GDT: Final Game Before the Break | NYR @ CBJ | 7 PM EST

[spintheblackcircle]

Only 1 point from LDBB the last 6 games, he's been really poor.

And as much love that Olivier earned early, he has to score goals given the ice time he gets. No goals since January 4th and only 3 points in his last 22 games. He has to do more

I think you're right on both points, but they're both only getting minutes due to injury.

When fully healthy Olivier is on the 4th line and Luca's in Cleveland.

Very true, but that does't prevent many from saying that Sillinger has to do more on the 1st or 2nd line when he should be on the 3rd line.

Outshot 17-4 in the third by a team that played a game the day before, inexcusable.

Fantilli with 27 minutes of ice time

Ok? So you find the Sillinger criticism valid? Why else have the same criticism of Olivier or Luca?

It’s not wrong that DBB has tapered off, looking overwhelmed at times. He has given a good accounting of himself and hopefully he can return to his previously intended schedule, which means a big-minutes role in Cleveland.

I do. I don’t think any of those three are being asked to do too much outside their regular role. They’re each about one line higher than they should be, IMO

1 line higher can be a significant role change. We are constantly asking players to work above their level so of course it's going to show the ugly side of that at times. Not many teams would handle their 1C, 1W, 1RD, 2 top 6/9 W (as Evason intended to use them) very well

Something interesting is that LDBB is still playing C, while Sillinger plays W.
