Going to be a tough call for Chevy at the deadline. The team is really clicking and playing for each other. Do you want to bring in a big piece and potentially disrupt that? Id prefer just solid depth pieces that can step in if needed at this point.
The Jets top line was out for over a minute and drew the 1st pp. That was why the second unit started. They were also out for a bit before the second pp.
Agree at this point.
Given how well they've played this season, and given the profound technical and emotional efforts to overcome occasional poor games and slumps all season long, and the attention to detail in direct, itemized response to the failures of last year's PO stagger -- ya gotta dance with the ones what bring ya.
I also suspect that the whole "The Playoffs are Another Season!!!" narrative may be a bit overblown, especially for a group who during decent swatches of this season played an almost-playoff schedule.
They needed Monohan, or someone like him, last year. He helped, until the playoffs.
This year we've already seen an impressive Lowry/ Ehlers second line deployed. Perhaps another talented digger who can slot in as a versatile support piece should outweigh a big splash that has the potential to damage a very closeknit room. Lambert and Ford as black aces, Chibby unlikely, some nice possible reinforcements there also,
I'd almost say the same on D -- but we already have Heinola and Coughlan and maybe even Salmo in the wings so who knows?
An ideal result for the season would be a banner or two, a Cup and another few trophies and a nice slate of picks in the draft.
Less ideal would be spending big on yet another player who doesn't want to be here and underachieves at the expense of the team. That group, I'd bet, isn't bound for the Cup.
Nice, solid win over a veery good team. That's Caps and Canes in short order. Next up, Vegarse.
Like saying that wasn't Carolina's best game by a mile, maybe that is their best game against this team. I know you didn't say that bye the way but another poster just did.
