With the exception of those 2-3 minutes where the Habs were stuck in their zone, I've like the speed our boys have shown out there. Not perfect, but much better than the past 6-7 games!

god we need a number 2 d-man... screw this "big center" thing

 

They've got a lot of holes.

 

Ideally, they need at least one center.

 

A number two D man, too.

 

Then, there are only 4 teams in the league with only 1 player over 14 goals. So there's scoring.


They suck at faceoffs and the penalty kill, so a specialist like Manny Malhotra wouldn't hurt.

 

So, three big pieces and a biscuit? Most contenders are looking for "the final piece."

^that...but in order to fill the gaps we need to move players like Chuck and N8...its unfortunate but its a reality we have to face up to...

You constantly call Beaulieu out on here though(that's not to sound like a dick at all)Petry has been just as bad, yet he catches no heat 

 

They need someone with foot speed on the top pair. Emelin is behind on everything. He needs out of there for atleast a bit

 

That's fair.  I'm not a big Beaulieu fan.  Basically, I don't like low IQ players and I would put Beaulieu in that category.  He has the skill to be a quality top four player but his head is holding him back (and I don't think it's going to change either).  There are bad plays and there are stupid plays.  Both Beaulieu and Petry have struggled as of late but I'd put a lot of Petry's mistakes in the first category (he's prone to a panicked decision in particular) and quite a few of Beaulieu's in the second one.

 

Short-term, I think Markov has to be tried there even though that's far from ideal on a long-term basis.  He's not quick by any stretch but he's smart and that should take some of the pressure off of Weber.  The question then becomes how to manage his special teams minutes to avoid him playing 22+ minutes a game.

Interesting analysis. I was thinking earlier in the year that our D would be scary.. in a nice way.

:rastapop: no no I don't like that one. Price gets hurt we are dead, maybe byron could take the high hard one while Carey is still in the dressing room. Low fives are ok but the guy who started that seems to be missing from the roster.
