duh, that should have been the gameplan after the first 10 mins
Our top line is legit. They're just not up to speed yet. Big money free agents is not what this rebuild needs.We really need some real quality for big money to push these young guys.
I’d like to see more of what he had rolling in the 3rd. Top line was the same and then he hadOur top line is legit. They're just not up to speed yet. Big money free agents is not what this rebuild needs.
I would just shuffle the lines a bit and see if something clicks.

You can rotate the lines a thousand times, but you dont get NHL Scorings out of it. Yes, guys like Cooley, Gunther and maybe Maccelli will improve and get more points in the future. But this team has just one real goal scorer and after this 3-4 guys with 10-20 goals… not enough.Our top line is legit. They're just not up to speed yet.

Agreed on net front presence, but we do have guys that can move the puck effectively - Schmaltz, Durzi, Cooley, Maccelli, Keller, hell even Kerfoot and Dumba. I'd like to see us use our width in attack a little more combined with our speed. Go more wall to D to wall or just opposite corner dump ins. Then get it back to the trailing attackers, crash the net and for the love of God, get some more shots.You can rotate the lines a thousand times, but you dont get NHL Scorings out of it.

But our biggest problem is the qualitay in front of the net and the awful zone entry especially in the powerplay (like the last 1:30 showed brutal again).
You cant handle these problems just with picks and some coaching.
If you want to make the next step (and if these franchise ever wants to be a legit playoff contender), you have to grab some real quality on the free agent market.
All I have to add is that @TheLegend is 0-2 on GDT's now.
I absoloutely agree with u with our play style. Thats what we need for sure.Agreed on net front presence, but we do have guys that can move the puck effectively - Schmaltz, Durzi, Cooley, Maccelli, Keller, hell even Kerfoot and Dumba.

Simple fundamental attacking hockey.
Dumba and Zucker are "real quality," despite two game's evidence to the contrary.If u get Dumba, Kerfoot and Zucker as free agents and your core players/Rookies are way better…. No words needed.

Dumba and Zucker are here to wait for March, so they can be traded cheaply to a playoff team.Dumba and Zucker are "real quality," despite two game's evidence to the contrary.
Everyone relax.
Cooley is on a 82 point pace. Things are fine.
Edit: watching the replay. What an embarrassing crowd. Relocate NYI.
Pretty bad game. Boring and the Yotes didn’t show up until the 3rd. That PP neutral zone drop is so bad when these guys try it. They really should stop.
At least the DVR worked for this one. Haha. Though I kinda wish it hadn’t.
