I thought this was a pretty amusing analysis of one of Suter's recent breakdowns.

 

When you're in man-on-man coverage you should probably man your man
 

 

 

It also points out a problem that the Wings have been having.

That is both hilarious and great analysis of defensive breakdowns.  

It looks like on that play Suter was being lazy and was just hoping to circle around in coverage instead of having to stop and start to stay with his man.  

The announcers were talking about that for Jagr during the latest Stars game.  Apparently the coaches were pointing out how he was circling too much in his own end, trying to save energy, instead of stopping and staying with his man.  To his credit, Jagr apparently worked on it and joked about it being hard to break 20 years of bad habits.  

I love this one as well.

They figured people will need it the way Quincey and Cleary are playing.

June 2008?

Seems like the last 4 games we've played have been powerplay fests, for or against.

 

Remember when hockey used to be fun to watch?

<br />Seems like overtimes have ended a lot faster the last few years than I can ever remember.<br /><br />The marathon overtime games of the past are fading away.  About 10 years ago especially, there were multiple OT games seemingly every night.  <br /><br />I guess in one sense, this era of hockey brings more exciting back and forth OT's, hence the game ends faster.  Ten years ago, there was more trapping and less chances, hence the games went on longer.  Of course, there are still games from time to time that go multiple OT's (we already had one in these playoffs), but I'm noticing they're becoming more rare.    <br /><br />Personally, I miss seeing longer overtime games, especially when other teams are playing.  Just seeing the grind and tear that long games have on the players adds to the playoff excitement.  Goals in such games are so backbreaking for the team that loses them.  Now, the games end before I can even sit down to watch the OT.<br />
