Like I have said many times, our problems are with the defense, not our forwards. We aren't tough enough back there, we need some guys that are flat out nasty to play against and clear the front of the net! So many of their goals have come from deflections in front or rebounds with guys standing there untouched. Wiz has been just terrible, Game 4 he looked like he could barely skate. Nikitin left the guy on the 2nd goal last night, wide open. I would put Prout in over Nikitin, no chance he sits Wiz, he's too big a guy in the room, though he deserves to sit without a doubt. Our only solid guys are Jack, Savard and Murray. Tyutin is too soft. We looked way better with Schultz and Prout back there. I hope the changes Richards is hinting at are to the back end. Skille needs to move down a few lines, I like his speed and shot but he doesn't have the passing skills to play with Boone and RyJo. Bob was outstanding, we owe him one.
