I'd rather play Zads and EJ together. Cole and Barrie both haven't looked right for a while now, but were playing better together earlier this season. I'm hoping a trial by fire will help Zads. Also think Graves and G might make a weird good combo. Sadly Nemeth will most likely get that 6th spot again.
The refusal to call up a goalie still mystifies me. Varly and Grubs have been terrible and I'm purely speculating here, but I don't think the team appreciated Grubs statement after his last start. So unless Varly can heal up, get his head on straight or fix whatever the hell is wrong with him. I don't think we'll be winning without putting up 5+ goals a game.
The top line has to remain together. Splitting them up only hurts us. Wilson - Soda - Compher should be the second line and need to remain together for longer than one game before we start changing out line mates again. I know the players haven't been good, but I think it's also partly because they don't have any time to build chemistry before Bednar changes things up again. Let em ride for a few games. I'd also like to run a 3rd line of Ghetto - Kerfy - Calvert. LBN probably deserves Ghettos spot, but Ghetto should hopefully add some scoring to that line. LBN - Dries - Bourque 4th line looks and will be terrible. I'd rather call some guys up, but Joe want's the youngens to develop I guess. Bourque is the biggest blight on this roster of already shallow forward depth. I would love almost anyone else in his place. The roster is so small even a enforcer would server this team better. Then if we're down I could see worse things than double shifting Mack with LBN and Dries.
