We are not good, but we are not bad. Very middle of the pack and I’ll take that.

The goods? The top 9.

The bad? Larsson and Russell. Time to bring in Bouchard/ Legasson or Jones. Changing of the guard.

NO way in my opinion can Bouchard be any worse defensively than Larsson has been. You might get the odd offensive play out of Bouchard.


Gotta be something up with Larsson. His effort is just terrible out there. Sucks. Larsson-Klef was a legit top pair (mainly cause of Klef obviously) back in 16/17. Both guys just broken down messes now.

If Larsson is playing 14 mins like tonight, and not even doing it well. It's time for Bouchard.


He may just not be as good. He had some injury problems a while back, maybe he never fully recovered?

He only played 14 minutes tonight, the least of any defender for the team by a ways. It wouldn't shock me at all if he comes out next game and we see Bouchard finally. Either that or they go seven defenceman and alternate Bouchard up in his spot.

I will say, given the Tippett love of veterans, I can't see him moving both Russell AND Larsson out of the lineup, especially after a win. I think they'll forgive the own goal and Russell stays in no matter what (although I'd have Bear or Lagesson in over him every night).

Fun game all the same though. No obviously horrible goals against from Koskinen, although he's not doing a lot to improve his stats. Defence was a bit of an adventure, but McDavid came through and top two lines looked really good. I'd like to see some production out of Kahun soon - still just 0-1-1 and only 13 shots through 8 games. Only guy in the top six without a shot on goal tonight - but both those lines were buzzing. 24 shots from the other 5 guys on those lines.

Depth could be better still - surrendered more than they created yet again - but hey, they scored!!! So we'll give them a break there.

I did think that when Neal moved to that line with Turris and Kassian, they did a lot better, other than the goal against of course.
