Absolutely nothing wrong with calling out the first line for lack of production the past few weeks.
Since the Jersey explosion where they combined for 14pts, our first line has only 3 points in the past 5 games.
But this is what is a call for optimism.
With our top line sputtering we are still 4-1 with 19 GF and 7 GA. The 3M line is back and our 4th line is dominating. I choose to believe our top line will be ready for the playoffs, but even if they are neutralized, we have the depth to make up for it.
Depth wins cups.
