I'd just roll with the kids at this point. Make Larkin the 1st line Center and put Z on his wing to help out with faceoffs if needed. The kid has been thrown into the fire numerous times and has always seemed to rise to the challenge. Z - Larkin - Abby Nyquist - AA - Mantha Jurco - Sheahan - Tatar Bertuzzi - Glenny - Callahan Frk, Miller DK - Green Kronwall - Sproul XO -Smith Ericsson Probably not the best line up but it could get the younger guys a lot of play time and experience.

I can't believe anyone could talk trash about Helm not having hands, or puck possession skills and the defend Miller's game. He has ZERO ability to hold on to the puck and make plays. Plus he's slow. Can't even dump and chase. On his best shift he dumps the puck and changes.

The only way Miller helps this team is if he gets hurt and one of the younger players gets a shot.

These offside challenges are a joke. Completely sucked the excitement out of the game not even 5 minutes in.

Thanks for the updates

Have the Griffins been playing poorly this series or did they just run into a hot goalie? I didn't expect to see them down 3-0 at all

I think the players on this team are very skilled and would like to play a creative style of game. It shows when they go play for their respective countries. They always seem to be more effective. I thinks it's partially de to the bigger ice surface allowing more time and space to make plays. I also think the teams systems have something to do with it.

The Blues 2nd goal where Edmondson snuck down low back post is the type of play our defense need to make more often.

I agree that he is not solid on the defensive side of the game but I don't think they should try to turn him into something he's not. He's never going to be defensive minded. Allow him to develop his scoring abilities first and then worry about touching up his d-zone play. I lIke forwards that can play at both ends of the ice but right now this team needs a pure goal scorer.

I'm not really concerned with Mantha's defensive lapses. I'd rather they have him focused on scoring goals and making things happen in the offensive zone. There are enough 2 way forwards on this team

I'd fire every coach after watching the PP. Garbage.

This team just needs to capitalize on their chances. I think it was Tatar who walked around some poor pylon in the slot near the end of the last game and missed the net completely. Not acceptable in the playoffs.

Because this is the playoffs and you do what you have to in order to send a message or gai an advantage. It's not the time to be soft. This is hockey!

I'd rather watch the kids fail and learn from the experience than watch guys like Andersson be useless

I'd rather see a line up full of potential goal scorers than a bunch of plugs that have already proven that they can't score. Call up Mantha and give the kids top 6 minutes

Nhl.tv sucks. Blacked out as usual. Didn't eveb see nhl network listed to have this game until 10 minutes ago

Went to the Wild game last night. They looked awful. Constant defensive and neutral zone turnovers for the first 2 periods. Makes me worried that they'll come out flying tonight.

The trip and the crosscheck were garbage calls. Soft for this time of year.

There is no way that Ouellet, Sproul, Jensen, and Russo could be called up and perform any worse than the current D-core.
