Blown 5on3, 2 empty net misses is more than enough to win chances but choked


Seems to me 5 on 3's always resulted in at least one goal years ago. Now it seems to be rare to score at all.

Maybe I just don't watch enough hockey to see them anymore.

Yeah, the empty net misses hurt.
 
Lol if you guys want to take this as some vindication for AM in big games you’re delusional. Guy was invisible.
 
Too many old guys that just aren't what they once were. Marchand, Stone, Parayko, Doughty... we absolutely had better options.

Bedard, Scheifele, Dobson and Schaefer off the top of my head.
Schaefer should be in for sure, don’t understand why they passed on him
 
I didn’t compare him to McD. I said he was invisible in this game. And he was.

Lol. Primary assist. Primary matchup duty against the top line.

Wtf did Eichel and the tkachuks do. What did McD do other than flub a breakaway. Mack other than flub an empty net.
 
Ridiculous criticism
Not really. It was a dumb play. But even the best players make dumb plays. If someone is claiming he sucks because of that, they're an idiot... but the criticism of that one play is absolutely warranted.

Oooh a primary assist. Ya he did a great job shovelling the puck to Boldy at the defensive blue line. No way Boldy splits two dman and creates a goal from nothing if someone else shovels that puck

Literally the only time I noticed him other than a stick lift on Marchand which Marchand took right back.

Invisible.
