Boeser, Miller, and Petey didn't show up today. It killed the PP, and they were abysmal at even strength given the quality of opposition. Debrusk was a bit better, but he's not the guy to carry it on his own. Petey just has zero desire to carry the puck on his own or take the shot, being way too defferential - reminds me of Naslund post lockout. Not sure what's going to get him out of this rut at this point.
Sprong has no hockey sense, offensively or defensively. Needs out of the top 6 until he learns the system better (if that's possible). Might be time to move Suter onto the top unit, Heinen with Debrusk and Petey,
Bottom 6 was great. Defense held up admirably given Myers went down early. Goaltending was fantastic. Forbort got better after the 1st. Overall defensive structure as a team was miles better than Wednesday.
Not worried yet overall, but Tocchet has his work cut out for him to get the team back into the mentality of every shift counts. This should've been an easy 4 points to start the year.
