It was a set play off the faceoff and Martinook was supposed to roll back and pick up that pass. The replay doesn't show whether Marty jumped into the circle or if he just got caught up in the wash and never got to the spot. The replay didn't show where #48 went, but you can clearly see Burns yell at Martinook (which is a pretty fugging rare occasion) after the play. A pretty obvious miscommunication.

That is why I posted--I want to learn more about the game on the next level.  I was getting upset (watching the game) and directed my anger towards Burns a few times.  Last night, Blake tried to clear the zone and failed, leading to a Columbus goal.  However, it was my (Naive) impression that Burns put Blake in a bad situation by mishandling the puck right before it--Again, trying to understand the nuances and not afraid to ask--thanks for the detailed response.

Pucks are mishandled a lot, especially late in periods when the ice is a mess. Pucks roll, bounce, change direction and younger players have less difficulty with their quicker reflexes and feaction time.

You have the opportunity, as a Canes fan, to watch one of the elite defenseman in Jaccob Slavin. He's not physical and he's not aggressive. An exceptional skater and stick-handler, he puts himself in advantageous positions and his ability to disrupt almost seems effortless.

Slavin cranks up the physicality in the Playoffs though I loved game 7 agaist the bruins a few years back when he put Marchand into the bench about 30 feet from me.

No question. He's made a couple big hits this season as well. He doesn't make it a routine part of his game.
