2 Minute Minor
Hi Keeba!
Nice to see the team playing Hitchcocks style effectively, but I think Calgary is not the best measuring stick. They play hard, but lack talent.
It was the correct move to put Ott on the top line. The other two lines need more ice time together to gel. He did a more than serviceable job filling in for Berglund.
Hopefully whatever is ailing Berglund is a quick recovery, and also maybe slowed him in the Rangers game...because he looked tentative and passive in that game. I'm concerned for the lineup if he's not up to taking the wing spot on Backes line.
Lindstrom has shown some flashes, but also failed to get off a shot on two occasions where two Blues got behind the D. Hopefully he'll be skilled enough to make that line more dangerous, but I think he has a lot to prove first. It was nice to see him get a goal, though.
