Hellson does appear to be a player who just needs more structure to thrive. He looks much better in NHL games than AHL, and that is a not-insignificant point in cronin's favor (it's two games, so I should relax).

It looks like the coaching staff is making some adjustments, at least.

As good as that win felt advanced stats favored the stars pretty strongly by the end…. Thank you posts and lord dostwal
Eh it's a road win. That was the first Stars loss on home ice this season.

I am very happy with the effort. Even if they lost that game, I wouldn't have been that upset.

Glad he’s looked good in the nhl, always liked him as a player (even prior to trade)

I feel like Leo’s had a lot of games like this. He’s playing low-event hockey. I think he’s been fine this year but there is very slight undertone of being underwhelmed that I feel.

Leo’s playing well, but I feel he has not kicked in that extra gear like we saw at times last season. I think that’s why his production has not been better. Also, hitting several posts is not going to help either.

I just wish he’d get on the inside a little more. He doesn’t seem to be retrieving the puck very often either. He’s just very perimeter-oriented right now

We’re still a bit light on talent to spread around to zegras/terry and carlsson up front

Vatrano and killorn kinda suck
Strome is hit or miss
Gauthier still trying to find his stride(been solid)
Mctavish injured
Leason more of a bottom 6 guy

We need to upgrade Vatrano…. I’d love a guy like buchnevic

So you’re saying Cronin just hasn’t had time to figure out how to wreck his game yet? That would be my take.

Flames fan here, can I get a short breakdown why Anaheim can't score goals? I've seen some say the coaching/system, but with all the (young) talent I thought they'd put up more goals than they are.

Take smaller, high skill players. Make them dump and chase. Mix in slow veterans. Add a dash of passive man to man defense that runs them ragged. Top off with a coach that doesn’t seem to change what the team is doing during a game to counter what the team is doing.
