I'm sure Vrana got bumped because of defensive issues.There was just implication that Reirden didn't like something Vrana was doing, hence the demotion. I'm not sure he's played anywhere deserving of not being on the top 2 lines this year. I'd much rather bump Stephenson down and reunite 13 - 19 - 77. Though I'd be more interested in a 13 - 92 - 77 line right now.
They're adapting to the new diamond formation and some new guys. They shut out the Dallas PP last game. I think they'll get it sorted out, but yeah, not so pretty right now.Penalty kill is a disaster so far this year
Stephenson is another one. I know they tried him there for a hot second at beginning of season, but i’d like to see it again. Just for the stephenson speed and backcheck.When does Oshie get a try on the 1st line? They tried everybody else there.
Pretty fortunate bounce for it to land right on Ovie's stick, but it was a pretty composed finish as well
He got in too deep. His options were limited. Ive noticed he goes for the 5 hole on his breakaways. He scored on a couple of them last season but he might need to try something else.Stephenson has no finish this year.
Bowey is playing well since he got back in the lineup.Bowey stood up Khaira nicely at blueline. That was a solid thump
