  1. The answer as it stands right now is no. Goaltending and defence wouldn’t hold up.

  2. I feel like they should run Monty as starter for the next 4 games and see if the consistent playtime sharpens up his game. The constant rotating obviously isn’t working. I feel like he can only improve, I think the risk reward is worth it at this point

  3. Did he just drop an F-bomb? I think I heard the F-bomb. He’s looking for some FU in future acquisitions, confirmed!

  4. They may be able to beat one team like that, but they can’t beat four playoff teams like that. They need to get more aggressive, and that means getting bigger players.

  5. If we have 2 Xhekajs, Anderson, Struble who can hit and fight and Bolduc, Guhle, Blais who can hit and another big boy in Slaf, I think we would be fine in size and grit but goaltending and consistency overall is still a struggle. Although goaltending could change with a hero goaltending streak (goaltending is voodoo) which can always happen and maybe Fowler having one of those random amazing rookie goalie playoffs.
