interestingly enough....it was such during the whole game.
Maybe a symptom of his teammates expecting too much from him and not enough individual effort. They are proving to themselves that they can score if they just get back down to basics. Passing, shooting, skating. It’s not like Barzal’s playing on every line for 60 minutes. We need him some to come through at pivotal times during a game but he shouldn’t shoulder the entire offensive load.

Didn’t catch game, but not surprised they played better without Barzal. Barzal is a tough guy to play with since he likes to have the puck all the time and if you do nothing but skate around looking for the perfect play,the end result is great possession numbers but zero goals.

McLean piloting the helicopter line.

JGP will have his best game of the season.

Isles win 4-1.
McLean was, JGP definitely did. Should have been 4-1. Not bad.

Dobson on the ice for all 3 against? He is not good net front and so slow to move the puck below the goaline.

Tsyplakov looked almost dominant as did Lee.

Horvat is a better player than Barzal. Perhaps he should be driving the offense.

Out of all the centers playing wing, JGP is the best suited and played there in the past. Hopefully Roy sees that.

Would be kind of interesting to see Barzal center Duclair and either Holmstrom or Engvall.

I was wondering if Wahlstrom figured out that fighting Greenway might be the type of thing that could keep him om the line-up?

At point it looked like all 3 left side D might be gone. Good to see Romanov back.

Did Fasching come back after taking one in his giant teeth? He really sucks. Would have been better off dressing 11/7 anyway.

Officiating so poor in this game.

From the condensed game they looked better on both the PP and 5 on 5 without Barzal.
Bombs away on the PP.
