our fourth line is complete junk. versteeg is the only one who can make or take a pass and get open and he's way too old and slow to push the play up the ice by himself. i would much rather see mangiapane/hrivik/hathaway over any combination of stajan/f hamilton/lazar/brouwer. they can't be worse at this point.

i don't understand how a defensive group that looked at least competent during most of last year can suddenly forget how to do everything and break down so thoroughly with a tiny hint of pressure, especially with a supposed upgrade in hamonic.

the first line bailed them out 4 times and they couldn't hold a lead. 3M line could have been better too, but this is mainly on the defense outside of giordano, and on gulutzan for playing the 4th line mercilessly in the third at key moments
