Love the post Panzer, and I tend to agree about playing different come playoff time. I will lean on the side of Gallant and these players understanding how they need to play to win in the playoffs. Guys like Kane and Tara, who have won cups, know it. It cannot be fancy East-West. I think we'll see more straight line play, and we'll be better for it. I still say it all comes down to the 3rd line though. They are our differentiator. Grit or skill, we are skill. They have to produce. No coincidence they did in the playoffs last year and we went to the ECF. Even the recent hot streak before the more recent struggles, Chytil was on fire, and the line was playing well, again no coincidence. We will go if they go in the playoffs. That's how I feel.
He's been the only name thrown out on this board or perhaps the AHL coach but who cares about a replacement when it's firing time?
