And can't recover.

Can't recover.

You saw the last game.

There were two of them.

And one was right off the end wall.

Can't get back to your post.

So the issue that he's having in the series that the biggest challenge for him is being able to play between his posts, but he's really got to get back to playing at the top of his crease with his toes rather than his heels.

A difference of six inches is a world of difference for a goalie to find the middle of the net.

Carolina has more of the clear-sighted shots and less of the broken plays, but they have more of the puck recoveries.

They're always at the top of the list at recovering off of their scoring chances.

Because in most cases, Borny, it's like you saying to your winger or your centerman, when you're off to the sidewall like that, just throw it off blocker and I'm going to go recover it in the left corner because I know it's going there.

Yeah.

I mean, that's the advantage of shooting off a goalie's blocker.

You're always going to be first if you know it's going there.

And it's not an attempt to score.

Like, I had some great games against Carolina, too, Borny.

I want to say that they've been playing this way, this storm type of offense, I mean, for 20 years.

You'd go into Carolina, and I'd really appreciate...

all of the shots on goal there were also times though where they'd be on their third puck recovery and you're getting pretty tired because you're defending right in in your d zone and then seams are opening up and i think over the last couple years they've gotten better at hitting an east to west pass after they exhaust you to a certain degree they're doing a better job of that for sure

What do you think about tonight?
