Forgot it was hockey season it's been so long since we had a game. Hopefully they watched some tape and figured out how not to play like hot garbage like most of their post 5-0-0 swing. We're well rested, lets kick some @$$! I hate the "we're rusty" excuses after 2+ days off or "we're tired" after back-to-backs, it's the NHL, professinal sports, you're never going to get games staggered at your ideal 2-3 days. The best teams aren't held back by that, and thusly, NEITHER SHOULD WE...WE NEED VENGEANCE ON THE CALIFORNIA TRIP!

What’s up with Nino niedereiter ? I was surprise to see is stats but only caught one game of the canes vs MTL. Is he playing bad or pts are just
Not coming in?

I've seen him make some pretty nice backchecks to steal the puck and save some goals but his timing has been off in tight where he does most of his damage. He also has been losing 50/50 battles on the boards he usually wins so not sure what's up there.

I'm wondering if the team playing so many games early was rough because a few guys didn't look in game shape which would make sense how they looked so fast and dangerous in the first 5 games then petered out.

Aho honestly looks like he has mono and has been surprisingly weak along the boards which doesn't help Nino....that line had a nasty cycle last year but if they are all this weak on the boards their zone time has been too little and they aren't breaking down the coverage as well.

Tldr Aho and Nino need to be stronger on the boards then the offense will come.
