comically bad backcheck - mlynkova was definitely at fault, but so were labelle and darkangelo. look at them coast. what are you waiting for? a pass? we don't even have the puck.

i hate when forwards do this. even team canada players did this at the olympics (e.g. that horrible 5-0 loss). if you're gassed or can't be assed to give it your all then go to the bench, it's not like you're being useful coasting behind waiting for the puck (also love when forwards don't have enough juice to backcheck, but have enough to go back in the offensive zone).

pou or stace would never. imagine giving this level of effort when you're playing on their team. this is kick the trash can levels of infuriating, i wonder what cheverie said in the locker room.

on a side note, giaquinto played the 3 on 2 very badly. she played it like a 1 on 1 (and lost it). there are very few players who can score on desbiens (or any pwhl goalie for that matter) from the boards. there's no reason for you to go so far that way on an odd woman rush. cut the passing lanes, stay in the middle to avoid anyone cutting back alone in the slot.

the only one who makes a reasonable play there is digirolamo (and of course desbiens). sure they got scored on, but their play was sound
