Williams started to show some flashes of little plays in the offensive zone. Richards had I think one nice touch pass down low. Overall both their games are suffering badly. I'm still pissed Richards was the forward that caused that 4-3 and then was the forward out there when they scored.
Brown has been so bad that it's hard to figure out what's wrong there.
Carter is the only one of the top 6 forwards that's been solidish. He's been getting back through defensively and showing speed offensively. Having Clifford get him some pucks made him really stand out more. You could tell too that he felt awful about that late trip.
On D Slava Doughty have both been solid the whole time. Really liked Marty's play on Hall late in the third. Scuderi is getting back up to speed quickly too.
Still this team overall only barely started to show some semblance of system play in this their third game. Other teams are getting by on getting to the puck while they remember how to play and this team hasn't felt the need to do that yet. Makes me worried.
Pretty much agree with everything. Those two off the posts were killers for Kopi.
But it seems clear this team is missing Greener and Mitchell.
