    I mean, what a disgrace. Absolutely no offensive talent without Nash, Cally and Hagelin. Turned it off.

    Even with them back this is not a great club. This roster sucks.

    For the first time I'm starting to wonder a bit if Lundqvist definately will re-sign.

    Blows my mind we went into this year without adding another legitimate scorer. Injuries are going to happen, and this team is not nearly deep enough to deal with even one. I mean Taylor Pyatt as a first liner? Does it get any worse than that?

    It doesn't matter. Lundqvist has been garbage is far this year but you are not going to win w 7 4th line forwards getting minutes

    Yea, we need more firepower, that much is visible to anyone, but it's gotta start with Henrik. He needs to play at his usual level and start "stealing" a game to get this team back on track.

    It's kind of hard to play goal when other forwards can stand in front of your goalie and never take an ounce of abuse. See the third goal from last night.

    I agree with that dump. To me our focus on D has gone from a PP QB, I think the guys we have can get that done on a passable level, to the need for a big brusing dman to clear the crease and make it uncomfortable for other teams. Who do we have like that?

    To QB the PP I think Moore, Staal, even McD have some ability there. To be physical and clear the crease and strike fear in the other team, I see no one really. Maybe in 2016 we will have McIlrath for that...:).
