Wait a minute we play at home thurs so only two days off and then fly out to Minnesota the following day? This is the toughest schedule in the league to start and we’re 7-2. Wild
I’d be impressed if they have a practice on wednesday. Thatd be savage.
 
Idk. I don't want to get down. 7-2, 3rd in the whole league, but can't escape the house of cards feeling. The systems are better, the defending is better. However we're still being carried by three or four guys, and one of them produces only on the PP.
Offense comes and goes. Gotta hope some guys are hot at any given time. Defense should be consistent tho. And so far I think they have been.
 
I hope Chytil snaps out of it. He didn't look happy after tonight's game at all.
The way he handled the puck the last two games i wouldn't be surprised to hear that he's battling some sort of hand or arm injury. He's really struggling with basic control and accepting passes. Remember, he wasn't taking faceoffs to start the season. I legit think he's battling through an injury.
 
I kill Panarin maybe more than anyone here. I did not think he had it in him to return to MVP form. Would love more than anything for this to be real and to carry over into the playoffs.

I’m also down for shaving everyone else’s head, starting with #93.
He has been taking the puck downhill into the slot again. Huge improvement. World of difference. The game winning play today was a perfect example.
 
Very encouraging season so far. No reason I shouldn’t be optimistic. Months to go until the TDL so I’m not going to worry about those moves for awhile yet. Playoffs are months away. I have several months of regular season to enjoy before then.

Sure there will be ups and downs along the way. It’s a long season. The world won’t end because of their next crappy game.

I applaud the coach for sticking with a lineup
 
Panarin is the most talented player on this team which is not lacking for talent. He's also been the most inconsistent,mostly having to do with effort or more precisely lack of. He's the the Jeckyl and Hyde of hockey. We are seeing a full effort from him so far but I would like to see a little more against faster harder checking teams. We really haven't played anybody yet. If he's as good in November as he has been so far I'm quite hopeful but I have a shadow of doubt. When your best player doesn't play with consistent effort it poisons the entire team. That's been the story of Panarin so far. I don't think anyone here would question his immense talent. Are you questioning his inconsistent effort ???
Panarin is our most consistent point producer, without him we're toast.
 
I'm afraid Kakko isn't enough of a badass to balance the beta male Chi on Zibs line. Safe to say he's not a sniper or play maker either. Would'nt be surprised if Othmann grabs that role before the season is over. Leaving Kakko as trade fodder or 3rd line.
I'm hopeful he can figure it out but why trade him for 3rd line help when you can just play him on the 3rd line? His biggest issue is he doesn't turn toward the net when he's in the corner and continues to work his way in and out of the corner. Maybe he isn't strong enough to Rick Nash or Jagr himself to the net yet but that's where his goals are gonna come from, he needs to get that in his game, that and trusting his shot.

Loving our start and I'm liking the improvements but we are still kinda living and dying with our pp and pk which is kind of an issue come playoff time.
