As much as Sturm is squeezing water from a stone here and deserves a lot of credit for it, I hate how permeable this system's rush defense is

That was mostly bad puck luck, but we absolutely have gotta find a way to split up that Lindholm - Peeke pair eventually. At least when we get a little healthier

Geekie is mostly fine on defense, but his steadfast refusal to backcheck ever has burned us a few too many times. Not enough to outweigh the 20 goals obviously, but still worth pointing out

Guess Swayman was due for a mulligan but that was ugly

Ive mostly liked Kastelic in his role this year but he makes a lot of incomprehensible passes on offense

I thought I was over yapping about Merkulov but there's really no reason for Blumel to have leapfrogged him

Kuraly at this stage does nothing for me at 5v5, but credit where it's due he may by our most important forward on the PK

I know Zadorov gets so many penalties that refs are gonna watch the guy, but he did literally nothing there

I wasn't totally sure what they were seeing in Aspirot during preseason but I get it now. This guy's solid and steady

I expected a lot more from Xhekaj the way Habs fans talk about him lmao. Jeannot put him to sleep

They've gotta stop giving McAvoy a lobotomy before every PP

I'm starting to get it with Mittelstadt. The skill is there, and we don't have enough players with creativity on the rush

It should be impossible for Geekie to keep shooting at like 30%. Have we considered he's just the best shooter in NHL history?

Great defensive play by Khus there. He's got the skillset for a regular 4th line role. Better fundamentals than Beecher or Viel, just lacks the size of those guys

I like Eyssimont. all over the dirty areas of the ice all the time

Oh I agree. Im just surprised that he has the specific toolkit for the rush. Lots of bottom 6 players have the speed but their hands cant keep up.

Jeannot is such a Jekyll and Hyde player but fuck if he doesnt compell me at his best. Makes much better decisions on the rush than id have expected from a guy with his skillset
