Let's go
!!
I know it's early, but I can't believe Point is hanging at the top of our goal/points list with Kuch! The kid just keeps getting better and better.
Was shocked by Killorn's 4 assist night. Mood: extremely cautious optimism??
Hedman is beginning to re-find his beast mode (though he still shoots wide at least TWICE a game, lol). His skating just seems so effortless and smooth. The Stammer/Kuch/Heddy PP unit is just ungodly scary!!
And for those who were wondering if Strålman was slowing down with age, he's been more like his two-career-seasons self, even considering how much of training camp he missed due to injury. 3 pts in 4 games. 2nd highest TOI. Getting some decent looks and shots on net including during the PP. And a fricking +8 (tied for 2nd in league) when we've had so many goals scored against us all while babysitting Sergachev or Koekkoek. Yes, I know the stat is out of favor these days, but still...
As erratic as our defense has played at some times, they did find the answer to shutting down Ovechkin, Malkin and Crosby,
just play Hedman and Strålman for 25+ minutes a night.
I do wonder how the minutes will be distributed tonight between Sergachev and Koekkoek if they are both playing.
