I also recall that Ryan's good play last year was not as evidence off the bat. maybe his starts are a bit slow. If he revs up a bit, I think Lucic and Bennett will benefit.
Given how badly that line is getting swamped in terms of possession, it's inevitable that they are going to start giving up goals if they don't turn that around. Also, can't depend on the PK always rescuing us the way they did against Vancouver as Lucic's inability to skate leads to bad hooking penalties.

That said, the fight against LA did have a positive impact, I do agree there.
