[PGT] Lightning 3, No goal support for Wolf

I would say even an uptick in powerplay efficiency would make a big difference for this team. They need a PP QB on the back end and a guy around the net that can finish. Maybe Parekh can be the guy on the back end but I have no idea where the elite finishing forward is in this organization.

Just switch him and Sharangovich - easy.

He's coming off a bad injury and certainly doesn't need the added pressure of playing centre until he gets his legs and conditioning fully back to where it needs to be. He's exactly where he needs to be right now and likely won't be fully himself until next season even if he does play the rest of the year.

[HighLifeMan]

We played decently enough. Controlled things at five on five, and a bad break got Tampa the lead they needed. That team is firing on all cylinders at the moment and that's not an easy task to deal with.

Not sure I am seeing a ton of chemistry offensively with the lines as they are rolling

I'd like to see
Huberdeau - Kadri - Sharangovich
Zary - Frost - Coronato
Farabee - Backlund - Coleman

Solovyov looked incredible in my opinion. He can really defend well and moves pucks at a consistent rate.

Against the high end teams, it will be a struggle to score.....

Obviously Tampa had luck, especially on the 1st goal.

Flames last game, had the same thing,

The Kadri line had a number of great chances, but Vasilevky snuffed them. He robbed Huberdeau a couple times.

I think you swap him and Zary for sure.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Coles and Backs are an offensive black hole these days. Definitely get Zary away from them. It's a waste of his skill.

Sharky can go there, where he'll at least not be a liability, and if he gets hot again then great.

[SuperMatt18]

I'd swap Farabee and Sharangovich to be honest.

Huberdeau - Kadri - Coronato
Zary - Frost - Sharangovich
Coleman - Backlund - Farabee
Lomberg - Rooney - Pospisil

Excellent. Next, I would like to discuss Rooney...

[Strange Brew]

Farabee can feel free to start producing anytime now.

1 point in 8 games.
