The point is Ryder was a goal scorer doing nothing - much like Ryder. The bruins media was saying Ryder should be pulled from the lineup. Julian stuck with him because he has the potential to score. On the other hand, the habs have 6 guys that have true offensive ability (Ak46, Pleks, Cammy, Gionta, Eller and Deshernais), however, three of those guys are playing with checkers or Gomez (who is just plain awful on both sides of the ice).
I've been saying since before the last game that they should scratch Moen for Pouliot and move Desharnais and Eller with Gionta so there is another line that is a threat.
Right now, our lines have no balance. To top it off, we have two Dman (Spacek/Sopel) who can't even clear their zone.
The only lines that have been dangerous are the Pleks and Gionta lines and the Gionta line is handcuffed with Gomez and Eller.
YES - Eller's line comes though!!!!!! I had pretty much given up on Halpern!
