85% of this team's problems would be solved by having top 6 RHS RWers

Disagree. Our problems stem from effort, consistency and pressure. Now that the pressure is off they are playing better. They have been inconsistent all season. Yes, granted coaching changes, maybe COVID got in their heads..I don’t really know. This has been the issue though for years. They show up when it doesn’t matter. It mattered when they played Ottawa.

This team would not be in the playoffs if they had “Top 6 RHS RWers”. Let’s face facts.

Further thought:
I find that this “North Division” is a little stagnant. Also how can you really evaluate your team when you are only playing 6 out of 30 teams? It probably does get a little boring for the players at times to stay engaged when you’re playing some teams multiple times in a week. Can you really evaluate how your team actually performs?

Dube should be a centre. His skating through the middle is a treat

That’s okey let’s develop him into a 3rd line winger instead!

He will be, after we trade him away

DuBennett 2.0?

I really wonder what went wrong this season, if we only won 3 more games we'd be level with MTL and have some momentum down the stretch.

It's sad to think that might be one of the last Gaudreau - Monahan offhand one-timers we see

The team lack of coaching has been damaging

young players keep getting worse

Monahan, Bennett, Tkachuk all peaked in their early 20s

I peaked in Jr High... So, I think they're elite.

Will the roller coaster season continue? All year when that glimmer of hope emerges they rip our hearts out the next time out.

Bennett just picked up another assist to tie up the Panthers/Canes game.

He hasn't peaked yet. Wait until he gets a year of confidence in that 2C role, he's going to start making elite plays.
