Orlov is straight up garbage
Good synopsis - you nailed it. Watching the game in the PNC last night one word came to mind: Craptacular. We somehow managed to make the Flyers look good (sort of, they weren't) and I can't believe the Canes - from top to bottom - would be so out of sync for the entire game. Ironically, TDA had two really great passes - one we connected on and one we didn't.Our passes are off target. Our guys are either not ready to shoot when they get the puck or have to move out of position to capture the pass. We spend 2 seconds getting the pass then spin and shoot at the net and wonder why the goalie is already there as well as layers of defenders to block the puck.
That was another very poor effort.
I would argue that the passing issue is common sense. I lost count of how many times they lost the pack last night trying risky passes through the (congested) middle of the ice when there were other options. Yes, it's boring to make the safe play. Also yes, constantly turning the puck over is dumb. Figure it out.The passing issue is inconsistency.
I noticed that too. I think if they were crisp with their passing more of those would get through. It’s not that those passes aren’t there but the space/time window is fleeting. Kind of like a QB being late on the throw. The window is only open for a second and it’s a small window.I would argue that the passing issue is common sense.
