Benson in for all the people arguing with me of his greatness. Let's see something. I am more than happy to be wrong about him.
|
Will be most interested in how ice time is handled. Ryan on NUge's wing is interesting. Nice to see JP up. I would not doubt that Steelcroft will try pushing Benson after years of relying on him. It's do or die time for him.
|
I am curious with ice time as well. The 4th liners under Tippett unless they killed penalties didn't get a ton of ice time. So we will see if they get a few more mins.
I do like the 3 centers. I think they need to keep it no matter what.
If Benson can't get traction under Woody, he never will.
The defense with out Keith is scary to me. Lagesson doesn't do anything for me. I wonder if we will see Broberg soon. I think he came off covid not that long ago so I wonder if that played a part in not putting him in. I do like them playing Niem. He has a dimension the team severely lacks in my opinion.

Your best centers need to be playing center. I'm hoping 'loading up' becomes a rare event.
Probably one of the easiest things to address is pick support when possession is achieved in the D zone, that's gone away. Mind you when you're down early in games you're pushing for offense game after game, so that's probably at the root of it. It remains that the forward group has to present outlets to the D when trying to exit the D zone. Pretty basic hockey.
I want to see a bottom 6 that's usable enough to take 5v5 time and some overall minutes off the hands of the top players. LD would benefit tremendously if he had something left late in games. We've seen Connor, Leon and Nurse more than once out for brutally long shifts just prior to OT for God's sake under Tippett, and that's not just trying to tie the game. Senseless, and LD goes into stiff legged slow mode in OT. I'm hoping we see an improvement on deployment under the new coach.
