Has anyone found a decent replacement for the outdoor sternum strap. I do not enjoy the removal process.

This roster is extremely talented. Many posts here today and last night will tell you the same. Despite the loss, I think something very important happened in the last two games of that series. The team re-learned what it takes to play playoff hockey. They seemingly had forgotten or were unwilling to what was necessary the past few years.

Hopefully in the next day or so we find out what happened to Hedman, and possibly Point. I know the loss of Stamkos on the other side has had huge impacts on Points ability to score on the power play. It’s also very possible something is wrong physically.

This roster is mostly set for next year and that is a good thing. These guys are good, but there is an issue that needs discussing and no one seems to want to do it. Before I say it, I add this caveat…. It is possible to criticize this coaching staff without calling for its head. That’s exactly what I intend to do. This coaching staff has got to find an answer to the pressure other teams put on us. On both sides of the ice. More and more teams are moving to this as either a default system or a temp system employed against us. Im not sure Coop is a huge X’s and O’s guy. We need to find someone who is. Someone who can unlock this teams talent against such systems. It’s also imperative that they find an answer on the power play. Stammer is long gone and unlikely to be back. I am also not aware of any pending FAs that could fill that role. There has to be another way, and they have 5ish months to figure it out.
