I’m not sure we can ask for better line combos than that.

If Eichels line comes out and scores a *****-tonne does this actually push RK/JB towards the exit?

Eichel's having a career year and Reinhart is close as well.  They've already scored a ton.

[steveoath]

Fair enough. I was merely considering Ralph's reluctance to play them together, followed by his childish remarks about last season. Now they are together when it matters not one bit.

And they both came up empty in the past 5 games when they were needed most. ZERO points from the both of them.

Should have been like that all season.

Maybe but I'm interested in seeing the lines as printed.

I think Jack's.... injury or whatever..... has totally messed up that line.  They keep trying to do what works but the way Jack is playing it's not working right now.

They were needed most just now?  When I'm looking at the season as a whole and trying to figure out why this team can't score goals, I'm not pointing the finger at those two.

I was thinking about this and while I think it makes sense for us as people to think that way it is short sighted. Jack and Sam played very well this year and won us a bunch of games. Without that play these 5 games would have been meaningless. I more depressed that no one other than the GLO line was able to consistently create for this team when the Eichel line slumped. Most of the top lines have a slump here or there (probably not 5 games but easily 1-3) and the best teams keep rolling.

Just wondering why it has been impossible for JBottom to make a second LOG-type line since he came on board.  Is it really that hard to do in the off-season?

[Thorner]

I don't think it makes sense to load up one line generally but, in this case, I would. We aren't going to win anything if Jack isn't scoring, might as well try and get him going.
