Good:
Mojo has the ability fill that role we were worried about so much. But...
Dahlin. His strength regimen this summer paid off he is going toe to toe with Nick Foligno and handling it. Needs to curb his temper. Cost two penalties but not complaining yet.
Skinner sighting.
Goaloffson is a weapon.
Miller looked good
Got a point
Linus kept us in it.

Bad:
Jack. Need better.
Defense sans Dahlin and Risto.
Vesey. The rumblings from the summer should be getting louder. He looks too slow to play with the line he is on and there really is no other options.
The Vlad experiment has run its course. He tries. He cares. He simply doesn’t add anything to Jeff and Mojo. It is almost like being short handed.

Ugly:
Nothing it is only game 3. Shake it off Habs coming to town.

Did Reinhart even play tonight?

G:
- Dahlin (with the exception of a couple of shifts)
- VO's shot
- Getting a point we didn't deserve
- Line 4

B:
- We got outplayed heavily
- Scandella, McCabe, Jokiharju, Mittelstadt, Sobotka, Vesey


U:
- Eichel's turnover

I think the top line needs a shakeup as well..just not a lot going for them so far.

The only line I really want to touch atm is Erod in for Vesey. I'd actually like to leave the lines alone for a while, let the chemistry build. No one except Sobotka is wildly out of where they should be.

I'd put E-Rod in for Sobotka. Vesey was the least bad part of his line.....he's certainly tenacious on the boards. He might be a really nice fit with MoJo and Skinner.
I'd like this very much. Get some fresh legs going before we go west and force him into a game. Give Vesey or Sheary a shot now. Only thing you lose with Vlad is PK, which didn't look good with him.

Olofsson amd Johansson are real deal players.

Joker and Miller are quality top 6 defensemen.

Wild cards for the rest of the year.
-Can Mitts become an impact player. If he can they have a real shot at the playoffs and being dangerous.
-Will Asplund, Erod and Tage get the chance and succeed with replacing Sobotka, Vesey.

There is no way to "shake-up" the first line. You don't have another RW, your 2nd line C is doing spot duty, and only an idiot would change VO

Not 100% sold on Joker yet. Not his potential but his current play. Incredible first pass and can move the puck beautifully. But in our end with pressure or against physical play he is a mess quite frequently.
