Post-Game Talk (GBU): From a blizzard to a Hurricane

[PlamsUnlimited]

Neuvirth was amazing. Too bad we can't score or play D I didn't understand some coaching decisions last night.

I was just thinking, is the reason this team is been flat the past 2 games because of Girgensons being out? Is he already this important to this team? I think its possible.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

He adds good dimension to the team even now. I wouldn't doubt it.

Somewhat. But part of it is because he's being replaced by Leino on that line. Which is just a huge downgrade for anything with a heartbeat. Leino has checked out for the season.

Girgensons is a heart and soul player...it could very possibly be a reason this team is pretty flat.
then again, everyone is playing either 1 or 2 lines above where they should be, so that could be another reason.

I think the talent drop is the main reason. And playing with Leino has to suck the life out of you too

TBH if I had to play with Leino I'd probably be loathe to pass to him unless he was wide open in the slot or something like that. The puck just dies on his stick

The team also lost Moulson, Stewart, and Mitchell/McCormick the same time it lost Girgensons. Moulson and Stewart were a significant part of what top 6 we had left. Mitchell is a solid bottom 6 player. It's definitely not just Girgensons. Our second line has Foligno and D'Agostini on the wings.

I agree, but since the Chicago game this team is different. The Florida game can also slide in with those past 2 games.

Almost Rolston like, heh.
