Well for the 1st time all season Ketlo put together a very solid back to back night effort. He was not the reason we lost these last 2 games in a SO.
Eberle is playing way to much lately, this kid needs a rest. There is no need for him to be on the PK. Hunt plays favorites way to much, Eberle is so drained his routine plays have become a struggle for him just cuz he is so drained. We have some very solid players who can play in the PK role. Earlier this season Reider was matched with Mitchell and they worked very well together killing penalties. Mulder used to kill penalties as well. Eberle is going to block a shot on the PK and is going to break a ankle or get seriously hurt. Not the player we need out on the PK especially in the 1st two periods of the game. If were down by a goal in the 3rd by all means put him out there to try and push for a shorty.
Ashton has no luck the past few games around the net. Set up great tonight by Teubert (i believe it was) but shot the puck back towards the goalie for a very routine blocker save.
I dont know why Teubert was crying about his penalty to put the Pats down 2 men. That was the easiest call Papp made all night. Right infront of him & Teubert almost bear hugs him down to the ice, then whines about it.
Some nights i really question Hunt's coaching ability. There has bene nothing wrong with the Ashton/Weal/Eberle line just some tough luck around the net with some great goaltending. He goes and changes up the 1st line with Eberle with 2 guys who cant keep up. Leffler all he does it pass the puck to Eberle, which normally isnt a bad thing to do but when the guy has 2 guys all over him that means you (Leffler) should have room to skate. Dont pass it to Eberle just to have him turn the puck over.
