Everyone plays their absolute best against us. Tough sledding. Scoring is definitely a problem because even though we are good defensively, we don’t ever give ourselves room to breathe by not scoring.
 
Lindell line is overdue for a change

They’ve been shit since February

Samoskevich is good against bad teams. He isn’t ready for a grind


Bottom pair sucks

Jones is not a good defender at all

2nd PP goal against literally off his foot, he needs to play that better

3rd goal against he was covering oxygen

empty net goal he takes a dumb shot as last man up. Just horrid
 
Sloppy game. Need a forward line shuffle I think.

Marchand-Barkov-Reinhart
Verhaeghe-Bennett-Samoskevich
Lustorainen-Lundell-Rodrigues
Greer-Sturm-Boqvist

Defense needs to get healthy/off PEDs
 
I’m not gonna lie…I’m starting to get a little bit concerned.

I don’t think we looked that bad at the end of the season last year.

And we went 6-3-1 in the last 10 games with a 4 games winning streak.

I really don’t feel it for this year. Things could get very ugly if we play Tampa. And I’m not feeling any better about Toronto.

Lmao. If this team plays to their capabilities that’s going to be a slaughter.

Nobody in playoffs is an easy opponent. If you don’t have what it takes to go far, losing in first round versus second round doesn’t matter that much. Actually, if you’re gonna lose in round one or two, might as well go out sooner and get a longer rest.

I suspect they don’t care about the opponent that much. They’re not playing for position to barely get out of round one. They’re planning how to get to the finals and win it again.

Unless people believe that you can both crush your opponents the last 15-20 games of the regular season and then continue to crush them in 25-28 games in the playoffs, then people need to choose which one you go for more than the other. I’m now convinced they’re going for playoff energy rather than regular season position.
 
The difference between this year and last year is the same lineup was playing before they started slumping last season. It was mental, but they had played at a high level before. This lineup specifically started slumping when the lineup changed. This lineup hasn't proved it is at a certain level. By the time they get back to the lineup that's played at a high level, it might be too late.
 
They definitely haven't looked as good this year but the East is terrible. Tampa looks great right now but there are no scary teams. Kuli, Ekblad, and Chucky will be huge adds (assuming he comes back). The D core is so dead it's hard to put any stock in anything.
