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.

And if Neal can regain some shade of his former self and make his line dangerous for the odd goal 5 on 5 then the top line carrying the mail every night will matter even less.
Winning in the league really is by committee. That's why Edmontons in the sewer even with that generational one dimensional talent on their top line.
