The goaltending is obviously far and away the top concern. The rest of the maybe's I think GG has enough options to work with for both line combinations and defensive pairings. I worry about leadership both from the coaching staff and more importantly the players.
They did have some push back against the Ducks but where was the instigator. No not talking about dropping the mitts but winning other battles. In front of the net and along the boards. Maybe they get there with a team tough approach but I do wish they had a leader who was both physical and skilled. Who could grow into that role? Bennett? Ferland?
