Just way more cohesion than you'd expect from such a young team

Mr. Preachy
Young and inexperienced teams are allowed to score 4+ goals for multiple games...in a row? And look like they're well coached while doing so?
Impossible...

I'm a little concerned that Ottawa might be ruining Tim Stutzle. It's only one game but he just played 11:50. The only forwards who played less were Cedric Paquette and Artem Anisimov. They didn't even use him on the first powerplay unit. Why are they playing guys like Nick Paul, Chris Tierner, and Connor Brown more than him?

Nieves was projected in some places as a first rounder.
And let’s not forget which HF poster got roasted two years ago when he suggested the Rangers take a look at Smith as a coach. (I’m salty tonight)

Imagine winning 8-0 and not registering a point or shot on goal (Nichushkin).

He looks like he was depleting the inventory right before the report.
I think we're going to see a lot of unusual results the first month of the season due to the lack of any kind of real preparation by teams this year (i.e. no preseason)

COL smoked STL on the PP. I wholeheartedly believe that they are taking a page out of basketball. They are running high screen and rolls, and getting better shots for their shooters, and getting better net-front positioning like how the better rebounders get in the NBA. They found a new competitive advantage.
It's an evolution of the 1-3-1 with cumulative routes that create easier looks. Very very impressive work by the Avalanche.

Disagree, it's been a couple of days, but the teams that don't match up well against other teams in their division are going to get smoked.
I always believed NHL teams should play like modern basketball teams in the offensive zone with motion offenses with screens, cuts, and movement to make harder on defenses. TB plays similar to that as well from videos I saw of them in the playoffs. I hope Rangers can play like that someday as well.

It's a copy cat league, so the Rangers should catch on in about 4-5 years if Quinn sticks around.
Yeah the principal of it is to create an easier shot that's harder to defend, and you have to remember in basketball, the center is usually the tall guy defending the middle, so that's your way around that big defenseman as well. What it does is, it initiates a 5 man cycle. Most traditional cycles are 3 forwards down-low. Add in the handedness dynamic and you are firing.
If you look at that COL PP, they are toying with teams because the mastered it.... hell they have bouts where they try to get 3 one touch passes before a MacKinnon bomb from the slot and start dancing after they score. These guys are ahead of the curve. When you know you can get it, you go and get it.
