There have been a few times this year where I feel the team could have used a quick re-set or adjustment as a whole group but no time out was called. Or Saturday Feb 13th where the flames were down a goal with 2 minutes to play and chose to ice a 4th liner (Leivo) with almost zero offensive production rather than rest up the top guys for an extra 30 seconds and get them out there.
I don't know, maybe I am just trying to find some sign of an in-game adjustment as nothing has been apparent to me. |
That used to bug me about Gulutzan....saving timeouts and challenges in case they were needed later, as opposed to right now when the game is slipping away [emoji35]
