This was a great graphic for them to put up. Really puts everything in perspective.

I was really hoping someone was going to post this. Hard to believe we actually iced that team a year ago.

Holy shit, Soderblom made the 3rd line!

So much better, hope they exceed all expectations.

That lineup scored 6 on Tampa

Yes we’ve made massive player changes and signed some incredible talent but we still had some pretty solid talent last season too. I think the biggest impact was ridding the team of Blash. I am fucking thrilled to see connecting passes and communication. No more dump and chase hockey. Trust in the Yzerplan always!

What are we gonna do with Fabbri and Suter?

2 forwards on the 2nd line last year were healthy scratches today. And it wasn’t because they suddenly got worse. That’s a huge sign of how far the roster has gone to now be a legit NHL level at each line.

The Yzerplan is in full swing

The entire left D unit, the fourth line and most of the second line aren’t good enough to make the current lineup. That says so much. I don’t know if we’ll make the playoffs, but I have a very good feeling we’ll be in the hunt until the very end of the season.
