Yeah, the first goal was horrible but the second was nothing but a fluke bank shot. Can't blame him for that.

Power play! Can we please have a goal?
If Smith faced more shots we'd just be down more

Gio's shot is good but if Chucky or Bennett are not on the ice then often noone is infront of the goalies.....

The powerplay should really not be this bad.

And both seem to be stationed on the perimeter on the PP

They should honestly pretend it’s 5 on 5 while on the PP. The level of overthinking and what I believe to be going for the perfect passing play leads to mistake after mistake

I don't get the strategy of having Chucky stay on the blueline. He should be parked in front of the net, full stop.

True. Though he wasn't very big in the net with all the scrambling in front. The puck banked right to the centre of the net.

Flawed formation is flawed.

No quick shots.

Stationary rubbish from the perimeter through shin pads.
