The definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and expecting different results.

The theme at the beginning of the year was that playing time would be based on performance.

This lineup looks like it's based more on contracts and reputation.

I mean did you really think the kids would play over the vets when everyone was healthy?

Plus who are we supposed to sit and what better option is on the bench? Butcher for Kulikov or Vat? Meh. Kuokkanen for Gusev? Meh.

People jumped the shark a bit hyping up our depth.

So the best offensive producer on this team thus far (apart from Hughes and Palmieri) will somehow stop him?

Come on, I understand Zacha's hate but blaming Nico's slow start on everybody else is ridiculous.

wut? i didn't blame nico's start on anything...if i had to blame it on something, it would be his injury/covid/not playing for a year. but we should be putting him in the best position to succeed, and zacha aint it as we learn every year. but by all means, i don't mean to denigrate the 1 ES goal zacha scored over the past 10 days, which was wonderful.

I think the ‘depth’ conversation had more to do with having a stable of young, fresh legs for the balance of this ridiculously hectic season. That still holds true.

Wouldn't mind seeing a top six of:
Johnsson-Hughes-Bratt
Zacha-Nico-Palms

Give Zacha and Nico someone with more of a shoot first mentality. I wish there was a better scorer than Johnsson to put with Hughes and Bratt but at least when they were together they were possession monsters in the o-zone.

I also really hope they get Goose and Zajac off the same line. Having the two slowest skaters on the same line is painful.
