COLD... Missed the start as the car was frozen to the ground...
Saw some good things with the line changes. Scoring spread out which is always nice.
Liked the Elbrecht/Mosey combo. BIG along with speed and physical. He should have earned another start tonight with +3 and some strong checks including the 5 minute major slash he drew at the end of the game. That type of physical play wears on the opponents as we saw.
See my post of a couple of days ago on the D. I'm still searching for Schiller/Mosey past stuff to share.
Car is plugged in and ready for tonight.
GO MAVS
The problem with Big analysis of the D is the same mistake almost everyone makes. The points almost never tell the story. Ex. A D makes four mistakes in a game that could have lead to goals but the goalie or his teammates bail him out. Then he happens to get a goal in the game. Under the analysis of how so many look at D they would say he had a good game he scored. No he had a bad game and got bailed out. Also is the D playing against the other teams top line? How many blocked shots ? How did he move the puck out of the zone? How many hits? But its a problem in hockey culture, even in Juniors who is the D of the week the guy who scored 2 over the weekend. Not the guy who blocked 8 shots, shut down the other top line etc.
Elbrecht, Mosey had a good game. Mosey is a good match for RPI because they are a very small team. Like so many D they when they are small they have a hard time playing against a larger team.
Some good points noted.
Would like your take after tonight's game if you are able to make it.
On the D as it"s been a topic for years...
Surprised to not see Cooper in the pairings. He has played well when given the opportunity. I agree with hockeyfan's post, you can't always judge D performance by the +/-.
