Well not the start to the season that we were all hoping for.

1. Goaltending is in fact, our achilles heel.

2. Defence is beyond suspect. Jones is clearly not ready for a top 4 role. Bear is clearly not ready for a top 2 role. Nurse is clearly not ready for top dog role.

3. Bottom 6 completely ineffective (again) and getting hammered 5v5 (again).

4. Powerplay has gone 2 for 11, putting more pressure on the clear and present need for 5v5 scoring.

5. We need Supergirl to save us.

On the bright side, game time is at a more accustomed 7 pm MST, which is 9 EST. Hopefully the Habs come out flat footed tomorrow night, but then again they've had a few days to get acclimated to the earlier time zone.

RNH-McDavid-Kassian (Until Jesse puts up some points and grabs this spot away from Kass)
Kahun-Draisaitl-Yamamoto
Ennis-Turris-Puljujarvi
Nygard-Shore-Archibald


Nurse-Barrie (Time for both to show that they deserve big time pay raises)
Koekkoek-Bear (Give Bear softer match-ups to help him get his feet under him)
Bouchard-Larsson (Get Bouch some reps, start to have the teams bottom 6 to start using the D to help create offense)

Man. Klefbom might not be a perfect top defence man but does it ever show how much it hurts when you lose a guy of his overall skill set that can eat as many quality minutes as he does.

It’s not surprising to see a step back for Bear and Jones but the timing couldn’t be worse. A real sore spot the past 15 years has been D playing up one or two spots from where they should be. A good 5/6 looks god awful as a 3

The organization is developing some depth at the position, but there are definitely some deficiencies at the moment and they have been plain to see for games 1-3.
