The Pens just dont have the focus that the Isles have. Sure they played well tonight but dumb little mistakes have cost them all series. The Isle absolutely will deserve the series win if they close it out in 2 days.
Jarry's given 2 away this series. He's mediocre, nothing more, nothing less.
Unbelievably both happened in tonights game !!!!
Jake did get turned around. Jakecould have played it better.
Exactly. I was worried when this nobody started game 1, because this script was already written.
We know what happened on the third goal.
You nailed it pretty good on the Isles 2nd goal. It was a 5- star scoring chance.....thanks to Dumolin easily coughing up the puck on the solid Isles hit.
Shots are typically rated as low danger, medium danger, and high danger depending on where they are taken on the ice and whether they are taken off rebounds or on the rush (which upgrade the degree of difficulty) ..... obviously high danger shots have the highest chance of scoring a goal ....... on goal #1, based on where the shot was taken and the fact that it came on the rush would have been considered a high danger scoring chance ...... the average Save % on high danger scoring chances is approximately 80%.
A little more detail on the 2nd goal for the NYI's ....... The puck was turned over in the corner behind the goal line and Jarry appropriately was standing on the near post ..... as the Islander carried the puck outside the goal line, Jarry appropriately went into the rVH position on the near post ...... the puck was then quickly passed to the low slot in front of the crease where a wide open Islander tried a one timer which would be a very difficult save for the goalie, Jarry's job was to try and get from the post out and over toward the top of the crease really quickly in order to have a chance to save the one-timer, Jarry actually did a really good job of getting there and if a one-timer had been taken he had a good chance of making the save ...... unfortunately, when the Islander went for the one-timer, the puck actually jumped over his stick and went several feet to his right (to Jarry's left) ..... at that point, Jarry was off angle and in order to have the best chance to make the save, Jarry had to quickly power push over to the corner of the crease to get back on angle and to do that, he had to lift his right pad and get on the inner edge of his right skate blade and push across while keeping his left leg in the butterfly position and finally closing the right pad into a full butterfly as he went across ..... he actually did lift his right pad and tried to push off but for some reason his right skate gave way underneath him, thus he got no push at all (no movement at all) and it caused him to lose balance and flop which left an open net for the shooter ..... no excuse, but that is a more detailed analysis of what happened from turnover to goal on that play.
I just reviewed that last goal again, it's late and it upset me so much that I'll wait until tomorrow and I calm down some to discuss.
Then you will have to focus on your work and family rather than getting emotionally enraged over a sport.
Jarry basically quit after the turnover and curled up into the goalie equivalent of the fetal position. He made himself small by leaning over and inexplicably had his paddle down flat way before the shot. He needed to be big and get out and challenge there. That shows me that mentally he is toast.
One goalie on the ice yesterday was doing a pretty good job getting that save % on high danger scoring chances up to 80%.
I was thinking the same thing DURING last night's game and it made me sick.
I tend to agree and think he's toast mentally. His positioning has been bad all series and he seems way too tight.
It is amazing that has happened to now two goalies under this same goalie coach.
You need to do what I did this past year, started ‘snow-birding’ in Sarasota, or Tampa Bay country. World Series participant, Stanley Cup and Super Bowl Champs. The new City of Champions.
You really think our goalie played well enough to win?
A little earlier in the game, Jarry left the net to play the puck and actually fell as he tried to get back to the net.
I think Pens could've easily been up 4-2 or 5-2 at the end of regulation given the way they played and the chances they had. So, yes, Jarry played well enough for the Pens to win but I'd say Sorokin stole a game for the Isles.
