Yeah, makes one's coaching job a lot easier if one whole friggin side of the ice is basically a non-threat all game because of the ####ty forward balancing. You either have to be skating almost backwards or be on the backhand. These days in the NHL with how much tighter the gap control is, you can't split the D unless you are superstar caliber or even get one to open up the inside shooting lane.
Send Dube back down as I don't think he needs to go through waivers for another year, he's been ice cold and largely ineffective. And waive Reider. Bring up Czarnik and Phillips. Hell, bring up ####ing Zavgorodniy at this point.
