The discussion of our top line playing their B game is mind boggling.. Maybe some credit can be given to Nashville? Does every #1 line produce every game? I don't see how it is even an issue? Nashville is focusing on shutting down that line, let them. The TEAM is winning. TEAM. I don't give a rats azz if the top line doesn't score and we win the game.. You guys squawking about their lack of production is pointless. We don't need the top line to produce every night. If this team was losing then you would have a valid discussion.. This team is winning. Quit *****ing
Why does every player after an amazing game say "we played well but can be better"? Because you should never be satisfied until 16 wins.
People are bringing up some concerns about the top line because they looked out of sync. They can play better, and we want them to do so. Hell it wasn't even a lack of production, because Thornton and Pavs got 5 points. It was just that they looked sloppy overall last night.
I think some are complaining for the same reason cooch called the team out, yeah they won, but it wasn't a full team effort, 110% from everyone, and they better not get complacent, or overconfident. This team is better than Nash, they have to keep the peddle down, and run them over.
I actually think our boards have been super positive so far these playoffs, yet lots of us have deep seeded worry that we'll be let down again, so when the team has its worst game so far these playoffs, it's only natural some complaints get aired out.
