Finding Hyman
I edited my post too, re reading it the tone came off worse then I wanted. I do a lot of lurking so saw a lot of the BS but only do post game threads not the game day so I'm sure am missing lots.
I was just hoping this thread would have some positivity. The team lost but I thought Drai looked good, held his own vs Malkin and Kessel and created/cashed in some chances
Its all good. you're a fair poster and I take feedback from posters that conduct like yourself in an instant. So my apologies for being impacted last night. (but really due to the previous month of viewing here)
I think there are a lot of positive signs but that Chiasson looked like a better fit than anybody we've seen thus far is good and bad. Chiasson is a notoriously up and down player who will have nights like that and then be benched and scoreless after in his doldrums.
We can be optimistic about how one night went, holding our own against a formidable club. But this club is going balls to the wall and maintaining an effort level and using up their big guns to a degree that won't be sustainable. Unfortunately this is a lineup bereft of depth. The best we can hope for is some of the border offensive players like Reider, Strome, Lucic, Pulju heat up. We absolutely require it.
