Well he sure as hell doesn't seem to be a part of the solution.
How many even strength goals has he been on the ice for tonight?

And no goaltending.
And their top forwards are slumping hard. Forsberg, no goals. Neal, no goals.
Pekka Rinne may just be done.
And as I've said before, their defense is just pooched right now.

Yup.
Positive possession is what it's all about.
It must be something else...but certainly not Shea Weber. His advanced stat "body of work" comfirms otherwise.

I don't think there's an advanced stat for that so Shaw isn't worth much. Neither is being a pain in the ass to play against, or a massive hulking rearguard that brings mountains of leadership that gives opposing forwards reason to think twice before going in the corner.

PK may not be the problem but not having Weber may be a problem.

And I still need to be convinced you can be considered a cup contender with that top six.

He wasn't on the ice for the second one.
And he was hardly at fault on the first one IMO.

Yes. I had them winning the west and losing to Tampa Bay. its early, but not looking good......don't really see a contender in the west yet. not sold on Dallas completely, maybe San Jose again. I think Chicago, Anaheim, and LA have seen better days....Colorado,Minnesota anyone?
Sharks look like best bet now....I'll wait on Nashville,its early.

It's early.
Montreal started the season 10-2-2 last year and didn't make the playoffs. Let's not blow our loads after 7 games.

Last year, if we were not the 3rd most injured team in the league, arguably second most when you consider the leafs had robidas and Horton on their roster, we make the playoffs.
Granted I don't think we are going to be a 152 point team. But I think post season is in the cards as long as we stay healthy.
Unless carey blows his knee out again, I don't think we need to worry.
