nawein 324 Report post Posted December 28, 2014 Several mistakes by Ericsson on that goal. Gotta love it. Not in a really really really really long time. We need some "nasty" on the back end. Lashoff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted December 28, 2014 Complete breakdown there. Giveaway by Ericsson. Howie made the first save but Hoffman was wide open for the rebound. Barely. Howard as much to blame as Ericsson. A floater that bounced out of his trapper? He has to hang on to those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted December 28, 2014 Lashoff At least he knows that he's a stay at home D-man and plays to his abilities/doesn't get cute with the puck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, but he at least made the first stop. If the dman was on Hoffman there's at least a chance he doesn't bury it. Still as you said, he's got to squeeze the trapper on those.

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted December 28, 2014 So disheartening watching our defense crumble against every team with a physical and fast forecheck. Gotta get our points against our fellow soft as poop teams cause this defense isn't going to magically learn to be strong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted December 28, 2014 Wow, one of Zetterberg's lazy bad angle shots actually ends up amounting to something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) I'll take it! A little sluggish to start the game. Let's hope the end of the 1st carries on to the second period. Wow, one of Zetterberg's lazy bad angle shots actually ends up amounting to something. ...a little puck luck never hurt anybody.

joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted December 28, 2014 The thing is, we'd be much better off taking a hit but we hand the puck over first so we can try and avoid it. Ottawa just has to look at us and we'll hand them the puck. Embarrassing top to bottom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fonzarelli 73 Report post Posted December 28, 2014 I wonder what other coaches do to get their teams to start on time. Babcock has not been able to get his team to start promptly for 2 years, at least. I do think it's time to bench Franzen. He has no energy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
