Where are we going wrong with these now? At the start of the season we were hurting teams when they took penalties, now teams are just taking the pi$$ when we are on them.
Too much passing and waiting for the easy shot, not screening the keeper, too many men behind the net, people on the ice that are not natural scorers?
I'm sure there are plenty more reasons, but that needs sorting out pretty quick.
Tonight they could have called out five seat numbers and had the fans on the ice for all the good it did them.

From what I saw, total lack of movement and invention, no cycling the puck to get the man on the overlap and no one lurking outside the blue line to hoover up the breakaways.
2 SHG against and failure to convert a 5 min major are pretty woeful. It just looked rushed whereas Giants seemed to have more time on the puck, plus have probably the best "power forward" since Scotty Levins in Szwez. Can't we offload some of our reportedly highly paid dead wood and get someone of that calibre instead?

last night we did actually stick someone infront of net. only problem it was bergin.
and i wish neilson would stop doing that daft overlap on the blueline. they do it so slow now the other team can see whats coming and block the play.

It's all about coaching, think we have come unstuck there.

We aren't moving it fast enough and there's not enough movement or variety.
Teams shut us down before we can get a shot off.
IMO we need to crash the net more.
Tactically I'm more worried about the defence.

Because our powerplay has only one trick. Move it to the blueline for either Neilson or D'amour to shoot.
All the other teams know it now and just like Belfast last night, they just push a man out quick on the shooter,give him no time for the shot and make him pass it again.
Hopeless !

Totally agree - D'amour one of the worst culprits - he was too busy posing at the face off to notice the puck go by him and BAM! SHG. Because the forwards weren't able to move it around enough the point shooter(s) could be easily pressured to coughing the puck up and then a fast skater (like Szwez) gets a free run on goal. I don't think KSP is a bad goalie but our defence is one of the worst Ive seen. Averaging nearly 4GAA after 20 odd games. NOT a championship winning stat! |

I like the powerplay (Lets call it Plan B with the blueliner shooting, plan A) where we cycle the puck, get the D moving and play it across the crease - we scored some lovely PP goals with this earlier in the season..... but teams are wise to it now. Time for a plan C please!
