Description

I can't really complain about the things I normally complain about after tonight, so I won't even try it.

That said, even in our triumph, Josh Bailey has been not great. When Beauvillier returns, I'd like to see Bailey's role reevaluated. He's not a bad player by any means, but something is just off right now. I think in a reduced role, giving Pageau some help on that 3rd line would be a good spot to stick him in. Meanwhile, Wahlstrom would move up to 2RW, he's been very good and I think could help spark Nelson. MDC had a nice game against Pittsburgh but was pretty iffy tonight. I think he can stay, assuming Beauvillier comes back on Thursday (not guaranteed), but if he has another poor performance (lowest CF% and xGF% on the team by a longshot tonight) Bellows should go back in 100%. And then I'd just let them play until they hit another snag. I think this is as good as it's gonna get until someone gets injured or they finally retire the 4th line (which was very, very good tonight, in large part due to Cizikas being Cizikas).

No complaints with the defense tonight either. Pelech was incredible tonight, his underlying numbers were mediocre kinda, but if you watched, you know he was great. He does all of the little stuff right and was rewarded with a point tonight. Andy Greene also impressed me, his offense is nonexistent, but he did some good defensive stuff which I appreciated. Would still like to see Aho get in soon, but can't take anything away from Greene tonight.

We've got some momentum now, hopefully we can ride it a bit longer and pick up some more Ws.

if Wahlstrom played like Bailey he'd have a one way ticket back to Sweden the next day.

Really don't know. Gotta get Leddy his TOI I guess. At least he's playing every night, hopefully his time will increase as the season goes on.

Bailey has been kinda brutal lately. As soon as Beau comes back, he's gotta go to the 3rd line. Like it or not (and I hate it), that line probably has the smallest role of the 4 forward lines, so reducing his responsibility and allowing him to figure out what his issue is could be the best thing for him. I'd even demote him before Beauvillier comes back honestly and give Bellows or Wahlstrom a shot in the top 6

He was getting 17-20 min of ice time through the first 8 games, last game he had 15 min and last night 11. Against Pitt he was on for 2 goals for and Lee’s PP goal, last night he started off strong , looked pretty dynamic in the Ozone. Pretty weird considering Leddy-mayfield have been underwhelming this season (as a pairing, I think Leddy has been better than expected) .

Yes, I've actually liked Leddy too. He has his warts, but he's driving play well and has been competent defensively.

Mayfield on the other hand....if we lose him for expansion reasons, I don't think I'd shed a tear

Leddy-Mayfield is a low IQ pairing. The reason why Leddy is driving play is bc trotz is allowing him to take risks and use his instincts (he wasn’t able to do that with boychuk) . That’s why you also a new aggressive side to pelech.

Mayfield was carried by toews - he seems to always make the wrong decisions in the D zone and goaltending usually bails him out.

Give me Leddy-Dobson, Greene-mayfield

And if you're gonna have Greene and Mayfield together, you might as well have Aho with Mayfield, because I don't want to see Greene and Mayfield stuck in their own end all night

Yeah obviously I want to see Greene out of the lineup, but I don’t see that happening. Pelech-pulock, Leddy-Dobson is like having two 1st pairings, so it’s worth it IMO
