But five missed shots stood out at me and then the 50/50 split on shots hitting/missing the net did as well.<BR/><BR/>But on that 5-on-3 Semin missed the net a couple of times, as did AO. It's crucial to get the puck on net on a PP, especially on a 5-on-3. The team needs to work on that.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13144581988817631208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427229.post-1162759549031189182006-11-05T15:45:00.000-05:002006-11-05T15:45:00.000-05:00Good analysis of the missed shots, but Pothier was...Good analysis of the missed shots, but Pothier was making some sweet passes on the PP last night - especially on that 5 on 3, he totally set up Semin about 4 times and OV a few as well - it wasn't Pothie's fault they didn't score....just a thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427229.post-1162752344591003612006-11-05T13:45:00.000-05:002006-11-05T13:45:00.000-05:00That is true, when the d are stacked a dump and ch...That is true, when the d are stacked a dump and chase strategy is effective. But it seems to me that dumping the puck in is something that Pots does every time. I watch this closely and I see a pattern.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427229.post-1162750288978086982006-11-05T13:11:00.000-05:002006-11-05T13:11:00.000-05:00I agree to a certain extent, but when teams are st...I agree to a certain extent, but when teams are standing you up at the blueline, you have to dump it in and go get it. Too often if AO is carrying the puck and the D is stacked, he tries to carry it in and turns it over at the line. <BR/><BR/>This isn't a blanket defense of Pothier, but you have to react to how the D is playing you.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13144581988817631208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427229.post-1162749970993521002006-11-05T13:06:00.000-05:002006-11-05T13:06:00.000-05:00Im not a big fan of Pothier on the PP and Ill tell...Im not a big fan of Pothier on the PP and Ill tell you why. He is terrible at getting the puck in the zone. Every single time the Caps need to enter the offensive zone Pots just flips the puck into a corner. Its a joke, with all the talent we have on this team. When the Caps break out of the zone and Pots has the puck he never makes a pass, he just skates up the ice and flips it into th corner asAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
