Still not sold on Gibson… never was from the start. To me he looks like Husso 2.0 version. Gets caught out of position too often and I see the puck go through him.. which shouldn’t happen to a goalie. Hope he proves me wrong. He’s a stop-gap at best. Cossa is ready to come up. Put Gibson on waivers if he doesn’t shape up quick. Now if we could just keep getting some secondary scoring. Our defensemen are terrible at helping with secondary scoring… last in the NHL I just read. That needs to change. This team still needs to dump Compher, Rasmussen and Berggren. I wouldn’t mind keeping Copp if he could actually provide more offense on a consistent basis, but he would have to do a full 180 degrees for that to happen (which I don’t think will). Time to cut the dead weight and bring up some Griffins… Leonard, Lombardi and maybe Wallin on defense. Would really like to see this team get more aggressive on the PK. They still look timid and fall back letting the other team pass the puck around and do whatever they want. It’s not quite as bad as last year… but still pretty bad. PP still looks solid. We really need more 5-on-5 scoring on a consistent basis or forget the playoffs.
Good news indeed for the team if players start to play and score : happy for JVR, ASP, Danielson and Kasper. Gibson too, what a game. The long trip seems to tighten the team, though they were maybe outplayed if you look at the stats.
I wonder if everyone is motivated by the olympics (Kane, Larkin, Mo…) and hope they will not get too tired coming back (or worse, injured) and still okay to get back on track for the run.
As you said it, this year is a bit crazy and so tight that until the last game, maybe three or four or five teams can make it or lose it by one point !The Detroit Red Wings have recently challenged the entire team to dig deeper. Consequently, John Gibson has stepped up and started to shine.
