Hate is strong, but I do agree he seems like he's coasting and being lazy at times, I don't love his compete. I wonder if Bergy kept him more engagedI don't know what it is but I really hate the way Pastrnak is playing this season.
It has to be. He’s hesitant to shoot.I refuse to believe that injury isn’t still there bothering him at this point. Yikes.
It was low blocker. He was gobbling those up the last two years.Replay I just saw of Raymond’s one-timer suggests there’s no way Swayman could track and react to that shot in time. He looks good to me tonight — for the first time this season.
Yep, he saw it all the way. He was too deep and not set, so slow to react. It's a save he easily makes last year and one he should have made tonight.It was low blocker. He was gobbling those up the last two years.
From 13’ out on a vicious one-timer far-side and barely off the ice?It was low blocker. He was gobbling those up the last two years.
I'm not sure what NESN showed, but the Wings broadcast showed he saw it all the wayFrom 13’ out on a vicious one-timer far-side and barely off the ice?
The lack of possession issues are still there, but what are they’re shots attempted? I feel like they’re at least attempting to shoot. That Geekie shot off the post a couple of minutes ago would have not happened previously.9 SOG half-way through the game is a reversion and not encouraging
He seems completely out of sync. Not sure if he’s thinking too much or hurt but he’s a shell of himself.Pasta looks like hesitant ass.
Its interesting -- is there a place or site I can go to to see shots attempted? Not being snarky here at all -- just the opposite -- I'm curiousThe lack of possession issues are still there, but what are they’re shots attempted? I feel like they’re at least attempting to shoot.

I think he’s playing through something and it’s probably in his head.Pasta looks like hesitant ass.
The effort is back it seems. The lack of skill is still there but at least they’re trying.Is the PK back? Its been effective vs a top-tier PP
I agree -- there does seem to be more concerted effort. And that is good newsThe effort is back it seems. The lack of skill is still there but at least they’re trying.
I have a question for you -- it looks to me that teams are targeting the right side of Sway -- both up and down. Are you seeing that as well? is that the emerging book on him now? I recall last year it was rebounds and the glove is why I am asking. He seems to have fixed the latter two. So maybe all thats left is the right side?oh Pasta
An update on this -- I was looking around for an "attempted shot" stat and although I have yet to find that it stands to reason that a cousin stat would be "shots blocked" -- which is available on any box score of the game.The lack of possession issues are still there, but what are they’re shots attempted?

I honestly haven't noticed, but that's more not really paying attention to that. For the most part when goalies aren't on their game and start cheating a bit it's usually the other way, opening up too much space on the glove side. However, Sway is such a technically sound goalie when he is right I could see him more focused on the near side, post to post, and it's usually easier to beat blocker side. Wouldn't surprise me if the playbook right now is to try and come at him from his left, get him on that post and go far. Now that you have me thinking about it he has given up a couple goals just like that. I think you're on to something, but can't be completely sure. I'll watch that more closelyI have a question for you -- it looks to me that teams are targeting the right side of Sway -- both up and down.
