It's not McLellan's fault Matt Roy puts pucks in his own net and falls down, in key battles....nor that Quick overplays angles and slides 2 feet out of position and has lost his game completely. Or that Kempe is
not a # 2 NHL center.
Honestly, he has Kopitar, Toffoli, and even Carter and Kovalchuk playing better - but it's not enough. The first period of the Flames game, they had it and looked awesome.
Speaking of Kempe not producing, Iafallo has not been producing either. It's time to put Alex on line 2. Line 2 is a mess. Make Amadio center - he's been awesome and
Lewis and Clifford are not the best finishers - but they are playing very well. I say make line 2: Iafallo / Amadio / Kovalchuk. Maybe put Brown LW and put Toffoli
back at RW 1. Line 3 Kempe Lizotte Carter ? Grundstrom looked pretty good and should be playing. Maybe he could play with Clifford and Lewis. Wagner? I don't know.
It may be best to send Bjornfot to Sweden and keep him away from this mess. He's looked good and he's also looked like he needs another year.
Mikey Anderson may actually be more ready than Tobias right now. Hard to believe Hutton has been decent and would really be bad without him.
