Oh yeah!
He has always been, the hardest player for me to notice, when he has a short bad stretch, every now and then.
I guess I’ve become so used to his great overall consistency, and stability, that I’ve become accustomed to not looking for his errors!
His forechecking, and checking on the boards, rarely ever rise to the level of being “teeth rattlers”, but the checks he does execute, are usually quite strategic, purposeful, and effective!
I wasn’t really eyeing Backy much, tonite, but good to hear he’s picking it up a little!

I have been focusing on his defensive game because he seems to have taken a step backward in that part of his game. He was fine tonight but being on a line with Vrana isn't making things easy for him and Oshie in the defensive zone.

Bullshit and you know it.
We are never going to win another Cup the way we are playing now. We will never get past the first round.
Our face offs are BAD. Our PK might be good, but it needs to be , considerig how many dumb fucking STUPID penalties we gie up. EVERY FUCKING GAME! STUPID, LAZY, DUMBASS penalties. EVERY game.
Not even one to pick out more than onother. They are all guilty.
Being the most talented team doesn't win you the Cup.
We have a whole team riight now of "dumb as a box of frogs".

Oshie is about the only player I have any respect for after this game. and even that's pushing it.

Sorry for the delayed response Justwin!
I think I saw the same thing you did, just before the video cut, It showed Oshie spitting out a little blood from inside his mouth.
All I can tell you is, I DID see a referee approach, and take a look at him right after the penalty was called. On the replay of it, I also saw Oshie drawing up some spit right away, to see if there was any blood, as well.
We’re left only to surmise, that at the time he was checked by the referee, no blood was present, or it was a negligible amount, not sufficient enough to convince the REF that it was worthy of a four minute minor!
I was wondering whether it may have looked as if the goalie intentionally left his stick up a little high, in order to “accidentally“ make contact with Oshies face!

Oshie is a hard worker and is responsible defensively. But I think I respect Tom Wilson. I can't think of anything bad about his game.
