Here are some very very key notes to take from this and recent games.
1) Wier is not a top 4 defender. Say what you will but we must get Ceci help or else we not only will continue to get lose with incompetent 2nd pairing but Ceci's potential and ceiling is decreasing every game he has to continue carrying Wier Ya he made that breakout pass for our 1st goal but if i continue to try those passes and do nothing else, i'll get lucky once in a while.
2) It's quite a miracle that Cameron has went 5 games with Ryan-Turris-Stone when they never scored an EV goal in that stretch. Re-read what I just said again. I can't believe it myself.
3) HST put it back together.
4) Zibanejad flashing 1st line C ability tonight. What's probably the most encouraging thing about Zibanejad is he seems to be among our best players against really tough teams. Or in important moments.
5) Karlsson is magnificent
6) We need to get better pressure from our 4th line. I love Neil but he really doesn't bring any outstanding element to that 4th line. If we had a top heavy top 6 id keep him but we need pressure, energy and scoring from all lines and he really stalls that line.
7) WE NEED HELP FOR CECI
8) Another top 3 forward would really help this team as well, HST one line and XXX-Zib-Ryan on another... or a top line C instead of Turris/Zib.
