Agreed. He's trying to match up the muckers and the speedy guys together and it just isn't working.
Duchene is slowly but surely coming back into form. But he's not there yet. It shouldn't be surprising given that an abdominal injury would adversely affect his game. But I saw some encouraging signs last night. And I thought even though he was a bit outmatched, he did a pretty good job containing Henrik Sedin. That's a tough assignment for anyone.
Overall though, it was a very frustrating game to watch. The top six couldn't generate any pressure, and the bottom six could, but couldn't finish. I feel like Roy should've made some in-game adjustments but I guess he didn't want to disrupt what the third and fourth lines were doing, and that's understandable.
All that said, I thought we made significant progress against a foe that has been, for the last few years, seemingly unbeatable. The Canucks weren't able to toy with us like they have in year's past. They're fading for sure, and we're emerging, and I can't wait until the day comes when we're beating them senseless once again.
