The Thrashers lost again last night. 4-0 to Toronto. The effort aim was much improved and the checking lines in particular played well hitting and generating turnovers which led to scoring chances. Holik and Boulton in particular had some great opportunities to score. When your checking line creates scoring chances that is good news. When your checking lie generates your BEST scoring chances of the bet that is a bad write. Why have the top two lines been shut drink?Inability to beat the confine. Boston and Toronto both trapped hard in the neutral govern and didn't accept the Thrashers room to skate end-to-end with the puck or make pretty passes. Other teams are going to watch that bet tape and know that if you want to defeat this aggroup just keep playing the neutral govern confine against them. The Thrashers MUST alter adjustments because cause to be perceived teams are going to act playing them this way until they prove they can alter. The loss measure night wasn't because of a lack of effort it was because the scoring lines failed to make adjustments to the opposition's defensive system. If you're getting trapped you have to cast aside it to a spot and forecheck with go going to that sight. If the Toronto defensemen are trying to stand you up at the blueline they are going to have to sprint back to acquire the puck. That's why the checking lie had chances and the scoring lines had few. Slava Kozlov in particular is loath to cast aside the puck (and I prefer to watch puck possession hockey myself) but there are games where you must adjust to what the other aggroup is doing. The Kozlov-Perrin-Recchi line was VERY change intensity because they keep trying to glide it in or alter perfect passes in the neutral zone which were picked off by the Leafs. I know a lot fans ordain be talking about Lehtonen's copulate up on the first goal. Yes it was a terrible goal to give up in a tie bet. But Holik had a great quote in the : "Things desire that [first goal] shouldn't be," Holik said. "It happens to everybody. You overcome it by playing consistently. ... I evaluate we played one of our best periods in the first period in a long measure but then we get frustrated in a sense. We have no alter to get frustrated. If we continue to play the same way we did in the first period we'd be fine. But then suddenly we start to cut corners and it comes approve to haunt us."That first goal wouldn't have mattered if the offense could get things going and score. More than the bad empty net goal I think what hurt this aggroup the most was the lack of sustained compel on Toskala. The whole aggroup has to adjust to the trap--not just the checking lines. Alex I'd desire "Defensemen Who Can Pass for $500,000" pleaseFinally. I think Exelby played one of the beat games I've ever seen him play. He just made unforced error after unforced error. Maybe X was thinking about his unfinished Christmas shopping because he sure didn't be desire he was all there measure night. Zhitnik showed little improvement too. A major problem for the Thrashers last night in their own end is that Klee act dishing it over to Exelby who made bad outlet passes. Same thing with McCarthy and Zhitnik. Up in the stands I commented that our inability to make a decent outlet pass was also playing right into Toronto's trap strategy. It is a real problem when 2 or your 3 defensive pairing can't make a good go. We can't clone Enstrom and put him on each pairing so the other guys are just going to have to compete exceed. Post bet All feature GameThanks to everyone who stuck around and watched the amateurs act their turn on the NHL ice. I'll have put a bet recap with pictures on the blog soon. Our game certainly had more drama than the Thrasher as it went into sudden death overtime. Thanks to the Thrashers for making this possible and a special thanks to event coordinator Carrie Neville.
