But this was not the lineup that got us 110 points. This closer to the lineup that went nearly 500 for the back half of the season and then got destroyed in the first round.
This is super confusing to me.
At game 45, we were 30-10-4
Players out:
Dillon, Schmidt (who wasn't really playing), Brossoit (who's impact as a bu with Hellebuyck is minimal)
Fjallby & Toninato
Players in:
Miller, Anderson Dolan, Gustafsson, Kakhonen.
The only significant player who is gone from the roster that was leading the league in GA and challenging for 1OA in the league is Dillon. We replaced him with Miller, while not as good or physical as Dillon is very competent, has more offensive ability and causes less problems for pairings by being a RD.
Additionally, if Heinola could ever get healthy we could have him in the lineup and according so some around here he's the second coming of Bobby Orr.
So, explain how this isn't the same roster that was super successful last year?
Keep in mind, we were without Vilardi and Connor for chunks of that time.
