ayrt I HATE MATT CARLE. Stralman is usually better but him playing weak really exposes how much of the defense is just him and Hedman (who also seems off) so when none of it's clicking the holes (Matt Carle) are much more apparent. At this point, assuming we get eliminated, I'll be mad if Yzerman DOESN'T do something to shore up the defense. Plz Stevie Y, Plz.
I think their current strategy with Vasilevskiy is to let him develop into his own and not try to make him copy Bishop too much, because he doesn't do it well. Which makes sense, but apparently nobody bothered to tell the defense that!!
And as for Bishop, idk. I kind of think no because he played hurt in the SCF last year and we all know how that went (like this!). He would really have to be at 100%. Vasilevskiy isn't the issue here, and I think Cooper knows that.
