I see galchenyuk more as a shooter, let drouin set him up, it has not worked with Patch thus far.
I like this configuration, id just switch Shaw and Plek or Shaw and DLR
Galchenyuk does not seem to be a player that can dominate the puck by himself like Drouin. He needs someone to get him the puck, more like pacioretty.
I have to admit he does look a little lost out there and at this point I'm not sure how much more he can learn. I HOPE it's just a lack of confidence.
I don't see why they bother putting Galchenyuk on the 4th line?
If he is ever going to be successful it's not there.
If you're trying to send him a message why not just put him in the press box?
The sample size is too small to draw any conclusions about this team. The regular season started less than a week ago.
I say 10 more games in and we will have a much more accurate picture.
There is a solid chance that Rad gets old in a hurry. In a year or two that might be a terrible contact. MB is leaving the option open to sign younger players.
The GM's in the NHL have plan with the long term in mind.
It was really close and didn't go our way.
The decision to either keep or fire MB has to be based on much more than the result of one series. Would you want him fired regardless of the result against the Rangers?
Should Chicago fire Bowman and Quinnville?
