I'll take the win but man was that not all that good. We are looking like we did this time last year, playing sloppy hockey but finding ways to win.
Brossoit with a real nice game, if he can give us that as a backup we will be fine.
JoMo with a pair of assists and some strong d play again. He wasn't as sharp as he has been but still a good outing.
Trouba was not all that good, giving the puck away all night and like most of the team was off.
Chariot and Kulikov had CF's of 4 and 8% that says it all they were absolutely garbage tonight.
Morrow and Myers were asked to punch above their weight and both really struggled at times. Myers just can't handle that matchup we know this now. Morrow also can't without an elite partner.
Our breakout was awful tonight and that isn't a surprise with who we had on the ice. I am ready to get Niku up so that we have another plus breakout dmen.
Scheifele, Wheeler and Conner: A very up and down game from them. They had some great chances but were also poor in their own end. They really need to clean up their d play as it isn't good enough.
Little Laine and Ehelers: A better night from these guys, they generated some real good chances but like the Scheifele line were poor in their end. Little with a real nice night, Laine with a good game and Ehlers started getting things going.
Lowry, Copp and Tanev: Like most of the team the line was up and down. Did their thing at times, but at times were sloppy.
Roslovic, Ves and Perrault: Ves just isn't ready, losing battles, killing plays he needs to go somewhere where he can play. Roslovic was solid and Perrault was ok.
