Seeing some positive contributions from all 4 lines tonight I'd say. Not often that happens in these parts. 3rd line has got to cash in on a chance soon, it's getting ridiculous.
Koskinen pretty close to perfect again. One unlucky goal against.

Is that third line getting much for great chances? They definitely are doing a good job getting pucks in and grinding away, but have they had a lot of great chances? Tonight, they had 3 shots on goal, two for Kassian and one for Brodziak.
It makes me wonder if the Grumpy Old Men line the Stars had back in the day was really as effective as they seemed then, or if it was just a stupid nickname and the announcers raving about them playing low event hockey that made them seem more effective than they were?
There's a big step up from where we were with those players under McLellan, as they at least have a pulse now, and because of that, they're not leaking goals against...but they aren't exactly scary offensively.
|
I was just thinking tonight - games that I don’t notice 27 - is typically a good thing.
|
Just 11 minutes of ice time for Lucic tonight. Hitchcock has not felt the same pressure to push him up the lineup...
I wonder if Chiarelli hired Hitch, or if that was the Old Boys move?
|
My theory is that McLellan leaned on Lucic to be a leader in the room and relay his messages for him because he doesn't like doing it himself. And he badly needed to try to keep Lucic legitimate in the room and tried to prop him up with opportunity. Hitch deals with players top to bottom on his own, he doesn't need to try to create figureheads that he can use in the room. Letestu was probably one of McLellan's top guys in the room as well, being a good boy being McLellan's echo.
I think it was pretty clear that McLellan didn't care one bit about what Chia wanted. Doubt there was ever pressure that McLellan was giving into to play Lucic. He had his own reasons. Actually doubt he ever actually felt he answered to Chia at all. OBC hire, OBC fire.
