The game was pretty much what I expected, but it was nice that Monahan didn't show up the star players on his team.

Boy KC has been MIA for a while now. KC, Vilardi, Ehlers, Nino, Scheifele (though he looked motivated tonight), Morrisey, Perfetti, Iafallo all offensive black holes.

Games tonight's lines have played together this season:
1st: Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi - 4th game 2nd: Perfetti-Monahan-Ehlers - 1st game 3rd: Niederreitter-Lowry-Appleton - 40+ games 4th: Barron-Namestnikov-Iafallo - 1st game
Hopefully more familiarity will bring better results....

This right here. Not an excuse. It's just pre-season.

Defence wins hockey games< however not scoring goals is largely a result of coaches neuturing offense? You gotta score goals too dammit? The peices got to fit? Dillon with the Boner move?

Can't get much worse than zero goals in a loss. Nowhere to go but up.

There are no easy games in their future from now on. The team has deep psychologic scars from last year.They have to learn to play with the new lines fast, before, as Lenny says, the lack of scoring becomes chronic. Otherwise, I think they will trip over their skate laces.

Otherwise, I think they will trip over their skate laces. You know ek, I hope it's not a comfort level setting in. It will be virtually impossible for them to finish less than 3rd, barring a complete meltdown. The 1st period lack of intensity in a lot of recent games is worrisome. They are 30th in the league in 1st period scoring. That's a dangerous trend down the stretch, with a lot of teams hungry for points.The team that gives up the 1st goal loses 66% of the time. This team needs to get up to speed earlier or they'll be chasing it more often.
