f*** man. Cutter is so fast in transition.

 

[JAHV]

I mean the eye test backs it up even without the numbers. They don't have chemistry. They never have.

The only explanation is Cronin thinks Leo will learn by osmosis from Killorn's experience.

I think the explanation is that Killorn is the solid, veteran, stabilizing presence - he plays defense, he's calm, he has the physical ability to win battles and also stick up for Carlsson if necessary.

This isn't my argument for keeping them together; I think Killorn's lack of offense does too much damage. It's just my speculation on why they're still together.

Gauthier is a monster

 

[HanSolo]

What a shift by Cutter. Please keep him on this line.

 

[Leonardo87]

Now Killorn is costing Cutter points. Lol.

 

[AngelDuck]

I underestimated Gauthier’s upside. There’s high end potential there

 

[Arthuros]

No more angry emoji!?

 

[duckaroosky]

Killorn, if you had made that goal I would've stopped hating you for like 48 hours. I wouldn't like you but I also wouldn't hate you.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Cutter is going to break out in a big way if he’s put with some talent next season.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Gauthier’s IQ has been massively undersold. TBH I’ve seen no concerns regarding that this year, if anything he’s stood out as being sharp out there

 

[Boo Boo]

Good job cut

 

[AngelDuck]

Get rid of junk like Harkins and Leason and play Nesterenko

 

[HanSolo]

Yep. Tbh if he can play the way he has tonight regularly, he's the one I'm most confident about as far as first line upside.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Cronin basically went with 3 lines for the final 2 periods. Hopefully he took something away from it.

They deserve both points. Go take it!

 

[JAHV]

After I questioned their heart and resolve, they woke up and played some damn good hockey. Maybe I just need to call them out in game threads all the time.

 

[HanSolo]

Seriously, Colangelo and Nesterenko need to be regulars. I was getting concerned that Nesterenko didn't have it from what I saw in camp, but he's really showing a new level this call up.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Cutter is going be just like Adrian Kempe. And I'm ok with that

 

[HanSolo]

Leo OT Hattie please.

 

[HanSolo]

Cronin keeps playing Cutter with Leo. I'm almost, dare I say it, happy with the man tonight.

 

[Rybread86]

Nice to see Cutter earning his OT ice time

 

[heynowbababooey]

Fuuuuuuuuck dosty! Ughhh all well.

 

[duckaroosky]

God dammit

 

[HanSolo]

Bummer. Not the best read by Dosty

 

[dracom]

rough ending

 

[Leonardo87]

That sucks.
