That seems accurate unfortunately. They don't seem as fast for sure. Not as hungry either. They have an occasional great game, but the consistency isn't there.
It kind of goes back to my "Gallant is being too carefree with his coaching" theory. It's good to have a coach that gets along with the players but the team's fitness has pretty clearly taken a hit and I'm not sure anything is being done to address it.That seems accurate unfortunately.

You can thank me now for Smith’s goal... just tuned into to watch on my phoneMaybe no.
The Cody's are a +2 while together on the ice tho.
I'm liking Oshie less and less. The longer his career has gone the more he pulls dirtbag moves like this.That better be a VGK PP. Really dangerous play by Oshie.

It does, 2 goals, and yeah.Doesn’t that number include the game with Alex Tuch? When it’s those two with Eakin how many points have they scored? Eakin has zero points when Tuch doesn’t play.
So beyond that would you say the third line has been good when 5 on 5?It does, 2 goals, and yeah.

I’m not just saying this because I’m biased, though being biased is a part of it, we should trade for Leipsic, I think he could be a better fit on that line, especially when Tuch returns.
Additionally he has been more productive than anyone not named glass on the third line this season.
How do you think this team would do without Turk ?It kind of goes back to my "Gallant is being too carefree with his coaching" theory.

Multiple concussions in what, five weeks? Are we sure Tuch is returning before the trade deadline?
I don't know. I didn't say we should fire him. I just want him to maybe get more engaged in what has appeared to be a number of continuing trends that have been worrisome.How do you think this team would do without Turk ?
They have been bland(scored a goal and allowed none. Definition of a line being bland).So beyond that would you say the third line has been good when 5 on 5?
Who says Tuch had a concussion before the start of the year? He did a face plant into the boards, it could have been anything.

I'd want all of our lines to start playing better though, sure the top 2 has good underlying numbers but ****, start having it show on the scoresheet with some goals. And if I had to single out players who need to step it up I'd say Marchy, Stastny, & Eakin.

First unit not the best effort there. Good look from Patches.Gotta take advantage of the PP here, please.
