Man can we not just tell Juulsen to be a little more conservative with hits. His only glaring mistake was taking himself out of position on the open ice hit. Cole is basically giving the other team a goal a game with mistakes made. Give Cole a game or two off and let him get better! There’s no drop off between him and Juulsen right now!
Highlighting Cole right now and all the mistakes that period. Just before his penalty has a chance to keep the puck in but bails on the backhand at the line and tries to go forehand just letting the puck go right by him!
Sign Joshua, Zadarov, Lindholm and Hronek! To make it all work you trade away Mikheyev and start working some Vegas LTIR magic with holding some players out to make it all work!
Too bad it wasn’t Cole with the cross check on Mcbaby . Tough break for Soucy and maybe he has a case for it to be a lower number. He was going to cross check him in the chest but Zadarov cross checked McDavid in the back a half second earlier having McDavids head go lower and it was too late to stop.
Cole also deflected the Ceci goal. Just a bundle of mistakes but the Canucks still won! I don’t expect Cole to make as many mistakes next game which will make it harder for Edmonton!
I’m thinking as much as I want to try and roll 3 good lines we might have to go with 2 great lines and 2 bottom 6 lines.

Suter missed a lot of great chances in the Nashville series! Find it hard to believe Pettersson would miss that many opportunities if he was in that spot.
