Grossman - out after game 1
Wideman - out after game 2
Kulak, Jokipaka in for game 2/3
Concerns about zone entry - being addressed
Versteeg - bumped down the lineup
Chiasson playing well - gets a chance with Gaudreau/Monahan.
Seems like quite a few astute adjustments 3 games in!

agreed. Mind you, this thread would be far less forgiving if they lost again last night. Sports, and the fans, are fickle like that....
"it's a result based business, yadda yadda yadda".
I personally feel the team has steadily improved every single game so far. Which does make me hopeful that really is an adjustment
process.
It feels like a team that was just piss poor defensively, giving up chances due major breakdown after major breakdown, to a better 200ft team, where the defensive breakdowns are becoming more in frequent, while balancing the creation of offense.
They are still having major breakdowns resulting in grade A chances, but as long as the trajectory indicates that they are improving, the confidence in the coaching staff has grown, at least for me as a fan.
