the old adage is to get out of a rut you will play a good game and lose, before you win
guess we'll see about that tomorrow

I actually agree with you, but my fear is just that this line up is seriously flawed up front...i feel like we need a top 6 LW (for the 2nd line) that plays a gritty game and likes to shot the puck...im not going to blame BM for this but this team needs what beleskey did last year...IMO hagelin and sekac SHOULD NOT be in the top 6, but having those guys in the bottom 6 really makes up deep (and thompson cant be back soon enough).I don't really buy the moral victory nonsense, but I do think we saw some good things. It was a better effort. We got some chances. The PP wasn't completely awful. It was definitely a game we could have won.
There is still plenty to be frustrated about. Topping the list is probably Getzlaf.
Even with the good, it's crap. Looking for positive things in a regular season loss, with a team that went to the Conference Finals last season. It wasn't as bad as the previous 7 games. Hooray.

I seriously at this point be surprised if we missed the playoffs entirely.
I don't know but does anyone remember that play hampus made along the boards to the middle to get a scoring chance toward the end of the game, that was underrated holy sheet looked like Karlsson
I honestly don't know why they haven't tried this before.ya that was slick. very NHL16 esque
him and fowler should most definitely be a pairing. i'd honestly play them 25-28 min a game rofl

Scotty never captained a Cup winner before that. So you're saying Getzlaf's got three more years to be a Scotty level leader and you jumped to a bad comparison in the heat of the moment?Oh, he was the captain of that team?
Because they both can't handle a full season with those minutes... Not yet, anyway...
to be hoenst you never really know if they can or can't until you actually play them that many minutes

Cam went on a run two years ago mid-late season with those minutes.... Did pretty well, but you could tell it took its toll in the playoffs.... Hamp has faded every single playoffs he's been in....
So, I guess you're right, because we haven't played them together with those minutes. So far, they haven't given bb a reason to, and It's the same reason why he's monitored the D's minutes going back to last season.
i dont know how they could give BB a reason to if they've been given the opportunity. unless you're saying the other pairings are good enough so that thats why they've not had to.
fowler-lindholm have been paired together a couple times this year (only a handful of shifts) but they've looked absolutely dynamic while doing so.
I do but I'm not saying. I've applied for the job for when Bruce gets canned. When Eddie gets behind the bench you will see a difference.
