absolutely, strict defensive systems holds offense back, but its also carrying your goaltenders

Well, that's probably true cuz I'm not huge on Elliot, but I feel like our players lose trust in his system too easily, which could be the players and the coach.

Where's my man orchard at? Interested on your opinion.

Sadness overwhelming.

We'll pull through it, but it's definitely grounding after we went through our massive win streak.

Keep in mind, we're 16-3-1 in our last 20, so no worries. However the sooner we get Shatty back, the better we are. 5 forwards on the PP just isn't cutting it, we need shattdeuces up in this bitch.

Yea but there's way more to it than that. It's one thing to lose some games, but it's another to play like Shit and have the MANY mental lapses were having, all while getting bad goaltending.

We just look lost, and if one injured player is the problem, then this team isnt gonna cut it.

also i wish we utilized stastny better, i think we should put him on the line with tarasenko and shwartz

i like lehtera, but stastny is just better and more responsible


or AT LEAST give stastny someone better to play with on his line besides berglund or porter.

jaskin is a beast and i love him, but stastny deserves someone better on that line than berglund.

Porter needs to go away, Cole makes 3 mistakes a game and somehow still plays over Lindbohm, I'm not sure why.

I say we just have set lines for the rest of the year (barring injuries obviously) and ride it out into the playoffs. Let the boys get comfortable and that's when they will flourish.

20-42-74
17-12-91
21-26-23
57-9-75

Leave 'em be, they'll find their scoring touch. They're pros.

That would be good, hitch overmanages from time to time.

I still like stastny with tarasenko more than lehtera with him. The league caught on to their drop pass.

And yes, porter tries hard, that's about all I got for him. Hes not good. And Cole has all the physical ability in the world, but 3 times a game he does something incredibly stupid. And I don't think butler is the answer to our 6th defensivemen.

Yeah, but at some point I think we've gotta just settle with our roster.
It may not be top D pairings all around, it may not be the best forwards on every line, but this team is fuckin' solid.

There's only a few very small holes that we have that'd need to be filled by coincidentally hurting our team if we were to trade for the hole to be filled.

I'm extremely satisfied and I truly believe this is the squad that delivers us to the promised land.

I hope your right, but if we want to beat Chicago, Nashville, and potentially LA, I'll take any improvements we can get.
