However I wonder what happens if Schremp and even Brule play well enough to make it happen and Tambellini/Lowe forces MacT to work with what they've given him (much like forcing him to work with Brodziak and Pouliot. In the long run we'll be better for it IMO.Bryanbryoilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463233578735448147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123409644010783103.post-19543029759262159832008-12-08T23:50:00.000-10:002008-12-08T23:50:00.000-10:00Bryan...

Which is okay if the offense is really clicking. But as soon as we see some slumps offensively. We would not have much of defensive game to fall back on.<BR/><BR/>The other thing is there have certainly been stretches where the kid line gets truly dominated in the defensive zone. Long fire drills result. Do we see an increase of those with this line up? It makes it hard to create offense if you spend a lot of time in your own zone without the puck.<BR/><BR/>When teams start to put up a wall of players at the blue line so we can not attack with speed and carry the puck in. Can we play an effective dump and chase, cycling game and grind it down low to create offense?<BR/><BR/>If the answer is confidently yes to those questions. Then I would be up for giving this a good try.oilerdiehardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038041202807396071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123409644010783103.post-39883195330884243612008-12-06T19:52:00.000-10:002008-12-06T19:52:00.000-10:00Nice theory, but it won't happen with this coachin...Nice theory, but it won't happen with this coaching regime.Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04188822146288052918noreply@blogger.com
