God yes. It was terrible.
Arkhipov was absolutely horrible tonight. Honestly, if you really watch the guy for his mistakes, you see one every single shift. Tonight, I decided to follow him very closely, and aside from crashing the net on one play (set up by his linemates) he did NOTHING. To make matters worse, Trotz put him out on the PP! WHY!!!!!!! He tried to skate the puck in with 3 guys standing him up on the blue line. Then, when he does have the puck in the zone, he lets the defensemen close down not just one passing lane, but two lanes, then forces him all the way out into the zone. The guy is absolutely clueless out there. His skills seem to almost have completely regressed..........reminds me alot of the Avalanche's Martin Skoula
.
Despite my criticisms, I really enjoyed the game. It took a little long for them to call the 2nd goal, a goal, but it was worth the wait
. Too bad for the 3rd goal, but from my angle in the stands, it looked like Scottie took a big swipe at it with his glove. I'm not sure where the puck hit, but if it was off the hand, it was a good call.
