[Machiavelli]

Watched this one really late last night. They came out strong and I had all sorts of positive vibes about the game

Unfortunately, the disparity in special teams loomed large. I've noticed Gio in particular doesn't play the body enough on the PK

Johnny continues to draw about a quarter of the penalties that he should. Saw better displays of skill from him tonight at least. The effort on the backcheck on Cogliano was good. At first I thought he faded off him, but he tried to get his stick in there

I'll throw something at the TV if Chaisson is on the top line next game...I don't care if he scores goals off his junk, drop him down already

Tkachuk is so fun to watch but I'm a little discouraged that the teenager is the one leading by example

They've played the most games in the league, but three days off really sucks. Here's hoping they can get some things figured out
