3 out of 4 in a back to back against 2 teams ahead of them. I don?t see how anyone can be upset with this.

And they?re not catching Florida so big deal giving them the extra point.

Just to clarify I'm not upset, I just don't think it was a good game by any measure.
From an X's and O's point of view it was terrible. From an entertainment point of view it was great...pond hockey. Hey if it was the playoffs we wouldn't be so happy but it's regular season, beginning of April and we're up 3 on T Bay, they have a game in hand and up 3 on Boston, equal in games...it's good.

Um. If you measure in goals?

I think the premise of the lineup change was sound, but man, Muzzin-Holl is probably donezo as a possible pairing.

Keefe is either stubborn or stupid. They've been sh*t most of the year and yet he keeps going back to them. Like I said earlier why mess up the lineup. I would have left Muzzin out.
 
I think if you go up against a team that is clearly one of the better ones in the league and clearly show you're in their league and take a point in their building the result is "good" by just about any reasonable measure.

And I think it was more on  Holl. I thought Muzz played pretty well for a guy who missed 20 games. Jill was standing next to the goal scorer 3 times tonight.

No Muzz needs to get back in. You may not like it but he will be an important D man for us. The mistake in hindsight was leaving Holl in over Bushkin. Should have ran Brodie with Muzz and left the other 2 pairs alone.
 
I don?t think Keefe is stupid or stubborn. I do think it?s worth a look after a long layoff to test if certain things that were working before are still reliable today. Good players don?t go bad overnight and chemistry is fickle. Now we know for sure. Give?r a mix.

Rielly can play with Lyubushkin or Brodie
Giordano can play with Liljegren or Brodie
Muzzin can play with Liljegren or Brodie
Sandin can play with Liljegren, Holl, or Lyubushkin but only on 3rd pair
Holl can only seem to work well with Brodie

I understand he's one of your 6 but did he have to go in tonight? That was my point. Teams been winning, playing ok defensively so leave it be for now.

I honestly thought Muzz looked slow. He got beat in foot races really easily.
 
Well that was an exciting game at least. The missed call on Tavares in OT was dreadful. He gave the ref a good death stare.

Holl and Muzzin have played together a lot this year and for the most part have been terrible. Why go back to them? Other than Gio and Lilly none of the D were good. Yes Florida is a high scoring team but pairings last few games looked decent so leave them alone.

12 games left. You have to get Muzzin playing, so yes, they absolutely should have mixed up the pairs.
Agreed. He needs to play and I think Keefe put him back with Holl because they're familiar with each other. They really struggled on the PK which Keefe mentioned in his presser. He also mentioned the shorty goal, the too many men penalty after the Brodie miss and the 4th line.Clifford penalty as mistakes you can't make.
I fully expect Clifford to be out again for a bit and either Abruzzese or Simmonds back in. I'm hoping Bushkin goes in for Holl who did not have a good game.
 
Sorry, but I can't get behind the adjective "good" for any game where you blow a 5-1 lead.

That and watching Radko Freaking Gudas score on our goaltender from approximately Havana is also simply too steep a psychological hill for me to climb.

What a bunch of LOSERS!
Happy I took this year off not watching, actually starting to get happy watching them lose.Where?s that Zamboni driver when you need him.
Another first round exit on the horizon.
