Yes its been awfully inconsistent. But I did see things really look like they came together in the last game. Is it a sign of things to come or another tease? If its another tease its about time to cut bait on Quinn. This team is way too talented to be playing so up and down.

What I like about this in a sense is though the light is flickering when it is 'on' it is capable of shining very brightly. It proves that ample wattage is present to light up the lamp.

Yes you are correct. I am hoping this last win with Panarin back and Zib showing signs of life and the young ins getting acclimated to NHL Ice that we are on the cusp of playing well consistently. The pieces are definitely flashing. Its Quinn's job to get them play cohesively and consistently.

I'm not talking about this one good game bad game inconsistency we have been seeing most of the year. For whatever reason Quinns teams seem to take a while to find their groove after a long break. But as a small sample size of last year when they get going they can hit a stride of very strong play. There were 2 months or so in the season last year where we had one of the top records in the entire NHL during that span. And the passing was pinpoint and sharp and the goals werent generally scored because of battering the goalie but absolute amazing skill combined with just incredible tik tak toe passing. The most encouraging part of yesterdays game was Zib looked probably the best he has all year. You arguably could say he was our top player last year on the entire squad so to see him start to play well is huge. Panarin is back , Kakko is flashing more, Laf is slowly getting there. Kinkaid looking a ton better than Georgiev. Now we need to see the consistency part. Playing consistently like this. Because this team is loaded. The other really, really nice part is Kreider looks like he may be on the verge of a career year. Wow. Oh and lets not forget KAndre. Such a special talent on the D side. Fox is steady. Still need to see more from Trouba. But the D is not a bad unit either. IF (and its a big if) this young team can really start to mature under Quinn and play consistently they will be a tough out for any team.in the entire NHL. An arguably less talented and less mature team last year had a couple month stretch were they had one of the best records in the NHL during that span. Bottomline I'm still not sold on Quinn but they have had some pretty good sustained play under him at times too. Heres to hoping for the start of this team taking off.

But when they come together they look absolutely amazing. This team is loaded with young talent. If they can come together and gel under Quinn this team will be a force.
