Rick Sadowski: Roy shakes up lines

Talbot is offensively talent-less, so that's a joke. I feel Tanguay-Duchene-Iginla had some good chemistry going. There's been too much line shuffling this year, that's part of the problem why we can't score.

Maybe coach needs him to produce more in fantasy???

Barrie is useless right now and he was useless tonight. Now, I'm not necessarily knocking Barrie, but the way he is being utilized this season he is more of a liability than an asset.
Is he a forward who can't score or a defenseman who can't play defense? Roy needs to figure out which way to go with Barrie. Either put him on a forward line or keep him on defense and keep him from going past the blue line.
LOTS of things that worked last year haven't even come CLOSE to working this year. Pulling the goalie early, having the D jump up every time down the ice... Barrie and Holden have been two of the biggest detriments to this year's team.
Holden needs to be sent down (at best) and Barrie needs to be re-trained to play defense first and ONLY jump up when more than one skater is back on D.
EJ and Hejda are finally starting to come around. If we can get MacKinnon scoring and O'Reilly contributing again, we'll be a much more balanced team and maybe we'll stop losing so many close games.

Barrie is playing with Guenin.....GUENIN, as soon as they get rid of that pairing he is going to back to doing what he does best. I can't remember, but it was posted a few weeks/months ago Barries CF% with and without Guenin and its shocking how much of an anchor that guy is.
