A nice starting time for us and it's also the European game of the month here in Sweden which means that the game is on regular TV which is fun.

Our depth could be key here. Bottom two lines are controlling the play.

We need to be more carful in our zone. We lose control of the puck far to often.

I wouldn't have believed it possible, but Kucherov might well prove you can have a "bad" 90 point season this year.

I dunno if its Kuch not really respecting the regular season and trying new things in situations where he usually played straightforward and aggressive, or if hes just not feeling it at all.

He's just not dialed in. And we might be at the point where it's time to worry about it. His style of play is more/less the same. He's always soft and cerebral. It's just, usually, he picks his spots to ramp it up a lot better.

Such a big part of his game is staying calm and recognizing when he has an extra fraction of a second to work with. The problem right now seems to be he ALWAYS thinks he has that extra fraction of a second, and usually he doesn't.

Good kill. Now it's time for us to get going and create some chances in their end now.

We're not creating much at all at the same time as we aren't playing great in our own zone. We can do better at both.

I remember that Callahan goal. Felt like an alternate universe.

If Cernak continues to adapt, rather than hitting the rookie wall, it could force us to make some tough decisions.
