Take the Rico initiative. It's worked with Rico for Z. Why not Fabbri for Carlsson?

Verbeek and Cronin can frame this one with the rest of the 1 goal losses from last year that they like to brag about

Killorn is a real problem. Not sure what to do with him.
Killorn has a 100% guaranteed contract with a full NT for 2 years and Modified NT for the last 2 years.
Has to be one of the worst contracts.

Didn't pick up on all last season. Expect the same this season.
His speed was really noticeable tonight, he was decently quick last year but he's moving even faster now. I know he had the hat trick game and everything last year but honestly i think tonight might have been his best game yet.
I am curious to see how Leo and Z would look together, Z is one of the few guys we have who can process the game at a similar level
Ducks played hard after that bad 1st period but they need to get more offense outside of Leo and Terry.
That Leo play and Zell goal I literally cheered and people turning their heads like WTF? lol
Major issues with Killorn and some of the other vets. They need to get going.

No chance…. He’s inept and a dumbass.
I really liked them together early last season. They would connect with nice little passes in the neutral zone during transition and I agree that they think the game similarly when it comes to offense. It becomes a question of who you drop off Leo's line?

I've liked Fabbri with him, i think if you move Z to be with Leo you still need Fabbri's tenacity on the forecheck and hunting pucks. So i guess Gauthier.

Gauthier. He’s been mediocre to invisible to bad outside of one game.
Yeah I was thinking Gauthier too. It will be interesting since then it becomes the line from earlier this season, just swapping MacT and Leo haha.

Fire Greg Cronin!
Don't worry.. a 60 minute psychology analysis will improve the team before he bag skates them
The Ducks just didn't play hard, they played a good 2nd and 3rd period. Just got screwed by the refs by giving the Rags the soccer goal. Should've went to OT at least.

We need a Cronin bingo card. Chalks this one up next to 'we weren't skating hard enough'

McTavish was the biggest problem on that line, and Gauthier isn't ready for the top line just yet. Just put Gauthier, McTavish, and Killorn together so they don't mess up other lines.

They should sit killorn 1 game and put zegras with Carlson and fabbri.
I’ve liked strome and and vatrano with terry so the. You put the 3 dummies on the 3rd line.
Mact killorn and gauthier and tell them show me or I play the 4th line over you.
Lundy with leason and Mcginn can play minutes.

I'm totally ok with this game.
They played hard. They were really competitive with one of the best teams in the league on the road. I know they only got one goal, but they were good on the power play, they generated some decent chances, and it was entertaining. Some specific thoughts:
They played hard. They were really competitive with one of the best teams in the league on the road. I know they only got one goal, but they were good on the power play, they generated some decent chances, and it was entertaining. Some specific thoughts:
- The Ducks don't have a Panarin or a Fox, both true superstars. Carlsson was incredible and can get to the level of Panarin, but they don't really have a d-man who projects to be as good as Fox. Hopefully Mintyukov can get there.
- Killorn is awful. I don't know what the solution to that particular problem is, but I'd rather see Colangelo, Regenda, or Nesterenko in the lineup. Not once this season have I said, "Nice play by Killorn." He's a turnover machine.
- They certainly got better as the game went on, but their breakout is still ineffective. Way too many turnovers trying to get the puck out of the zone. They just can't seem to connect with each other in a cohesive way. I feel like that's coaching.
- Zegras was better this game, but they need him to be dynamic. He needs to make plays and he's just not.
- This was McTavish's best game of the season. He still committed a really stupid penalty.
