Get that anchor off of the line and they produce. Who'd have thunk it.4th line actually has offense without Callahan, great game from them.

We do have a habit of taking ex-rangers
Miller - Stamkos - Kucherov
Palat - Johnson - St. Louis
Killorn - Point - Gourde
Kunitz - Cirelli - Callahan/Paquette
Can flip Kucherov and MSL as well. I guess I can dream
It’s really not.It's not even far-fetched to say a 42 year old MSL would be better than Callahan.
It's more far-fetched to say the opposite. He was still over a 50 point player in his last season.It's not even far-fetched to say a 42 year old MSL would be better than Callahan.

Kucherov may have been our worst forward last night.Fell asleep before the third period and occasionally woke up when we scored a goal. Nice to see the scoring depth come through again. Maybe, just maybe Buchnevich's dirty play on Kucherov woke up the beast because it feels like it's been awhile since we've had 50 shots on goal.
Yeah, I didn't mean him spesifically. I meant the whole team. As for Kuch, I've been pretty disappointed with him for awhile now. He hasn't been the driver for the team like he was in the first half. You need your best players to be on their game in the playoffs and although he hasn't been good lately, I believe he is going to kick it up on a new gear on the playoffs. When he wants it, he can be one of the best players in the world. He has shown it before and I have full faith he will show it again.Kucherov may have been our worst forward last night.
he may be da next.
He would fit in well with all the other midgets
Not sure I totally agree with that. He becomes a little gnat against the bigger teams and drives them nuts with his antics. He brings energy to our team that often sorry lacks it. I think Conacher has gone from one of the most overrated players around to one of the most underrated. For some reason we seem to win when he’s in the lineup. Coincidence ? I don’t think so the honey badger is a gamer and gives his all every shift. Paquette had an excellent game but I sure wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that he is suddenly the Paquette of the past. If we win this thing I’m sure Conacher will have been a part of it.Matchup wise, Conacher does well against non-physical teams and gives the 4th line a jump, he was doing well in the corners today. I'd say use Callahan in a series against the Bruins but we need that scoring depth against Pens or Leafs.
He just tries to be too fancy and when it doesn’t work he looks real bad !!Kucherov may have been our worst forward last night.
When his passes connect, you think "wow, how the hell did he do that?". When they result in a turnover, you think "what the f*** was he thinking?". It's a fine line with him. When he's on, those passes connect. When he's off like he's been for a bit now, they tend to result in awful turnovers.He just tries to be too fancy and when it doesn’t work he looks real bad !!
Nice to see who were the top two puck possession monsters @ 5v5.
