Will be interesting to see the lineup. I understand the "you gotta go with the guys who brung ya"...but so far they haven't done the deed. So can see some changes could help. Not sure that adding small fast players will do the trick though (Z / Dube).
Everyone on the team needs to hit, be hit, and do so constantly...and that includes JG. Faster play...and THAT includes JG. Too much dangling, not enough moving of the puck.
When JG moves the puck quickly, Monahan gets open more often. When Johnny dangles too much he either gives it away, loses it, or someone's on Monny to intercept or interfere. Gotta be smarter, faster and with a sense of desperation (if you're not desperate today, when WOULD you be????).
We will learn a lot about this group of players today. Hope it's good.
GFG!!
