Killer! Nice goal after his typical fall going for the en goal earlier in the shift.
He was great I thought.Some quick thoughts on ABB, I thought he looked really solid. The biggest thing that impressed me, more than the plays he can make with the puck, is that on a night where everyone was putting the team in bad spots, he wasn't. He played pretty responsible, and it was in a game where the pace was fast and the puck was zipping around even faster. He didn't look bothered by it.

Agreed. Looked like they had him playing F3 which is perfectly fine too when you have Gourde on your line. On a team like ours, you pair him with the right guys and it shouldn't be too much of an issue. If he's smart and makes good decisions, that'll go along way. I agree with you on getting him different linemmates. It's like Drouin in a sense where he needs other guys who can play on that level with him. He had a few troubles crossing the blue line with Killer. Could just be the lack of chemistry (with anyone), but he wasn't really in sync with them.I think his footspeed was noticeable, he's definitely not going to be the first down low on a loose puck but he has a good possession game, couple times where he was able to pick up the puck and keep the play going. Gourde's line was rarely in our zone, I think he should be playing with Stamkos though, put skill with skill.
They need to go all in and put him with Point and Palat. If that doesn’t work he may need to sit.Johnson is such a waste of a lineup spot, but there's no way they bench or scratch him since they are hoping to eventually move him (with what little value he has)
