Oh I'm easy my friend, this is strictly a debate over the entire situation. My whole point was and still is...this team (as structured today) lacks the talent and capabilities to execute a structure that is designed for other more "skilled players" and it's the coaches (personnel) responsibility to make adjustments to the skill talent on the team.

That's what my comments were about, and I haven't seen any adjustments at all with regards to zone entry.

Not everything has to be viewed as a personal attack, it's all a healthy debate with a heavy dose of sarcasm thrown in.

I dont even consider it a personal attack. There have only been 2 people in the history of this site who has truly pissed me off lol. I dont even think we were far off in this debate. You citing lack of skill and the coaching should adjust, which i dont disagree. I saying the players are more so the issue with a previously successful power play rather than the format being unsuccessful. Either way, any debate that stays civil is one that i am open to discussing

Codes is being weird today just ignore like I did when I abandoned him in front of the Orange Julius in the food court at the mall.

Pretty embarrassing play for Hutton to impede Pettersson on that goal against. What was he doing there? Shouldn't he be, you know, defending opposition players?

I give Hutton the benefit of the doubt on that one, as I believe Petterson made the error on that play.

Thanks Carol

as long as Peter C is ruining that team, I can't imagine it being an ideal place for any new coach to take a job.

We take 2 of 3 in California.

There is no contradiction. The drop pass zone entry is utilized by over half the league. The 4 forward 1 defenseman the same. Our PP was 9th best in the league last year using the same format, so im not sure why people think its not working. The difference between 9th overall on the PP last year and 19th this year IS player change imo. They are not even close to being the same as last year. Yes enter pettersson, and yes boeser has been absent, but the players have changed, not the structure.

I'm a fan of Pettersson scoring from the 'Ovechkin Zone'.

How the puck gets there I could care less.

LA sucks so we might get a point that game...but ANA and SJ.

Can't see it.

Nice. I'm just watching the game against the Jet's right now. 2 minutes left in the 1st, Bo unlucky for the puck to trickle right across the goal line. 3-2 after the first period could have changed the game.

i haven't watched the last 4 games. don't want to make myself more depressed.

I'm half way through the 3rd. I know the score ends up 6-3 which doesn't look good. An empty net goal too. First goal by Marky hurt.

Van got out shot pretty badly but the entire team played a pretty good game. Van had lots of chances to tie it up.

Virtanen is going to be awesome in the playoffs.
