He looked out of position on the OT goal (but Slaf caught him off guard).

I found Vasilevsky overcommitted on every goal

That Anderson goal was especially bad.

 

[AH$$$]

We don’t lose that series if 10 and 28 play the entire series.

Are they targeting his glove side? e.g. Texier hesitating and opting for the backhand?

That was weird wasn’t it, a quick release upon receiving pass w blocker side wide open

Good observation…

 

[worm]

Early on we had that 2 on 1 and newhook shot it wide. Was that glove or blocker side?

It nicked the top of Vasi's pad, blocker side.

No, Texier just sucks.

 

[CH1]

I think Tex was like how the fuck did this puck end up on my stick? This happens a lot with Demi passes, that’s why when he gets good linemates, he’s getting 100 points every year.

 

[Sal_Butera]

No, Texier just sucks.

Texier had Vasilevsky out of position all he had to do was shoot, but that backhand move allowed Vasilevsky to get back in position

 

[CH1]

Slaf going off will help Caufield. The D and Vasi were cheating towards his side and were punished for it. They won’t be so Cole centric in game 2

 

[Habsy]

I think it will help Hutson too. They constantly had a two player trap on Hutson creating more room for the rest of the players. I suspect there will be an adjustment there

 

[CH1]

They did not give Lane any time/space to handle the puck. I suspect that won’t change but I’ll be interested to see how Lane adapts.. if he dishes the puck immediately… how MSL will try to create space for him… maybe he plays a few shifts with Matheson… etc

I know. That was my point.

He was agreeing with you!!

I was agreeing with him agreeing with me.

 

[CH1]

I was agreeing with him agreeing with me.

That’s excessively needy
