The 60 goal season was an outlier.Mcdavid is literal shit to start this year.
Hyman and nuge should be on the 4th lineKnob should try this:
Skinner-McDavid-Hyman
Nuge-Drai-Arvidson
Wasn’t even deflected that much. That was a very quick move by Forsberg to just barely touch the puck going by him. Bigger offense was we had a chance to take possession and our high priced D just let someone behind him make 2 stick plays on him to turn him into a pylonI like Stecher but hes never gonna be able to defend against Forsberg (and players of his ilk) at the net front.
Thats why he belongs on the 3rd pair.
It really seems like they think they can save themselves for the playoffs or some stupid shitWeird to see the McDavid line having to defend this year. Absolute beat elite o-zone time driver last year and a black hole this season with more defending in own zone and so many blown coverages in so doing. Team malaise is with this team's elites.
McDavid needs a Sports Psych. Too much weighing on his brains these days.
If they are counting on another double digit win streak, they are flirting with danger. Stupid to come out this slow two years in a rowFollowing the script from last year
Expect an L tonight
Lol, the several 100+ pt seasons suggest he produces. Team looks disjointed, everyone.The 60 goal season was an outlier.
Honestly I felt like this was his issue in the playoffs as well. Instead of imposing his dominance he's just waiting for other guys to step up.
Mcdavid and Draisaitl being as good as the other teams best players is expected every night. Getting outplayed by stamkos/forsberg just isn't good enough when you are getting paid significantly more.
But of course not until they're already down.Much better shift.
Lots of huge personal events and changes this short off-season. Timing is off to start the season. They'll get it together but they have been so sloppy with the details of the game. Key in my mind is to get Bouchard going and I think the team will start to go.It really seems like they think they can save themselves for the playoffs or some stupid shit
