    Edvinsson doing what was expected, 1D minutes with the hope that you get more offense from him than JayBouw.

    I wanted to spotlight both. The first pair was very good under the circumstances. Fire any other D into the sun.

    All this talk about the shitty defense but this also seems bad

    Oh yeah it’s all pretty bad right now. We have 2/6 D that can competently move the puck and 5/12 forwards you can rely on for creating offense. I think there is light at the end of the tunnel to get us competent sooner than later but more work has to be done.

    I wish he was in North America this year. He should be getting a shot on this team at some point this year

    That was a dominant delayed penalty possession by the Devils. I know we lack talent but there is something off with this group. Feels like the systems are bad and the players aren’t bought in.

    That was a terribly soft call. That said, Chiarot is being paid a lot of money because he’s supposed to be hard to play against. He got absolutely manhandled off the puck, directly leading to that goal.

    Christ Lalonde put the Copp line out for OZ faceoff — with how had our offense is that should never happen.

    Flipped it on right as the goal went in.

    The system might not be great but imo the biggest issue is that the defense has maybe 1.5 above average NHL players and the forward group is either too young, overpaid, too old or Dylan Larkin.

    Feels like the FA agent signings two summers ago are gonna be an anchor around this rebuild unless Raymond becomes a super star and some other kids take a step up.

    Talent is the biggest issue to be sure but the little offensive talent we have is being constrained by how conservative Lalonde has us playing.

    I think it's hard to say any of these guys are anchors to our rebuild. We are going to have plenty of cap space and flexibility in offseason. And theoretically not a ton of spots to fill, so can target a couple top guys

    It’s better than still only having 14 shots 8 minutes into the third
