Lack of production from the top line is the number one reason for the recent record. Easier to blame Stajan but you win and lose on the backs of your top guys
Johnny had the game on his stick a couple times last night and didn’t deliver. But people seem to have a real problem pointing the finger in his direction

Because the 1st line can’t score every night. They’ve contributed to the majority of our wins this season where is the 4th line has contributed to more losses than wins. Like I’ve said in other threads, I’ve seen the 4th line of other teams win games singlehandedly and we received the same type of performances, maybe we’d be at 20 wins by now and nobody would be complaining.
At the end of the day, if the 4th line still plays 10–11 minutes a night, that equates to approximately 12–15 games in an 82 game season which is not insignificant. We need more from that 4th line or they need to be replaced because they have not performed up to the standard that this team has set all season long.
