I particularly like what Wysh wrote about it. Something to the effect of Rinaldo starting the fracas and leaving the brain-injured Schenn to deal with its aftermath.

I really, really, really don’t like Rinaldo. My sense is most players don’t, either.

He’s been the most consistent guy on the blueline, even if he’s not lighting thing sup. The Bolts defense in general is not impressive, so getting on Brewer sort of underlines issues for the defensive system.

Poor Emma (she’s the 12 yr old) has been miserable for about 3 days with this mess. There was actually something on CNN the other day about this virus outbreak. There were 14 or so people that ate at one restaurant come down with it within a day of eating there, so the CDC thought is was some sort of food poisoning and shut the restaurant down, but after they went in and inspected it good, there were no violations. Turns out one of the servers came down with the crud too and they believe she may have spread it around without knowing it because she wasn’t symptomatic at the time….

I think I see the problem with teh Power play. Everyone is jockeying for position, not responding well to pressure, and Vinny is usually moving toward the crease / jockeying around the crease. I know it seems like a stupid observation, but with (usually) three guys struggling to play keep-away, Marty on the lower boards and Vinny in the crease, it feels like they lock themselves in to an inadvertent short-handed situation

They also are all thinking offense, so they’re horrifically unprepared mentally to play defense – hence the shorthanded goals.

TBO is where you saw the article.

Seriously, ladies, take a look next time they set up a power play… it feels rigid where players are positioned. Not fluid like in the past when the team has had it’s biggest successes.

I think you’re right John. The PP seems too “textbook” if you will. It doesn’t allow the talented guys to be creative which is what they do best. Seems too scripted. Too easy to defend when the guys aren’t allowed some artistic creativity.

Did I just say that?
