from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
So now, while hope may spring eternal in 28 markets, the Tampa Bay Lightning’s new/old coach Barry Melrose is already calling for more sweat from his skilled players; and the Pittsburgh Penguins are wondering what the heck is going on with their power play, in the absence of Sergei Gonchar and Marian Hossa.
The lesson: Grim reality can set in awfully fast, even in the early days of October, where 15 burning questions will be asked and answered between now and next June.
1. Will the so-called “new” NHL eventually feature more scoring?
It sure doesn’t look promising. The Lightning, Penguins and Senators collectively boast some of the best pure scoring talent in the league, with a total of seven players capable of finishing in the top 10. For all that, they produced a total of 17 goals — one in overtime — for an average of just more than four a game in last weekend’s openers in Prague and Stockholm.
