GDT: G15: Wild @ Blackhawks | 6PM

[57special]

I found it annoying how Carter kept finding positives about the team, then used the tiredness card to explain that absolutely atrocious performance. Lost a lot of credibility, for me.

We played three crap teams. If we can't take of them while fully healthy, how are we going to do in a playoff series, when everyone is hurting, and there will probably be 2-3 players out of the lineup due to injury.

I don't think the line shake up had anything to do with one player getting rewarded or not. The whole team played really really dysfunctional hockey through two periods. Hynes wanted a spark and he got it by completely switching around everything.

What is irritating though is that whenever he does that Rossi will be on his way down the lineup. He wasn't particularily bad or worse than say Zuccarello or Mojo or even Ek but still he got put on the third line (where he played well) and he lost his OT spot with Boldy. If you want to look at it in a positive way you could say it is because he is so versatile that he can be put on the third line and make them better. I still very much think though that the organization and by extension the coach do not trust in his ability to help the club. See the takeaways from Russo where he states Hynes wants more consistency out of Rossi. He gets scrutinized way harder than a veteran player even though he shows clear improvement in only his second year in the league.

I think this is all 100% true

Meh. Crap teams yes, but we went 2-0-1. Crap teams will win occasionally and Mrazek played really well yesterday. It's fine.

The Devils were shutout yesterday at home.......to the Sharks.

Yep.

Even the simplest "can't lose" games can easily be lost.

NHL is an extremely tightly contested league, too, but it happens from time to time. We sucked, they didn't suck as much. Couple days off is not a bad thing right now, and if we keep going 2-0-1 vs. bad teams as Soldier mentioned, that's still 5p out of possible 6. I'll take that.
