Overall the forwards lack foot speed. better than last year but still slow as a group.LeCaptain wrote:Oglethorpe wrote:Our team is just too slow.
The players are fast, especially the forwards. Team game is what is Cussing slow. It's either the system or the Defensemen.
I wouldn't mind getting a top 10 pick this year that's for sure. Skill is still lacking.

It's easy too look slow when by the time you get the puck there's already 4 opponents in front of you. Think about it, who is slow on the roster? Certainly not McArthur, Turris, Hoffman, Zibanejad, Lazar, Chiasson, Michalek...heck even Condra is pretty fast.
Exception with Boston. Look at Pittsburgh, Chicago, LA.LeCaptain wrote:Go through other teams and you'll see the exact same pattern (for the forwards I mean).
And MacArthur is not average. He has good speed.
Go back to the Boston team that won the cup and tell me who has blazing speed there. They just move the puck so well they look fast.

1. Teams spending to the cap

3. Incredible depth down the middle
Ottawa is 0 for 3 by my count.

Turris, MacArthur and Greening are average.
Chiasson, Stone, Michalek and Smith are below average.
Neil, Legwand and Ryan are slow as dirt.
Only Karlsson and Ceci have good speed on the back end. Phillips and Wiercioch would lose a race with Jason Allison.

We need better defensemen. Wiercioch cannot be on an NHL team. Philips is done.
