Only watched the first period and a half, as it was late here, but some things I noticed:
Why is it that our veteran players who should know better go completely AWOL when it comes to covering their man? Classic example on that first goal with Larsson inexplicably skating across the ice to make a hit on someone who was zero threat, leaving his man wide open. It's been happening regularly every year for as long as I can remember, and both defensemen and forwards are guilty of it.
I didn't grow up playing hockey, but did play all kinds of team sports, and making sure that your guy is covered is something you learn at a pretty early level. How these "best of the best" players are still making basic mistakes like that completely boggles my mind.
I thought JP had a lot of bounce in his step. Was always noticeable (in a good way) when he was on the ice. I wish the Kassian experiment on that first line would just end, and that we would put a skilled winger there instead. Doesn't need to be JP, though I think he's a far better fit there than Kassian.
Koskinen looked ok to me. Not much he could have done on any of the goals that I saw - his team didn't help him one bit.
Koekkoek looked pretty solid on the back end, and I liked the way Barrie moved the puck around. I do wish he'd be a little more selfish at times rather than always deferring to McDavid or Drai, but I imagine that'll come in time. Didn't miss the human starfish out there one bit.
Glad they're playing again tonight - hopefully they can bounce back from what was a pretty sloppy effort all around in that first one.
