Barkov is a damn good player and he was underrated for a long time.

The pendulum has now gone the other direction and he's being overrated. If the dude wasn't allowed to relentlessly slash, his defensive metrics probably wouldn't look so good.
Yup. There was time when he was underrated.

But now that absolute morons like Bissonette are saying he’s the “best overall forward” in the League, he’s now extremely overrated.

These f***ing media guys ask the same old same old boring questions after every game. How is it that none of them have asked anything about Broberg. Kid delivered another strong 17 minutes tonight. Imagine how he must be feeling. Love a story like that.
Not to mention he had to rise past CycloneSweep's hate campaign against him over the last 5 years

Also the RS would be an incredible feat but I honestly think that the more incredible accomplishment would be proving that there are no good teams in the NHL. They’d all be bad teams except for maybe the teams that probably would have beat the oilers, because they matched up better against them, but they unluckily lost in earlier rounds because the seeding system is stupid

Skinner being basically a robot when it comes to stress might give us a slight edge here. Bob has a little bit of a history of collapsing when things start going south.
It’s great having a mentally strong goalie that constantly tries to better himself in that area. Resilience and mental toughness is one of his biggest positive attributes.

Bouchard with 26 minutes tonight.

McDavid and Hyman with 24 minutes.

Draisaitl with 22 minutes.

Please don't run out of gas.

(Also Bro-berry with 17 minutes tonight. What a revelation).

2 day breaks in case of travel issues are great to have right now. Hopefully enough time for guys to be fresh. Bonus time for Florida guys to have doubts creep in too.
