This is a bad hockey team.
I think they'll make the playoffs but they don't have enough talent to go all the way.

I get uneasy when our goalie has to be our best player. Very tough on the nerves.

Cannot let Minn back in the game. Stay out of the box but be aggressive.

He's gonna go through rough patches this season too, brace yourself for those.

I don’t know why he can’t play there. Be the Oshie/guenztel in the high slot

I mean, that was his plan though. Cheap deal on a good team, have a good year and then get that multi-year contract this summer somewhere when the cap increases.
Who would investigate? It's obvious there's game management, especially lately.
That's like saying Vince McMahon should be investigated.
Even so, I don't think Halak had 8 consecutive periods as good as Quick all season last year.

He really has been fantastic. I hated the signing, because I wanted a less risky backup and thought Quick was basically washed. Happy to eat crow if we're actually getting a guy who we can comfortably lean on when Shesty is out.
dangelo is a lot more dynamic than fox. fox is just so smart, initially they struggled without tony, he was phenomenal skating the puck up ice and gaining the line with possession. without him the biggest struggle the pp has had is actually gaining the zone and getting set up. fox is elite at qb'ing the pp obviously, and he has some great entries at times, tony was really good here at that...and we've had stretches since where the pp has been horrific at it.
will say this year the pp has really looked a lot better in almost all areas. they've been competent for the most part at gaining the zone, much better than the last couple years for sure. mika/fox/panarin have been moving a lot more around the top which causes a lot more coverage issues. the biggest thing though has been their awareness of mixing up the shots they take. panarin his been actively shooting so pk'ers are forced to respect it, which actually opens up the cross ice passes he loves, fox has been smart about mixing in some shots and very active roving all over the zone at times etc. the last few years they tended to really default to the same looks over and over so teams were often prepared and could jump them. the unpredictability this year has opened so much ice for them. love what peca has brought...i mean it wasn't rocket science that they had a bunch of ways to threaten and that they needed to force teams to respect all of them, but he's got them listening and executing in a way prior coaches haven't.
