Except NYRs are 24th in league scoring...not really the offensive role model....I think the rout was more because they were playing rested, at home, against league bottom dweller Florida. I doubt they are 3-1 on our road trip.
It's amazing how much your head comes up and your vision improves when you get open ice to work with.
Jackets played hard and it was admirable. But offensively, they looked like they were playing the second night of a back to back. This was probably a game in which Richards should have shortened up the bench quite a bit in the third. I'll have to watch it again and I was quickly skipping past some of the third as I didn't stay up to watch the third after the previous night. But it seemed to me we were pretty much running out the same lines that weren't doing anything.
I'm not sure why Richards hasn't flipped Johansen and Letestu a bit more to give a different look. Johansen has looked good with Gaborik in the brief times they are allowed to be on the ice at the same time. That top line has been cold. I know I saw Dubinsky up there for a shift or two here and there or was that just a partial line change?
It shows confidence in your team to keep them together, but we've got to get a bit more strategy out there in an attempt to give the other teams a bit of a different look.
