Offseason working on his shot, don't think this year is a fluke. For once we may trade or lose him and he stays a 40-50 goal scorer for the next 3 years. All he does is snipe goals out of nowhere.

I mean, he was scoring this way throughout the second half of last season, it's not outta nowhere

 

But yeah, he likely gone 

 

Making management look more and more dumb with each goal scored 

 

I know he had a fantastic finish to last season, but realistically would you have ever come into a season expecting Horvat to score 40-50 goals? I don't think I would have.

I mean our goaltending has been equally bad.

 

That Ehlers goal doesn’t go in on an NHL goaltender.

Yes true but we have to reply on AHL goaltending while Winnipeg doesn't have to. Why play around with a potential loss here when this game was circled as an auto win by Winnipeg? They need to change the goalie asap.

I had a thought

Green's system was a stifling defense-first system that kept the whole team back - 1 forechecker + taking long point shots that werent dangerous

OEL/Myers thrived as a defense-first shutdown pair

 

Boudreau bump came when he set the team loose and let them play offense. But they probably kept some of the good defensive habits from Green's system

 

Now all of the Green defending has worn off and its just fast and loose attacking, which accounts for the wildly different play from the OEL-Myers pair + Bo's offensive breakout

Pretty bang on my friend.
