And who are Roy's go-to players? Pageau who can't kill a penalty, Cizikas who can't kill a penalty. MacLean who was swimming in his skates with them, and Pageau-Palmieri who are out at 3/3 in overtime who when they lose the puck it's game over. And Dobson gets no mercy, his turnovers continue from last season, and they are awful game changers.

Spare me Pageau scored, he was dominated the entire game, Holmstrom made the work for his fluke goal, it's a miracle he got enough on his backhand for it to find the net. 21-44-53 they get one goal and give back two.

They have to phase these players out of key roles, it's bad for Holmstrom, Lee, Wahlstrom before he's scape-goated. No law Palmieri or Pageau can play overtime when Barzal-Horvat-Tsyplakov-Duclair-Nelson-Lee-Wahlstrom should be the only forwards out in overtime.
