There’s a lot of chatter about the team finding ways to lose, but I almost put it closer to “the team is choosing to lose” with the structure of its lineup. They aren’t setting themselves up for success, and as a result they aren’t having success.
Now that the team is back home I’m dying to see Huberdeau returned to Lindholm and Toffoli. I’d also really like to see Mangiapane reunited with Coleman and Backlund, as that line just worked last year. That leaves Ruzicka, Dube and Kadri to form the other top-9 line - and who knows, maybe that will click.

I'm not that pessimistic.
I think a run of 6-2 or something is right around the corner, too many numbers are bound to level off.
