My guys have been doing better, of late, mainly on the strength of incredible goaltending. Despite being last in "high-danger" opportunities against, Crawford, and especially, Lehner, have been no less than amazing. With DeHaan and Seabrook having had shoulder surgeries, our D-Corps is no better than awful, and sometimes has as many as 3 rooks or limited experienced NHL/AHL fringe guys on the ice at any given game. Keith and the defensively deficient duo of Gustafsson and Murphy are fixtures, Koekoek, Gilbert, Boqvist, are the youngsters, and rotate with Maata.

Offensively, Kane has been the most consistent, with Toews heating up, lately. Debrincat has been snakebit but is getting chances. Strome has been picking it up. Very quietly, a rook named Kubalik is 2nd among rookie scoring, and a rook named Dach has shown promise. You will hardly recognize the names on the bottom 6, except for cast offs Carpenter and Zack Smith, who fill 4th line roles.

Saad, Caggiula, and Shaw have been hurt, along with IRd Seabrook and deHaan.

Our special teams are, decidedly, unspecial. Your guys are as likely to score on 5 on 4 PPs as my guys.

Good luck to your guys, and, as usual, I will be lurking in the GT, as my guys try to close on your guys' 2nd WC spot, after our dismal 1st quarter of the season.
