UK_Soldier Verified Member Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) Another Suter cross check. Seriously guys. If there was a game to run him, this was it, and you're really not doing it...and Benn, you're only slightly tougher than Suter.

With? Goligoski? Hopefully Klinger will be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumba has been playing his best hockey since his pec injury. He's focused on defense since his benching and has made little to no mistakes and has been extremely solid (still not $6mil solid) for the past few months. As soon as he quit focusing on contributing on offense, everything got better for him. This has thoroughly been outlined by the beat writers.

Glad the boys at least gave him a good hit and some crap. As long as we don't play stupid and jeopardize the game, I think they really need to lay into him at the X.

He has looked really solid most of the season and been great in the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree with you on his defense has been better but his puck handling, especially when being pressured, tends to lose control more often this year.

You might be right, but it's not what I've observed. Everything he's been doing to include breaking out of his own zone has been better IMO. I'm a noted Dumba detractor BTW from years gone by even when he was scoring, but I love what he's been doing this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both pretty bad. Klinger does have the puck-moving/scoring advantage, but his defense is f'ing horrendous as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they needed more minutes. Line 3 was the only group really playing well in my opinion. I thought out defensemen did a pretty good job clearing out Fleury's bad rebounds and what not, and I don't think they really played fault in many of the goals, but the other three lines all looked terrible at defensive coverage.......and MAF was atrocious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
