Goaltending and the defensive structure have been very disappointing.
I think they stick with upl Friday though - Boss34
Back to back games, Levi will get 1. Hope he plays well. I don't want Lindy hesitant to use him. |

That’s a good point, with back to backs.
Still think it’s upl at home Friday vs the islanders.
In general, I think we see a hot handed approach.
2 cold hands currently |

The FL loss was disappointing but I’m not disappointed. If UPL can get it together and we play a bit better on D, we are looking much better than last year.
Cozens is the glaringly obvious problem IMO. Quinn close behind.
Rest I can live with or are exceeding my expectations |

This will probably sound crazy, but with the way McLeod and that 3rd line is playing. How about a little mix up here and since the Supposed 3rd line is playing 2nd line minutes anyways
JJ Tage Tuch
Greenway McLeod Zucker
Cozens Wahlberg Kulich/Quinn/Benson
Beck Krebs Lafferty/Nak |

The change is just wanting Wahlberg? Any reason to think he's ready for that?

I'd guess Levi Friday, just to balance UPL's workload.

No, just trying to see if he could bring a spark. He gets on top of the puck quicker than I expected, maybe his forecheck could open things up for his linemates. |

I like the thought of Quinn - Kulich - Cozens myself.
I wouldn't disrupt Zucker - McLeod - Greenway as it has been effective. That said, when Benson comes back I would consider going Benson - Cozens - Quinn and consider Kulich at 3RW next to McLeod.
All of that, I am not far from trying McLeod with combination of Cozens and Quinn to get those 2 going.

I think it's way too soon to think about him. Likely going to need 2 years in Roch.
The answers are supposed to be Kulich or Rosen this year. Hoping anyone has jumped over them 1 month in is desperate.

Quinn doesn't look right, he looks decent D wise but doesn't have the skating to get free offensively. Gets suffocated |

Kulich's play with McLeod and Greenway Saturday is what got him benched. I don't think they'll be going back to that anytime soon. Quinn/Benson, McLeod, Greenway is a real possibility.
Going to need a roster move, when Benson is ready. I'd still guess it's Kulich.

It's always to early to look at these guys supposedly! Well now we have a bunch we don't know what we have because we waited. |

19 year old 2nd rounders are a rare sight in the NHL for a reason.

You know who their C's are.
I didn't think you were suggesting Wahlberg at C. He's not playing there in Roch.

baltimore is going to be tough down the stretch
my guess is the emergence of Keon the last few weeks made Beane content with the wr group
my fear is if one of the big 3 wr's go down, we miss a few beats
I think houston should have been all in on johnson - homiedclown
The Bills can’t beat Baltimore with the Defensive system we’re using. They can run the ball all day. |

Nope he's playing RW, but has Won 56% of the Faceoffs he's taken. |

Opinion piece from phinland, the seat is indeed getting warmer.
“But this year was supposed to be different. However, all this season has done is remind us that all the forward progress Miami made under Mike McDaniel was fool’s gold.“

Meanwhile, in Finland, Stars and Panthers face off Friday at 2pm, and Saturday at noon from Tampere. Barkov’s hometown. Should be two good games. Stars have a few Finns of their own. The atmosphere is going to be nutty. |

Would you consider
- Cozens+ for a true Top 4 RhD
- Byram+ for a 2C
I would include Quinn in that decision, but he has zero worth. |
