Even if they didn't score tonight, they were dangerous. Caufield was all over the place getting shots, Slaf had a couple chances that were blocked and Nick was a physical wrecking ball.

All 4 lines are clicking right now. It's really fun to watch.
I think their flow and execution can still be better. Caufield is by far the best player on that line right now for sure. Suzuki is producing, but I still think he can be much better, and Slaf still needs more confidence with the puck on his stick.

I'm not saying they're playing bad or anything, but I definitely think they have a higher gear they can get into.

Before the season started I thought that our real strength over other teams was our bottom six, we'd have two bottom lines that can play against anyone in the league. À good mix of skating, vétéran presence, size and more goal scores than your usual bottom six. Now if it continues like that, other teams will have a problem as they wont have a single easy shift against those 4 lines.

Oh yeah, they do have an higher gear. They need to all click at the same time. Caufield has been the most consistent, though.

I ain’t bitching. Winning is fun and they are playing great. All im saying, it would be a lot more fun with points to our youngs stars instead of old vets that will be gone next year.
3 of the 4 non-empty net goals were created by plays built by the young guys.
Newhook scoring with an assist by Laine
Guhle's shot getting tipped
Heinenman making a great play on a 2-1 for an assist

Keep Armia and Anderson. Dvo and Gally goes. No disrespect to Gally but I think we can upgrade on him. Anderson’s skating is too vital.
Galley at least plays hard and gives it 100% all the time…..besides, no one would want his contract. We aren’t hurting having him play. 10 goals in 35 games isn’t too shabby, especially for a 3rd line guy and very little PP time, if any.

Like I said no disrespect. He’s been playing well he’s just limited.

I mean re-signing him. Don’t need to trade him

I think I'm okay with keeping Anderson over Gally for the following reasons:
- Younger and less mileage
- Harder to replace role (PK vs PP)
- Lower AAV
- brings size and game is more likely to age better

Experience and maturity will help

Dobes, Dach emergence, Evans on an insane run, Anderson finding his niche, Armia solid, Xhekaj gaining confidence. So many pieces falling into place.
You just about mailed all the reasons for this great upturn. Of course, Carrier allowing Guhle to move over to his natural side has also improved our 3rd pairing by moving Savard down to hold AX’s hand while he matures. We actually have a plan on defense now too. Just like our 4 limes…..amazing…someone pinch me…is this really happening?
