Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted October 29, 2017 Somehow we're only eight points behind Tampa and three points behind Toronto. Tampa's played the same number of games, Toronto's played one fewer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tampa's spent the past two weeks doing nothing but winning and we've spent the past two weeks doing nothing but losing, and they've handed us two regulation losses. Toronto's a bit less surprising because they're an imperfect team, but, still, I'd assumed there'd be more space between us after this 1-5-1 stretch of ours. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaps80 1,591 Report post Posted October 29, 2017 Solid game by the entire team for the most part. That Mantha/Larkin/AA line is awesome. AA is absolutely flying out there, but I see his minutes are still being a bit limited compared to the other two. Blash letting him ease back in I guess, but he looks more than in shape and ready. Only bad thing about that game was the shots against. 50. They need to limit that, just ridiculous. Howard looked tired and probably a bit dehydrated by the end. Luckily he played great, but had he had an off night it would have been ugly. Gotta give more defensive support somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted October 29, 2017 Larkin could have easily have costed us the game last night. That applies to the game prior also which is alarming if it becomes a trend, need to keep tabs on that. He is losing puckbattles and resorts to violations in an attempt to repair it after the fact. With that said I believe that he'll sort it out. Let's give it a few more games before drawing any conclusions. Just wanted to mention as it seems as a legitimate concern, but a minor one for now.

Out of the whole NHL there's only 8 teams underneath us in points and all but 2 of them have played less games (some as much as 3). It's hard for a lot of separation with loser points. The Coyotes have managed to defy the odds with their legendary performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kliq 3,763 Report post Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) We're not "Bad" but we're also not "Good". We are in the middle. Sports fans in general are usually a bit over the top when it comes to assessing their own teams, as for some it can be therapeutic to just say things like "ughhh we suck" "OMG our team is so s***!" etc. But in reality we are a fridge playoff team. If all things click we can land in that 6th/7th/8th spot......if things don't go well we can fall right out. We're a team lacking elite players, we have good secondary scoring that is playing a line above what they should, and we have a D with 2-3 second pairing guys, and 4 bottom pairing/7th man type guys. Having this type of roster will lead to average play. Hopefully the kids can take it to the next level.
