The problem with this team is they have too many players that disappear for great lengths of time. Lapierre was playing great up until a couple weeks ago. Then he fell apart. These lazy ass players also effect the one's that come to play. You can't beat a whole team by yourself.
That third you tube video has Lapierre looking like he doesn't even care that they lost. I hope it's just the way it looks otherwise sit him and call up Ryan White, that get some spark in the team.
so true

I almost think JM tells Lappy not to over commit on the hitting so he doesnt get caught out of position. Everything is about positionning with this guy

I can most definitely believe that because Obyrne said the same thing when he got to Colorado. JM dissuaded him from being physical for fear of being caught out of position.

He did? Well there u go. Same thing with Moen. That first game he played with us he was all over the place, then JM workedhis magic

Yea I clearly remember Moen being very physical when he was in Anaheim, didn't watch his games when he was in SJ. I remember his hits being hard and would also finish it.
Now, it seems like he finishes his checks because he has to.

If it's true we might as well trade Ryan White, Conboy, Schultz as they would be no use on the 3rd 4th grinding lines. You don't want grinders on the team you know.
The problem with this team is the skilled guys are small and the big guys are useless (Lappy and Moen), and the coach is keeping players like Eller who is playing well and who has size and skill with players struggling most games in the above mentioned Moen and Lappy, and with Pouliot and Darche.
JM has to get AK off the line with Pleks and Cammalleri for a bit as they are not working, put Eller there for more than one game. Call up Desharnais and put him with AK and Pouliot, put Halpren with Moen and Darche/Pyatt/Lapierre or call up Ryan White too.
I think Martin has to look at the D and say, we can play with Weber and Subban in the roster the same night. When Gorges is back, have a 6 man D of Gorges, Subban, Weber, Wisniewski as your main 4 with 2 of Gill, Hamrlik and Spacek playing...Picard can go to Hamiltion.
Price is playing well, but is being over played. If Auld isn't going to play because of a nervous coach playing him, well maybe we need to address a competent back up like Rollie from New York too?
Either way we need some changes at forward via farm or trade.
I only caught the last 10 minutes. Looks like the Darche, Pools, Eller line is the only one that's effective. Also, looked like Eller was trying to take this team on his back and get them back into the game.
I wonder why 6'2 Eller, 6'3 Pouliot and 6'1 Darche seem to be consistent. Hmmm

Now that you mention it. I think the whole team quit hitting. It sure seems that way lately.
