My favorite teams
Ya know, I have to say that I'm liking what I'm seeing from the team in spite of some deficiencies (which, let's be honest, no team is perfect).
Against Dallas, Crawford has issues with his 5-hole. Since then, no big issues with said 5-hole. It's like the team sees where it has a deficiency and then tries to rectify it. As gassed as this team was, it found a way to win and really, hasn't looked that bad.
The 6-0-0 start makes this sweeter.
I think right now we make no real tweaks: Keep the lines as they are. with only minor tweaks like swapping Brookbank & Rosival in Slot-6 as needed (either takes pressure off Leddy who's been monster), and maybe rotating Mayers out. Everyone else looks sharp and we don't ant to mess with the chemistry.
2 real tests up ahead: (1) our 1st loss and how we rebound as a team, and (2) how we fare against the likes of SJ, who is as on fire as we are.
With how we've been playing, we shouldn't have a problem with either.

Anyone find out wtf Franzens deal was? Was it just a horrible sell job of embellishment?

Actually Bolland nailed him, but it was difficult to see in the multiple replays. My eagle-eyed son spotted it. But it definitely was embellished...

*Big* issues. He made pleny of 5-hole saves since he let the bad one in and Keith bailed out the other one.

I'm not arguing that; he's been excellent. But the fact is, the one goal he allowed was five-hole...and, if you look at the replay, it was WIDE open. When he improves that, he'll inch closer to becoming a more consistent netminder...

ah...um...he was scrambling after the puck deflected off of Keith's skate. It wasn't like he knew Franzen had the puck and offered him a big, gaping beaver shot.

The way I see it is this: One night he lets 1 very very weak 5-hole shot get past him for a goal, and another time another puck squirts through his 5-hole where his D-man bails him out.
Since then, he's made plenty of 5-hole saves, but lets one in on a point-blank deflected shot.
That's improvement in my book--same with the wandering issue. One game he goes questing, next game he has the bungee cord on (to Quote Olczyk). Both that and watching some of the skaters go from turning the puck over to keeping the thing on a string shows that they're learning and adapting, rather than a Wile. E. Coyote exercize in futility like last year.
All in all I won't herald Crawford as the second coming of Roy, but I like what I see; an improvement from last year, continuing improvement and adaptation game-to-game, and some chemistry with the D. I think that's all any of us could have asked for coming into this season.

And, to this, I can agree. As I posted above -- he's been excellent in my book. Hoping he keeps it up, and, with our improved PK and (hopefully) improving #s 7 & 2, that will bode well....

Damn, after that game the pk is still second? Have to be damn near 98 percent.

Boston. They've only played 4 games and stopped all 17 chances to the Hawks 1 goal in 23.
