I don't know that I will ever understand Ritchie on the second line. I'm still not sure I understand him dressing.

They could put Lindholm in and move Coyle to RW, but Lindholm has a cut on his leg and Cassidy said he likes the 10/13/43 line.

That is really the only option other than Ritchie. RW is their weakest position and also where they are most banged up. They will have to make a trade for a RW at some point.

Won't Kuhlman be back at some point?
Yeah, Kuhlman and Senyshyn will eventually be back. I just don’t really think that either of those guys are viable answers for a team with Cup hopes. Maybe one can seize a 3rd line spot which would let them kick Heinen up but even still I think ideally they’d like to bring in a bona fide top 6 scoring winger.

Johnny Gaudreau may be available if Calgary keeps losing. Maybe trade for him and kick Heinen up. Too many left shot wingers to deal with but Gaudreau's talent is too good to not look at. By the deadline he may be affordable enough that they wouldn't have to trade a big-salary player back for him since they have no cap space.

Ritchie gonna be Ritchie. I imagine Cassidy thinks they might be able to get Ritchie going if they let him ride with Krejci and DeBrusk.

EDIT: Never mind. He’s with Nordstrom and Kuraly.

Power Play looked really good, and 43-13-10 is doing everything except finish. They are soooooo close. If they keep it up they could be a dreamy 3rd line.

3 goals scored from a total of about 5 feet from Tuukka. Maybe try clearing out the front of the net?

You mean 7-1. The seventh was a tripping call when a Wild player stepped on Bergeron's stick. The rest were at least understandable.

Is there any reason for there to be this kind of disparity at this level?

2 points the Bruins should not have a single one of. This game should be remembered at the end of the season if there's a 2 point difference in something.
