The top paid and best players have a lot of accountability , IMO.
They are, predominately , the major reason for wins and losses.
People whining about the 4th line and bottom pair D carries no weight with me.

Speaking of top paid players, I was hoping to see a little more offensive skill out of Coleman. Put into a more prominent role here, I was hoping to see more. His goal total is OK I guess but he’s not often in the mix on scoring chances from what I see.
I agree the top line wasn’t too good tonight. Which is always going to be a challenge. We don’t have top players in the league type talent. You hope you get some contributions from up and down the line up.
People hoping Gaudreau and Tkachuk are elite superstars are going to be continually disappointed. Are either one of the top 50 players in the game? I believe ESPN only had one of them in their top 100.
