Is Pete trying to send a message by playing the 4th line so much while trailing by 2 goals in the 3rd period, or is Pete just being Pete?

Both...he's playing guys who actually give a ****. But he's also playing guys with very little chance of actually getting us back in the game, except in his own mind.

That was great. Chico said we need two quick ones and Volch Harrold and Gionta are all coasting on the ice.

A) He wasnt directly behind him.......at all..... not even close.

B) Yes you can. Obviously. Happens dozens of times per game. You do it when there's absolutely no offensive player near the player you're passing to. Just like that time.

I don't think you've ever played hockey. passing from behind your own net across the front of your own net is a terrible no good bad idea

"ya know"
"same 6"
"best 20 guys to win"
"finding a way to win"
"veterans who know how to win"
"blah blah blah"

Devils have threatened maybe 4 times in this game. This is another Macleanian fart. Pete loves his "jam" players. He should be a GM 20 years ago.

I dont think you've even seen the goal being discussed. He wasnt anywhere near "behind" his own net.

Given how bad THEY are I don't know if it bought him ten. Maybe three...I could see a change being made after the Boston game with only one game the next six days, time to implement a new system and all that.

There at the point where they need to do something just for the sake of change. 10-44 in there last 54 after tonight. That is completely indefensible. Whatever system and message that Pete was preaching have obviously gone down the toilet. Assuming they lose the next 2 then I really don't think Lou has a choice but to switch things up.

I feel pretty confident in saying every division 1 college team can shoot the puck better than this team from the point

Travis just isn't the same anymore. We have a bunch of meh players outside of Cory. We all talked ourselves into thinking it was "balance" and "4 2nd lines" but it looks like we have 3 third lines and one 4th line that plays as our top line.
