Another game lost due to special teams.
Tkachuk and Hamilton are severely under used while Brouwer/Brodie are severely over used by the 3 clown circus behind the bench.
Tkachuk and Hamilton can be major difference makers on the #1 PP.
Run the PP through Gaudreau on the right side flank, with Monahan in his office in the slot, Tkachuk in front of the net in the area he excels, with Gio on the right point and Hamilton on the left point/flank. Have 1 timer options on the point and can also work it down low on either side with Gaudreau/Hamilton who are very good on the PP. Could also set up Hamilton sneaking in from the point when Gaudreau has it...so many options and ways to set up scoring plays with that mix.
Have Brodie-Stone on the 2nd unit with Backlund and 2 of Frolik/Ferland/Benett/Jagr/Janko.
It's really not rocket science.
