True, but you gotta work through that. Also we havent had many PP's either on the road trip...that also hurts. Either way he needs to play better, a lot better because Miller can't stay this hot forever.

Our PP has been god awful lately. I wouldn't be surprised if we weren't 28th or worse in the NHL.

I feel like Kevin, I post my first main page blog and I get Garth'ed.

Looks like you got Kevin'd as well

I like it too. If they are creating good chances and scoring keep them together. No reason to risk killing another line by dropping Roy on it.

Where are you guys getting that its Roy killing that line? I guess facts arent needed here.

Lets break it down.

Vanek had 2 pts (1G, 1A) in 12 games in Jan. 6 pts (3G, 3A) in 10 games in Feb. 0 pts in 2 games in Mar.

Roy had 2 pts (1G, 1A) in 10 games in Jan. 11 pts (5G, 6A) in 13 games in Feb. and 0 pts in 2 games in Mar.

Pommer had 8 pts (5G, 3A) in 12 games in Jan. 12 pts (6G, 6A) in 13 games in Feb. and 0 pts in 2 games in Mar.

All 3 players increased their production when they all got put together for the month of February.

Roy is not hurting anybody. The person I see hurting that line if you can say they are even hurting is Vanek. They'll get pressure in the offensive zone and Vanek is in the wrong spot on the ice to keep it going because hes lazy and standing around. Always the last to backcheck. Vanek has looked like absolute poop. Roy is at least skating around out there trying to make plays. For as big as Vanek is, you never see him in corners battling for pucks. Its a shame.[/img]

They are trying to force everything. They are not gaining zone presence and trying to set it up. They will quickly try and look for that break immediately entering the zone.
