It’s not fair criticism, it’s a knee jerk reaction to an exhibition where the team is testing new line combos/players/PP & PK units. For anyone paying attention it’s not surprising it took a period to settle in before steamrolling them(while rotating goalies). All while trying to escape without injuries so it’s not a normal game. Especially when that hard checking, playing on the edge is the identity of this team
Can’t believe there were a few ledgies that popped their head up in the 1st period of an exhibition game. We sat a ton of guys and yes weren’t super sharp early but chill guys, consider the context
Some guys named like Tiger, Spieth, McIlroy and Dechambeau have used Strokes Gained to inform their training and improve their strategy but I'm sure it's all fluff.
Listening to the postgame with Jax and reading between the lines, Tyler had to wait on the sidelines while they chased a few blue chippers. I'm guessing Martone was one of them. It says a lot about his character that he is willing to do that and earn his spot every game.
I get it, if I had to put money on it I think they'll win too. It just makes me nervous is all. Younger team, missing key players, after holiday break. We had these duds under Hak too
