I'll take my hit on Coop, for now, but you were the one who said the team just isn't good enough. You said it over and over again. I was the one arguing that the roster was better than were playing and that we were underachieving and it looks like I was right so I suggest you think before you speak.
Why are people not being burned alive or killed in the street in Tokyo?
Part of it is the competition. I believe it was @Rschmitz who pointed out how tough our early schedule was. Now it's evening out and we have played a string of bad teams. And for the most part we have treated them like bad teams.
The bottom six still sucks. Girgensons has 0 goals in 30 something games. We have a warm body in it. It's not good enough for playoffs and I stand by it. Vasy has been Vasy, the defense has gotten its head out of its ass, and the top six is rolling. You propose this false dichotomy with a surface level approach and simply double down that you're right when you were laughably wrong.
I'm with you that currently it's a moment of neutralizing the opponent, but come playoff time I don't think it's up to par. When the 4th can't be counted on as depth, thats difficult. The third line really is a mash up of whoever but I'd like to see someone legit with Paul and Chaffee as well. Ideally a bottom size winger with size and speed.
Ah forgot about him. Haha I actually checked Hyman and forgot RNH.

It's actually hilarious. Not to mention, you and one other person were beating that drum and you haven't surfaced since Thanksgiving. Yet, everybody here wants to add to the bottom six because they see the deficiencies. But yes, keep telling yourself you're right.
When you have Girgensons (Buf), Geekie, Goncalves, Eyssimont and someone like Atkinson as 3 or 4 regulars in your bottom six, yes, it's gonna be a struggle. No shade on the rookies, but there's the huge unknown of how they'd do. There's just too much that's known of the bottom six to be underwhelming along with a looming quantity of whats unknown by guys who will get 10-15mins a night come playoffs. Acquiring a middle six, or at the very least a bottom six winger that's ACTUAL NHL material would help - a lot.
Yeah it went from Point’s stick to their defender and then off Guentzel’s leg into the net.
