If Misa one times it, it’s a goal 75% of the net was wide upon. He shouldn’t have corral it.
Every one of Dickinson and Misa’s games have been better than the last and far outpace the vets. All that combined with having Eklund being easily the best skater on the ice gives me hope.
JD! Eklund was a man on a mission today. He was flying, the fastest besides Macklin on that PP entry, wonder how they’d work off each other on a line with that speed and playmaking😉. Eklund was doing everything but just couldn’t find the back of the net, to me he was the best shark today and looked amazing. But I completely agree, I verbally said OMG on that Crosby goal and otherwise it was just puck luck.
Sorry to say that but you're a bit delulu JD. The win is not coming with Warsofsky unfortunately. If they win it will be nothing but pure luck because the game system is horrible and that's why every player is lost. Look at Hawks who hired Blashill and their game looks completely different-they're pain to play and they are able to win some games. We're an absolut embarassment of a team. Warsofsky should be fired asap or our youngsters will get frustrated more and more.
