They don't need to show. They need to score. The time for chances and shots and advanced stats is over. Just put the puck in the net.Really hope that 4th line can somehow click
My resolution is to not build my hopes about anything but Heiskanen.My new year wish is for a competent 2nd line and for Nill and McDonell to be jobless.
Breaking up Janmark - Hintz - Radulov is probably one of the dumbest things Monty has done this year. That line was flying, creating, all game long.
But no, gotta get Benn - Seguin to get carried by Radulov again.
Sure, Gurianov wasn't going but just throw a different winger up there.. Nichsuhkin, Carrick, Honka I don't care. It's Benn - Seguin they SHOULD create no matter who it is.
This is not something that happens.
Radulov is unable to score away from those two, just like those 2 are unable to produce away from him.
It's why they keep putting that line back together.
Nobody scores unless those 3 are on the ice together
On paper it should be one of the better teams from the "new-era" .. I mean we made playoffs with a fourth line of Ryan Garbutt and Vernon Fiddler.
Except all three of them had great straight line speed, which worked well with Ruff’s high tempo transition game.On paper it should be one of the better teams from the "new-era" .. I mean we made playoffs with a fourth line of Ryan Garbutt and Vernon Fiddler.
