Honestly, I don't think so. Robertson is amazing during the regular season but when it comes to the physical and demanding needs of the playoffs, he just isn't it. He's not a very physical guy and I've never seen him check or rough with someone, not to mention the Kraken are mighty fast when they see a loose puck.
Stars need to make quicker decisions in this series. Kraken are so fast and aggressive. But I think once you quickly shift the puck, you’re trapping them behind the play. Robo can adapt, it’s time.
Pavs return to the top line, no doubt.
We need to stop being a soft team. We get pushed around to much. We haven’t been physical at all. We are a big team yet we shy away from hits. Back then if someone sprayed ice on belfour, they’d get hammered. We no response. And Robertson hasn’t been the same since that hit from Foligno.
What really needs to be highlighted is how poorly Colin Miller has been in these playoffs. I loved his offensive upside and knew it would come through at some point during the season. But 2/4 goals in the 1st came from him not handling his side of the ice while he was on the ice last night. His ineptitude in his own zone will see Hanley and/or Lundkvist playing in game 2. They immediately changed the D core up after his second goal given up and put him out there with Lindell to help cover for him instead of asking a 21-year-old with only 10 games of NHL experience in Harley to do it. His Ice time was abysmal last night because of it. I remember seeing Miro exhausted at multiple points cause he had logged 20 minutes at the end of the 2nd period.
