I imagine they will catch on to Hiller's philosophy soon enough, and I would hope Hiller adapts and figures the individual players out further. It's a long season and they are battered with injuries. They're right where they should be.

This team has shown some serious glimpses of genuine greatness. But it's still a new roster, a new style, new coach, GM... everything. The vets even have to adapt to all these changes, not just the new guys. It took like 50 games before most of the team "got" Berube's style.

Let the players face some adversity. People were ripping into MacEwen and Stecher the last week. Now they look silly. People loved Blankenburg until this game, now people are saying he should be scratched.

Some people are far too high on AHL players. No idea why so fans want to constantly change lineups like they're playing the number crunching sim that is EA NHL. No, swapping Lettieri after one game with Tverberg is not a necessary move, nor a smart one.
