19-11-88 - top down the stretch just last year
17-93-29 - best line in the playoffs
Just ####ing do it, Ward. For 10 games.
And play fast.
Nothing your blender does places probability over hope.
We saw under Brent Sutter good players implementing a strategy that was awful and suited for junior. That’s where we are again
Damn right we have an unproven and underachieving coach

Those top two lines were good but completely ineffective in the playoffs, which is what prompted the reshuffling of the lines, Lindholm at centre experiment, etc.
Right now everyone is frustrated because we aren't even back at the level that Peters had the team playing. A lot of fans are calling for us to go back to that, so that at least we can be a good REGULAR SEASON team again. But I think that's short-sighted. We already know we can, but we'll just get bounced again in the playoffs.
I think the whole point of this line shuffling is trying to figure out if we can be more than a good regular season team that get swept in the first round. So far the answer is no. That failusre falls on both the coach AND players.
