With all the talk about chemistry, new systems, needing time to gel, etc., thought I'd take a quick look at how some of the forwards are doing now, as opposed to the first 20. Here is what it looks like:

Player: pts (1st-20), PPG / pts (next-13), PPG

Hubs: 9, 0.53 / 13, 1.00
Lind: 16, 0.80 / 14, 1.17
Kadi: 15, 0.75 / 11, 0.85
Toff.: 13, 0.65 / 13, 1.00
Mang: 7, 0.35 / 7,.. 0.54
Dube: 6, 0.30 / 13, 1.00

every single top 6 guy has picked it up, with the average rising from 0.56 to 0.93 PPG, pace: 46, 76 pts

Back: 9, 0.45 / 9, 0.69
Cole: 9, 0.45 / 3, 0.23
Ruzi: 8, 0.80 / 10, 0.77

3rd line averages: 0.57, 0.56, pace: 46, 46

Lewi: 6, 0.30 / 5, 0.38
Luci: 5, 0.25 / 5, 0.50
Rich: 6, 0.33 / 1, 0.14

4th line averages: 0.29, 0.34, pace: 24, 28

The top 6 had a slow first-20, but have picked it up to almost what you would expect from them.
The 3rd line is doing their job (no surprise)
The 4th line is doing their job

Individually, everyone looks fine in the 2nd quarter, except Mangiapane (trending in the right direction) and Coleman (has slipped)

Overall, pretty good. And the results also reflect positive trending but not there yet:

1st 20.: 9-8-3, 0.525
2nd 20: 6-4-3, 0.577

get her up to .600 and we're good

I know some will say the recent numbers are inflated, playing SJS twice - sure, but overall, the schedule has still been tougher than league average. In 20-game segments, you take it as it is, and the bottom line is that the 2nd quarter has been better.

IMO, the LA game tomorrow night is the biggest game of the year so far. LAK is 6 games over 0.500 and the Flames are 3 games over. Win in regulation, and it's 5 and 4 and we have essentially caught them. Lose, and it's 7 and 2, and they remain in full control of their playoff spot. The Flames need to string some wins together to get the season into gear, and to send a message to the other western conference teams that they are going to be part of the playoff picture. A win tomorrow gets everyone's attention.
