VanIsleNuckFan Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 2 hours ago, oldnews said: Yep - moving Sutter to Beagle's wing, imo wasn't a 'strategic' decision but a necessary one that makes the team more vulnerable. It's not so much the faceoffs - as the defensive role in general - but what can you do if Sutter and Miller are injured - they have to lean on EP and Gaudette. EP has elevated his game remarkably - Gaudette has had some extremely challenging, long shifts in his zone. 100%, did you also notice he lost a gear also? He has noticeably slowed down and is pushing less. I think him Miller and Brock are playing hurt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think thats unfair on Motte... he has been a revelation during these playoff, but we could have used a ‘heavy’ bruiser willing to hit anything with a heartbeat on that line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have many chances at the Cup. In fact, I think we're going to win it several times with this team. Sorry, nope, in 2011 and for a few years after we were by far the best team in the league but we weren’t the best playoff team, we are headed down that same road. We may have some great regular season success by we are far far away from a cup without some serious changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean to imply that this exact team will win us cups down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only two guys I'd even consider taking out to insert Mac - Gaudette and Virtanen. Given two of our centers are sporting hand/wrist injuries Virtanen is really the only choice.
