To be fair Bert was one of the Bruins better players in their playoffs last year, his first time to the show. Hopefully we get that Bert come playoff time....

If Bert was on the Leafs last year against Florida and produced at the same clip they probably win the series. Or at least get it to 7 games.

It would be huge if he could replicate it this year

Will it be the Blue Jackets or Blackhawks who end the Oilers run?

Or do they push it to 15?

The QC
This is the second member of the 2018 World Jr team to take a leave this week, right?
Dube I presume is the other?

There must be something coming out soon if these guys are stepping away now.

Remember, Formenton is also not in the NHL right now presumably (at least partially) because of this.

He is.

If I remember right, both Dube and Hart have denied being involved in the incident, so who knows.

Formenton, I think, is the only player on that team to have not made a statement.

McDavid only has 3 multi point games during this 14 game win streak.

While he contributes almost every night, this is not a result of him going on a scorched earth heater. Impressive

Good defenseman have a positive impact on goaltenders because they limit high danger shots (the real kind).
Good defensemen have a positive impact on skater defensive results, like high danger shots against.
Sure, if below average or bad means 10th in the league
No, below average means below average. Worse than how NHL goaltending has performed in the same situations.
Not sure which referenced goalie performance you mistakenly believe was 10th best in the league...

A flukey statline actually kind of hides the fact that he played pretty poorly. At least when he had to do something other than just stand in front of the net on a blazing hot PP.

Really, the only thing holding them back is goaltending. They've been one of the best teams in the league offensively and defensively this year.

Unfortunately, I think goaltending will still be the thing that holds them back when the playoffs roll around. But no denying how well the rest of the team has played, especially since it hasn't been because of complete reliance on McDavid and Draisitl.

He has totally bought in. I was shocked watching him and Draisaitl grind down the Flames in the third period the other night.

They both didn't care about the ENG.
