another case of the passes

[nj_cup]

My lord can this team pass anymore?

good old marty showing his ugly head

 

[nj_cup]

just stupid they have clarkson taking the faceoff in the final seconds?


just stupid all around. i dont know what this team is doing they cant make a pass to get into the zone. then when they do get into the zone its nothing but passes?

as much as kovalchuk goes byebye in big games...parise is right up there with him i havent seen him do squat all year in big games or in big situations. and he wants a big pay day?

I don't understand the Clarkson faceoff thing. They have been doing that a ton lately in various situations. Is he this faceoff guru that we don't know about?

 

[nj_cup]

doubt it since he went i think 1-3. why have elias/parise/zubrus out there? use them!

Can't begin to describe any rationale behind the pass happy offense we're converting into...

Didn't see the game BUT, alas maybe the fatigue is setting in with our players? but even so, why the pass happy look now?(this wasn't the case earlier & midway in the season)

 

[nj_cup]

I would rather watch boring trap 2-1 games then stupid behind the back drop passes or long cross ice passes once they enter the zone.

I dont understand why the coaches aren't all over this its pretty obvious

 

[CalamityX11]

yeah, some long passes are good when made but sometimes not needed and the shot(whether it goes in/not) is often the better choice.

Its like no one feels comfortable ripping one...

Henrik let in some sofites last night, and has in the past few weeks. Other goalies, like Marty, are prone to letting in bad goals. Any time you can throw the puck on net you should do it. Bad angles sometimes take weird bounces, maybe it creates a nice rebound oppurtunity, maybe it deflects off somebody. Bottom line is, don't constantly look for the perfect shooting oppurtunity, just get it on net as much as possible and things will happen.
