When they have time they just dick around, when time is running out and there at the 30 second mark their urgency shoots up, they start quickening up their passing and they get a better chance.

For the first 90 seconds they just stickhandle around and pass it so slowly that no lane ever opens up.
They just pass it back and forth and somehow scores, its a mystery how they score because it looks like they generate nothing.

I know but from 9th to 29th.. such a huge jump even from losing two players and icing lesser ones to replace them.

That's the type of jump in quality you see when a team completely overhauls.
3 players(including Lindholm) are about 30% of your PK regulars (6 forwards, 4 D), and Lindholm and Tanev re 2 of the better PKers in teh league.

Backlund and Coleman have slowed down a lot. Tanev also has the presence of two Dmen out there, he’s a big loss.

Also feels like we never win a dzone faceoff anymore
 
Was thinking about Lindy and I checked his stats to see how he's been in Boston, I knew it was bad, but oh it's bad. 9 goals, 28 points in 55 games.

Holy bullet dodged, guy was cooked when Conroy offered him that massive contract and he had the balls to turn it down.

Cozens is 50.3% at the dot this season, his career best by a country mile, just saying lol
 
I’d really like to see a Kadri trade. That was bad from Huberdeau and atrocious from Barrie but so much time and energy was wasted from Kadri stickhandling down blind alleys for the 20th time this game

Really though, what the hell does Rooney add to this team? His defense is suspect, he has 0 offense, he doesn't hit, he can't PK. The point of a 4th line is to add energy, guy adds nothing. At least Lombo will go hit and fight guys, even if I think he should be a 50 game guy opposed to an every day 4th liner, he at least adds something.

Klapka is also not it.
