Are you just realizing this now? It doesn't help that The Alfie is currently injured.

In all honesty though, it's nice to see that lots of rookies will be getting lots of ice time. There's no way around it...we'll be in tough all year.

The Murrays obviously know more than I do, but why the heck is Da Costa still in the NHL? To play 8 minutes in a checking line role? I really don't see how that's benefiting him. By now I had hoped he'd be getting 17-20 minutes in Bingo and perhaps forming some chemistry down there with Filatov.

If he needs to work on something, then let him do it during the course of prime minutes instead of in practice and on a 4th line that would be more about checking than scoring. Strange stuff.

That's rough looking but hey, who knows, playing with that kind of team on the road can be a lot easier than playing at home. Keep things simple, dump and chase, keep a man high in the zone, off the glass and out. Doesn't need to be pretty this early in the season or on the road. They just need to get back into the hunt for a playoff spot and if they win tonight they are right there.

Anderson needs to have a big game. He was brutal last game vs Colubus as was one of the many players who were part of that mircale.

Because they don't tend to play during the week a whole lot and they haven't made a choice on Zibanejad yet? So what's the point of sending him down until everything is figured out? Regin is an uknown as well at this point.
