GDT: Ana @ Stl 5pm

The team just doesn't look as potent lately. Every line seems to lacking something.

The top line is lacking Stewart (that's physically painful for me but it's true), the Rakell line worked far better with Maroon in transition, which is how they scored a lot of their goals, and the Kesler line just can't score this year. 4th line is pretty reliably good though.

Exactly how I see it. Though I haven't liked the 4th line, Santorelli isn't as effective on a grinder line and Thompson is clearly not up to speed.

Stewart coming back will be a plus, and I'm getting more and more anxious to see Pirri get a game in.

I think they've kinda slumped a bit around this time of year every year. Deadline's over, playoff spot is locked up, nothing at stake. This group seems to never do well when nothings at stake, so I'm not too surprised.

True, but they wasted all of that in Oct/Nov. I refuse to sit through that lackluster crap again!


Not really, I'm looking at our forward lines. Though Holzer getting the call over Theo or similar doesn't make for exciting breakouts.
 
Wake me up when this team decides to start putting in a little effort. What an embarrassment. And for whatever reason, they're back to being a "perimeter team" so this one is over.
