How convenient that you cherry pick. The roster at the start of the season was much better than what Hitchcock had, And THEY STILL PLAYED LIKE GARBAGE, Injuries that recently happened (klingberg has missed 2 games, and who knows how long for shore if any) don't deteriorate the overall quality of the roster as it is. Temporarily sure it is worse, but it is not as if Hitch didn't have Injuries or a severely garbage Spezza to deal with eitherWe don't have Shore for probably a while and are playing 2 AHL defenseman who don't look ready for this. Pateryn and Hamhuis are NHL players . Our third pairing is not.
We also don't have Klingberg for a while.
Heiskanen replaced Klingberg and Pateyn, Hamhuis got replaced with Hanley,Gleason. Honka doesn't look any better than last year.
Comeau > Roussell
seems like a wash to me . Roussel was more productive but also took dumber penalties.
The only thing truely better right now is goaltending.

no they didn't. they were getting outplayed by everyone, except Anahiem. If you count starting well as having anaheim early in the season sure, but they have literally been outplayed in 15 of 17 games (soon to be 16 of 18)They actually started out pretty well.
I wouldn’t mind the Stars losing if they didn’t look so bad doing it. Maybe they’ll score a quick cluster of goals...

Eh, Jackets have been taking their shots at the Stars in both games (Dubious, Anderson, Jones, even Atkinson on a blatant interference on Heiskanen last game). I have no problem with him running their players to keep them in line.Jamie Benn need's to remember at least a little that he's there for scoring goal to.. Not just hitting Seth Jones
Go re-watch the games. Also the Leafs walked all over us in both games.You did watch that Jets game ? In the Yotes game they also weren't outplayed. The Leafs game was pretty even IRC

I'm not convinced Nichushkin could hit the glass with a shot if he tried.
