles at the post covering no one. He doesn't go to the puck carrier or cover Aho coming in, he just stands there spinning around. No one of Leon or JP are covering the Dman that comes from the point unmarked. A DMAN beats out a winger and a center to the far end.

3 goals where it was lousy team defense and most of the mistakes were done by critical players to the team, guys who would be automatics to be on the team regardless of what a person thinks of management. So until the team decides enough is enough and play sound team defense and fundamental hockey, the GM can bring in whoever a fan wants and it won't help. Nurse can make 1 mill less to please fans and it won't help. The whole team has to decide to play defense on every single shift and commit to doing it well all the time.
