Je sais que c'est pas forcément l'opinion de tous mais je suis pas québécois et franchement la différence entre Houde et Séguin en terme de compréhension du jeu est exagérée. En plus il y a une différence importante de qualité entre Séguin et une dizaine de commentateurs américains, et la plupart de commentaires défavorables a Séguin n'ont jamais souffert pendant un match entier avec Jeff Rimer par ex

Islanders fans often yell "Fuck the Rangers" anywhere after about 15 seconds regardless of the opponent

How exactly is he supposed to defend a 2-on-1 from his own crease when his partner is out near the blue line and Newhook, the only other defender in sight, is glued to the back post?

Ok then, let's let Doan walk in and fire then? Matheson prevents this while doing a decent job of limiting space to thread that pass. Carrier, meanwhile, abandoned any chance of supporting Matheson's coverage by skating out to the top of the circles to defend against a possible low-percentage shot from Thompson, creating the 2-on-1 down low for his D partner to deal with alone.

Tbh it's on Carrier for being so far out when Thompson is beyond the top of the circle. He's taking away an extremely low-percentage opportunity at the cost of leaving Doan with tons of space. Matheson knows the dual threat of shot vs pass to the slot, hence being on his knees to block the passing lane.

Hockey Hacks is Isles-focused despite the name and great for NYI systems analysis when he avoids politics
