And another cross crease center by Malkin but his two RW's were, no surprise, in the right corner.

FIX THE LINES BYLSMA!

Yeah but you can't fix stupid and that's how geno is playing now.

[tunez33]

the pp is horrible when ever a team doesn't sit back, they can't make one pass or get one shot off when the other team is applying pressure

He's on a different level. Can't take a thoroughbred and expect it to plow fields. He's a peacock you gotta let him fly!

[Bowser]

yes Bylsma, just keep hoping Crosby and Malkin won't change their ways and move to the same area of the ice on the PP...... he's clueless on how to coach elite talent.

[NashvilleCat]

Has Bylsma lost these guys? They look uncoached.

[The U]

So much individual offensive skill yet so little offense generated. Very weird.

[Lt. Dish]

God, it seems like Marty Reasoner has been in the league for 25 years.

It may be Marty Jr

Wait: So you mean Ken Griffey didn't play for 37 years in the majors?

I'm always the last to know stuff.

[DontToewsMeBro]

Despres getting some good shots on goal.

[mikey287]

Malkin there, first man back, first man out before the puck was certainly to leave the zone...not a lot of commitment from many forwards on D...sometimes just going through the motions...

So is that what you want him to do? Obviously you want him back down low deep as the Center right, but would you rather he stay in the zone or at the least a bit closer to the action. Available for an easy 6-10 ft outlet instead of from blue to red..

What you want - and this will vary depending on the coach/system - is that first man back to support on the puck, attack the puck carrier, force him to make a play with it...once the puck is solidly in your possession, then you leave. In short.

[Geezer]

This is the most physical I've seen Depres play.

[MRandall25]

This is the most physical I've seen Depres play.

Except he left the entire right side of the ice wide open because Lovejoy was already making the same play.

[DelPen]

Nice defense by Jeffrey on the LEFT side. Now lets get Sutter a RW now

[Rocco]

Awful turnover to set up that goal.

[71Aj66ax87]

[Lt. Dish]

This is the most physical I've seen Depres play.

[DelPen]

Of course it's his 1st career goal.

[iWonTheCup87]

WTF is fleury doing????????????????????

[Pavel Bure]

4th line has no cohesion, they've gotten trapped in the zone everytime out.

[shafnutz05]

Lol

[Fire0nice228]

bahahaha. my god.

sadly enough thats going straight through the crease if flower isn't there. sigh.

[Froggy]

that one is all on MAF

[SolidSnake]

The pens suck on home ice

[MRandall25]

2 other things needed to happen there after the turnover:

1. Fleury needs to get over.

2. Orpik can't be that far up the ice.

[DelPen]

Well at least we are undefeated this year when giving up the first goal.

[bigkam]

Paul Martin: the new Goal-against-ski....putrid shift there.
