Ha… this team never even makes it to the shootout. Worst team in OT I’ve ever watched.

Is it just me or has Marchy really heated up the last several games?

Pretty much. As much as we have complained the current top line with Forsberg, Stamkos and Marchessault is probably the best looking line we've had all season. That ain't saying much but its something.
Yeah RoR has been pretty meh this season. I hate stacking all the main goalscorers on 1 line though but it may be fooling goalies. Seeing forsberg coming at you and expecting shot only for him to dish it to march is gonna throw em off.

Overall the forward combinations have been doin better. I think the defense also does better when it is more defense focused and not going out of its way trying to create offense (josi) or stack up hits being "hard to play against" (schenn/lauzon).

Haven't all of the forwards looked better with Josi out of the lineup?
Josi, Lauzon, and Carrier have all been out at the same time. Which has been nice, since we don't have as much forwards trying to defend and defenseman playing down at the goal line in the offensive zone. Who knew a little more structure might be good? That's right. We all did.

PS: But not that guy who's been "really good" behind the bench.

Yep who new if youd just let your forwards do forward things and not have to act like defenders because your defense is down at the net that the forwards would start performing. I cant wait till josi gets back and the wheels fly off again.

Now we have Barron to do forward things and "oh, well" it on the defensive side to add to the mix.

He made his announcement about being unhappy with the way the coach is mismanaging the players and is now wracking up points - pretty clear he regrets coming here and is trying to get on some radars.

Hey, if he keeps putting up goals then he could actually net a decent return.

He's up to a 50P pace on an offensively starved team. That's gonna draw attention of GMs thinking if they put him on a better offensive team he can be even better.

We can only hope.
