Kardinal often says " do you want to win or do you want to be entertained?"
I'd like to think we could have both.
Jacques Martin had them playing very tight defensive but entertaining hockey. Tough forecheck, speed and skill in attack, good in their own end. We won't talk the playoffs...
Remember the start of the season when there were questions if Smith is going to be held back after his 25-goal season last year? Where is his goal-scoring this year? Has Pageau got more than an empty-netter this year?
I am really surprised that Turris is the only consistent scorer. Ryan and his fingers have been a bust. Brassard is a hard worker but just so low on confidence right now. Boucher has to press the right buttons and get him going.
And Karlsson is going for a new record on missed shots. Never seen him miss the net so much. The other D are struggling to get any shots through or are just too slow to be a threat offensively. Ceci is the only one with a marginal improvement but only on his defensive side - nothing offensively.
