In NHL 10 the slap pass is a very effective way to score goals.

If not, then I apologize. But someone gave a weak blind pass attempt that led to the pass to Smid.

Was he not the one who gave the puck away on the blind pass at the blueline?

by LilEagle on Dec 5, 2009 3:21 PM CST up reply actions  

No.

The puck was chipped of his stick in a scrum… but there were a couple of Stars there that didn’t help.

but at least James Neal seems like he’s back on track. Benn is looking good too. We just have to learn that we need to sustain the attack for a full 60 minutes. Playing “not to lose” usually winds up in losing.

Most owners love it as well… Because for all the bad the extra point does, the one thing good it does is keep the playoff races tight… And tight playoff races for the 10th, 11th, 12th and even 13th place teams means more money at the box office from fans who haven’t lost interest.

I caught grief from some of our readers for suggesting Neal needs to either find another move, or Crawford needs to find another player to fill his spot in the shootout.
