The good news is that 3 on 3 play and shootouts do not exist in the playoffs.

Penalty shots exist, though rare.

I really don't have a problem with the 3 guys we put out there in the SO. Strome is a bit too laid back in his approach IMO, but compared to what we have available....
Glad we didn't see Ovi or Dylan
I'd have McMike out there for sure - he's got great hands. Hell I'd give Ethan Frank a shot. WTH - put someone out there with something.

We continue to insist on the slowest guys for OT and the guys with the fewest moves for the SO. Strome has moved into Ovi territory in the SO. He just can't do it. He's a score on the rebound guy, not a break away guy. It's time to shake things up. For goodness sake, get Carlson off of OT. We're losing most of the time anyway so let's try some speed. How about Frank? Mangiapane? Sandin? Wilson? We've got nothing to lose. Same for the SO. As mentuioned, maybe McMichael. Hell, give Dowd a shot. Anybody. Maybe we need to be dressing Vrana again. Just try something.

The bad news is that we still need to play in our own end against fast and skilled teams. We've looked like do-do at it the last bunch of games. The coaches need to be on this aggressively and have us come out looking different after the break.
Mickstix:
Definitely need to do something different on D. Our goalies are getting way over worked on high danger chances lately. Hopefully Carbs sees something on tape they can fix.
