DC_1908:
While the coaching advantage and history of them and the franchise is paramount. They run a system and play a style that is designed to beat the system and style that we run, and when executed correctly, like NYI did last night, no amount of “high end skil” in a pond-hockey system will beat it, (without help from the zebras).
This leaves Reidon needing to come up with adjustments, AND personnel executing theses adjustments flawlessly on a regular basis, and those adjustments fooling the other coach’s and players. Call me pessimistic. but I’m not to confident about that right now.
But, hats off to Trotz, this NYI team should be the last team anyone wants to face in the playoffs

I’m guessing this is as close to benching as it will get for a few players....

I don’t understand how Bura is still in but Jaskin isn’t, Jaskin out played everyone in his last two starts

"We're just not feeling it" quotes Niskannen. :lmao:
How the F are you not feeling the nightly Ass-Fu#@ing you are taking as of late?
Vrana - Eller - Wilson on line 2. Well, okay, Willy and Vranna can carry that line.
Ovi - Backy - Oshie on L1 - I get it, but Backy has been in a kind of a funk
Bura - Kuzy - Connolly. :lol: . What the hell is this line supposed to do? I mean sure it's punishment for Kuzy (who well deserves it) but all they gonna do is provide an EASY line to play against.
WHY THE FUCK won't they SIT Bura? M-A-Y-B-E Kuzy can help dish him the puck, but then WHAT? - Bura will just hand it over to the first opponent in his grille.
I'd rather they scratch Bura AND Kuzy AND DSP and STEPHENSON and play Jaskin and Boyd, and ANYONE else who can show some FUCKING WILL.
PUCKNRUSH:
An honest, but crappy thing to say, from Nisky!
Good info though, Rich!
Kuzy, with all his incredible skills, seems a kind of peculiar person, to me.
He’s often expressed his disdain for our home media, and has spoken of the “virtues”, of not being a selfish player, and how he has trouble sometimes, with being told by his coaches to shoot more, when he chimes back to them, about his dad taught him to not be selfish with the puck. Trotz would talk about Kuzy’s mentality being “engrained” with this “team play” thing, attempting to explain why he wouldn’t shoot!! (Remember this issue)?
I’ve always thought that Kuzy has sort of reluctantly gone along with it, but doesn’t like it! I think that because he possesses such a supercharged skill set, it can make him a little obstinate, sometimes!
This leads me to associate how he seems to appear on the ice. I think he gets bored easily, of the regular, basic, keep it simple type hockey! He appears disinterested, and not very excited, at all, when skating around the ice. He’s also one of those players who throws their arms up, when they think the ref should have called a penalty!! Something I hate to see from players these days, as their “up in arms” reaction usually causes them to slow down, while becoming distracted from the play that is STILL GOING ON, while they bother to complain!! It’s selfish to me!
Kuzy may have an attitude problem!! I want to reiterate this is just an educated guess on my part, with very little actual evidence to go on! But it does seem to fit nicely with how he appears on ice, sometimes! It’s also getting a little OLD!

They way the games get called, I don't mind the players complaining to the refs. It works for Syndey :snicker:
But it's nice to see the coach complain about it too. That's the one thing I couldn't stand about Trotz, he barely says a word about bad calls/non calls. If you don't count that eye twitch.
