You know better than that:
First, Alfie flat out missed a Spezza pass in the high slot. It was a hard pass, but a pass that he's handled a thousand times before.
And secondly, Bylsma is dismantling Clouston in the coaching department right now. They know everything we're gonna do before we do it. Dump it? Check, they're right there on us. Try to stick handle in? They converge like a cloud of bees.
Third, they're amazing checkers and are always in passing lanes. Even when we dump it in, they don't lose position on the puck.
Fourth, their gap control is the best of any team I've seen this entire year. No room to move.
Fifth, they are double covering Spezza, then they're double covering Alfie. And it happened on the PP too - I didn't really see, but Karlsson,Cullen and Fisher must have been wide open because they were keying on Spezza and Alfie.
