knock on wood man. we're creeping into the " you know what we got in out team this year" time which is november. Scoring is a big issue. More accurately, they need a 2nd line. As much as Backlund and Frolik and Tkachuk are great, they're more a traditional 3rd line. or should be.

Better get on that issue sir,
If it keeps him up at night then why did he spend all the remaining assets we have on a slightly above average D when the big need was a winger?

Giordano out of sync with the team, they're not anticipating his positioning.

Any team not making the playoffs is a lottery team. This team looks like a lottery team.

Ask him! I don't know. I wasn't a fan of the Hamonic trade in the first place. He's been fine but it hasn't done much to "strengthen" the D corps.

Did you watch Dennis Wideman play? It's so refreshing to watch our #4 guy and not notice him.

How does every goalie look like the 2nd coming of brodeur against us?

Versteeg on the PP is the biggest fail I’ve ever seen ... every time he just shoots it right at the goalie ... he looks like a noob player on nhl 18

Kincaid is another un-heralded Devils back up. Same as Clemsson and others of yore.

Really like Stone's point shot. Wouldn't mind seeing Giordano and Hamilton moved to the top unit (take Versteeg off for now as the point guy) and go with Stone and Brodie on the 2nd unit.

Too much passing on the top unit right now as none of Brodie, Versteeg or Gaudreau like to shoot.

Flames are certainly getting their chances. Too bad our offence is so embarrassingly inept.

Because we have no offensive skill outside of one line and we make them look better than they are.

No speed through the middle (other than Gaudreau but even then not like he used to)
No threats on the blue line on pinches
No cross-ice passes
