No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

Oh and i see Mitch and Willy are switched back.

Makes sense. The Bert-JT-Willy line was so good.

Hopefully mitch can figure things out.
I want to see Keefe really spread things around and put marner back with Domi and Knies for a few shifts again. Three offensive lines.

Robertson Matthews Jarnkrok/Willy
Bert JT Willy/jarn
Knies Domi marner

Knock the contract demands of marner down a peg or two and have him focus on playing all round a tighter game.
 
Last Year xGA/60 ----> This Year xGA/60

Matthews 2.75 ---> Matthews 2.82 (+0.07)
Marner 2.48 ---> Marner 3.07 (+0.59)
Nylander 2.83 ---> Nylander 2.68 (-0.15)

Tavares 2.56 ---> Tavares 2.70 (+0.15)
Bunting 2.87 ---> Knies 2.92 (+0.05)
Kerfoot 2.27 ---> Bertuzzi 2.31 (+0.04)

Malgin 2.06/Holmberg 2.23/ROR 2.40 ---> Domi 2.92 (~ +0.60)
Jarnkrok 2.59 ---> Jarnkrok 2.90 (+0.31)
Engvall 2.27/Acciari 1.78 ---> Robertson 2.50 / Holmberg 2.28 (~ +0.50)

Kampf 2.49 ---> Kampf 3.49 (+1.00)
ZAR 2.25 ---> Gregor 3.50 (+1.25)
Simmonds 2.55/Lafferty 2.85/Robertson 2.74/Anderson 1.09/Hunt 3.10 ---> Reaves 3.07/McMann 3.01 (~+0.50)



In the forwards, the big conundrum is Mitch falling off badly.

Otherwise, the 3rd liners are unsurprisingly worse defensively but not necessarily by a huge amount.

The 4th liners have been way worse defensively.



Rielly 2.76 ---> Rielly 3.00 (+0.24)
Brodie 2.10 ---> Brodie 2.82 (+0.72)

Sandin 2.55/McCabe 2.45 ---> McCabe 2.97 (~ +0.50)
Liljegren 2.59 ---> Liljegren 2.61 (+0.02)

Giordano 2.44 ---> Giordano 3.19 (+0.75)
Holl 2.53 ---> Klingberg 3.66 (+1.13)

Timmins 2.17 ---> Timmins 2.50 (+0.33)
Benn 2.34 / Schenn 2.89 ---> Lagesson 2.50 (~ +0.00)

Mete 3.30 / Gustafsson 3.15 / Holowell 4.66 ---> Benoit 2.21 (~ +1.00)

Brodie's drop off is a big concern.

McCabe and Gio have worse numbers so far but i think that's likely mostly due to Klingberg being so horrendous. Especially for McCabe.

 
The idea that we don't have room for a talented 22 yr old LW on a team with only one other LW prospect, a 33 yr old 2C and scoring depth issues is wild to me.

Hes the same type of guy screaming for gritty defensive oriented 3rd lines though.
