I haven't felt this... little... about them since Krueger.
It feels like a tug of war with every line and pairing. Like there is one or two players in each that just don't get it and the other do.
JJ and Tage seem to get how Ruff wants them to play. Then there is Tuch who seems lost and his tenacious back checking is sporadic
Benson knows how to play and where to go, he just needs to bulk up but then you have Cozens and Quinn who just look like they don't know how to play hockey.
Zucker McLeod Greenway, no real issues here. Would love to see Zucker use his speed and a little more nasty but I'm not gunna be picky
Malenstyn Krebs Lafferty have also been fine but they don't seem to be flying around like they were in the pre-season
Dahlin Joki - it just doesn't seem to work. Joki seems to lose his man and Dahlin seems to be trying to do too much and just needs to get back to being cerebral.
Byram Power - no real issues here, they feed well off each other
Samuelsson Clifton - Samuelsson is just dragging down any positives that Clifton has provided with 2 or 3 plays a game that are costly.
UPL Levi - neither of these can control rebounds and until that can happen. It feels like UPL struggles when looking over his shoulder with Levi there.
Id like to see:
Peterka Thompson Quinn
Benson McLeod Tuch
Zucker Lafferty Greenway
Malenstyn Krebs Cozens
Dahlin Clifton
Byram Power
Samuelsson Joki
UPL
Any cheap vet goalie, hell give me Houser.
