I agree with you! They really need to fix up their best line. I believe that we have the players to make our team go far but it's just the matter of changing them around and expecting more out of the best line. I'm not too sure if I am expecting too much from Iginla this year

Besides, Blake Comeau and Chris Butler play 10 and 15 minutes per game on average. That does not explain why for every ES goal Alex Tanguay has been a part of, he's been on ice for two goals against. That's a much bigger problem than what goes on when Comeau is on ice.
And Tanguay is one of the best we got. It's not his fault that he's not good enough to win us games.
The reason we are losing 2 games out of 3 is NOT because our bottom guys are not good enough. It's because the BEST lines we can ice on average lose their matchups.
There's your problem. Fix that and you fix the team. No voodoo, no rocket science. Our best lines are not good lines, and our best players are not that great.
Unfortunately, there's no easy way of fixing that. We don't have the resources, due largely to prolonged resource mismanagement. Which is something that I am not at all convinced that Feaster has been any better with. Veterans and UFA's should have been traded in the previous seasons, and he has kept on wasting picks. Not high picks and not a lot of picks, but he's still in the red there.
