I sure wish they'd give it a shot.

Lindholm is playing great at centre. Monahan and Gaudreau getting hemmed in by the fourth line is not the RW problem.
Tkachuk not playing near his level is not on Lindholm. Those three (Monahan, Gaudreau and Tkachuk) are below their level of play for past few games despite some points.
And it's not just them. The entire team is not sharp to start games. They don't skate to start - they just watch the other team to see what they're going to get. They are content with taking it.
Apparently CGY compete level is a slow boil. I guess that's what CGY scouts look for because compete is supposed to be quality management selects for but they just chose the we'll get to it later kind. Stand around and watch kind.
I mean Markstrom is ready why can't they copy him?
