Wether we like it or not.. You need high end skill to beat great defensive teams.. Cogliano and ailf are dragging kesler down.
I like their odds at scoring a goal with 5 minutes left a lot better with Vatanen in the lineup, that's for sure. I'm not sure why Pirri was out there to end the game. I would have gotten Lindholm/Perron/Rakell/Getzlaf/Perry/Fowler out there
Why no love for our other Swedes?

I am leaning more toward keep Vatanen, trade Fowler for ransom.
His shot is his greatest asset. Don't mind the idea of giving him a chance and letting him run with it or play himself off it. Let him decide his fate.

I know you'll get some flack for that on here because everyone is in love with Fowler, but I'm starting to be ok with that line of thinking as well
It's not that whatsoever, and it's not that I completely disagree with Sauced either. When Vatanen was asked to fill Fowler's shoes, his offense completely dried up. That's what will be asked of him if Fowler is traded because he wont get those sweetheart matchups that he gets now and Fowler ALLOWS Vatanen to have those opportunities. I understand that Vatanen is more dynamic offensively, and arguably more important during key offensive situations. However, that doesn't take in to account the majority of the moments that the opposing team is on the ice, and Fowler is expected to shut them down.
I could go on, and this isn't even taking in to consideration of could you sign Vatanen to a better deal for the team then Fowler's current deal?

His offense didn't completely dry up, the whole team couldn't put the puck into the ocean. His assist numbers would be much higher if the team wasn't complete **** half the season.
there are two others lines that should be scoring. And Silf and Cogs weren't dragging Kes down last game, but because they go a game without a point, they are dragging him down now and need to go.
That was easily the most boring game I have ever attended

Didn`t saw the game. Anyone have a scouting report on Pirri from this one?

As someone who also attended, I couldn't agree more with this. If this is what "playoff hockey" is supposed to be this day in age I'm going to be upset. You can't let teams hook, hold, interfere, etc. to no end and expect any excitement. That Getzlaf slash was ridiculous, that slash happens literally 10+ times per game. I'm fine with calling it, but then call it everytime! Not a fun game to attend.
Nothing to see, i missed 1st period but 2nd and 3rd were just enough for decent assessment.Didn`t saw the game. Anyone have a scouting report on Pirri from this one?
