Anyone left in the “Tage isn’t good” crowd? Anyone?

It’s too bad E-Rod isn’t a scorer

Like I have been saying about him, if it’s not a 2 on 1 he has no idea what to do!!!!

- Stripes77


It's not a coincidence he's on so many 2-on-1s. He creates them with his speed

Yes. Maybe keeping Rhino with Sheary when Jack comes back will help spread out the scoring?

Should be 7-1 if Erod and Sheary could finish those passes.

middle six is tricky, there's still some uncertainty with the 2/3C spot, may determine if an outside add is needed.

But I think they envision their third line being productive long term, not a shut down line so a regular spot in the top 9 could definitely be his.

Pretty early to project next season. I really like Asplund as a 3C, when he's ready.

Is he going to score enough at the NHL level to be the center for a 3rd line that will be expected to provide offense along with defense?

Really needed a period like that. LOVED the shorty. Huge block by Jake and a great play by Rodrigo. Larry P looked happy

I assume we'll be back to just him and skinner scoring. The scoring tonight is a fluke.

He really likes that fake shot-pass on the odd man rush. It works well. Too bad it's an assist and like many other things, assists dont matter.

Who knows.....but the current guy has 3 goals and just got promoted to the top line.

I just liked what I saw of him this summer and they do really need some strong two way forwards. Relying so heavily on Larsson is not healthy.

I'd agree but we put up 9 already this season.

Perhaps the young players we have need more than 40 games to reach their full potential. Perhaps they will get better as they learn. Perhaps. Perhaps not.

I'm just saying don't expect CJ, Casey, and Pilut to start lighting the lamp on a regular basis all of a sudden. Perhaps they all turn into great players. Perhaps our scoring remains crappy the rest of the season.

Pilut with Dahlin looked a little shaky.

What is this called when multiple lines score again?

I've heard of this before I think.

I guess if you’re gonna try it, up 5-1 in the 3rd is a good time.
