Have yall not made any adjustments and they did or what is going on? How did you look so good first 2 and look exactly the same, bad in the same ways, the next 3 and can't score?
Gerard Gallant in a nutshell: he has no adjustments other than:
1. Play harder, north/south, Yada, yada
2. Blend the lines
Same thing happened last year.
I believe same thing happened on every HC job he had…did go to SCF w/ Vegas- but thanks to MAF insane save %.
Devils’ coaching found a way to make it much more difficult for NYR to enter the O zone.
NYR have been unable to solve this adjustment
Not to mention that NYR have found a way to make a goalie- who was a desperation plug in for game 3- very comfortable.
Blame the players? Sure- they are the ones out there who (as times have gone bad) seem listless with no push back. But I think frustration has a lot to do with no decent plan of how to attack the Devils’ adjustments.
