Idk enough about O’Connor but if you think he could be a 30 ish point pace hard nose player id love that
I don't think any of these guys is getting 30 points in a 56 game season. I really do mean that. But this team has nothing to lose. ERod is not winning us games. Sceviour, I'm wondering if he even shows up to the game. Has anyone seen him on the ice because I haven't.
At the end of the day this team needs better play, and to be harder to play against.
They need better play from their bottom 2 centers who are of 0 help at this point. They can't go on at 20% faceoffs. That just can't happen. Especially when the defense is that bad.
This was the problem with finding a 3C because we all knew Blueger who is a decent player, can not win faceoffs. That part was clear last year. Crosby can't take them all. It limits him from being on the other side of the ice where he belongs. You are only going to get 18-20 minutes a night out of him. Putting those minutes in his own zone isn't the answer.
They need guys who can A. win a face off, and B. dig a puck out of their own zone. That just isn't Erod or Sceviour.
They also need better play from their defense all around. Especially Matheson who needs to stay in front of the net where he can actually help, and Ceci.
And while they might get better play out of POJ, playing him is not an option if they ever want to dump Matheson's contract, they need him to turn it around. Which means the one on the short leash has to be Ceci.
