Especially after two pretty dominant wins, can't see them changing a thing unless it's out of absolute necessity.
Wait what? If you can improve your lineup, you do it. I'm not saying Ostlund would definitely improve the lineup right now because there are a lot of factors we aren't aware of but winning a couple games wouldn't stop them if they thought they'd be better with him on the ice how's that for a run on sentence.
It’s ambiguous at best whether inserting a 19yo rookie who has never played a minute of North American hockey into a deciding playoff game in a professional men’s league would improve the team one iota. Because it’s ambiguous, it isn’t something they would or should do.
Ambiguous to you. That's my point. It's probably mostly about Ostlund and there's a lot of factors; jet lag, practice, system understanding...
I bet it goes like the WJC did. Ostlund the easily discernible best player on the ice. Lekkerimaki gets all the attention.
Hopefully he can be Buffalo’s 3C with the ability to play 2C when called upon.
