Thought that was an ok period. Kept Colorado to the edges until the end. Otter looked good. Odd-man counters were there but not taken advantage of. They survived the onslaught. Now time to twist the screws in.
Pete or one of the veterans needs to light a fire under the guys during intermission though. That was not winning hockey that period. Can't go 8 minutes without a shot on goal and give that many open looks.
Marchment is playing like crap: turning the puck over and losing puck battles. Seguin and Dadonov are a terrible fit ESPECIALLY when he plays like that. At least Dutchy can make up for it with speed. And we know the three of them have chemistry.
I'll also continue to say this, but holy smokes has Father Time hit Joe Pavelski in the face. I am absolutely horrified everytime he's on the ice and we are going back towards our own net. I would have him on some TIGHT minutes in the D zone.
Do we think fatigue has anything to do with it? Playing every other day for 2+ weeks. If they had closed it out on Wednesday they would already be resting...
