Peeps. Is Kevin Bahl legitimately going to be a top 4 guy for us? He can be a legitimate shutdown guy if he keeps improving. He’s not been overwhelmed in these high intensity games one bit.

Long term I’m not really sure if he is one but I have no issues with using him as one as a stop gap next year to be Graves replacement. Then in the future his role drops with Luke and Nemec emerging

I mean home ice and the division were technically on the line today. I don’t see why he would sit as he didn’t look out of place

The other comment said with other guys resting. That’d be different than what we did today. I could see going back to 11-7 but I don’t see 12-6 with Luke staying in and someone else coming out.

Super positive evening obviously, but Siegenthaler’s dzone passes have been brutal - I have to think it is a scouting thing because they have been getting intercepted constantly. Need to figure that out soon.

I forgot they probably want to get smith a game in before playoffs

I wonder if that’s partially been the logic behind moving him with Sevo since Sevo’s so good in transition

I'm feeling very involved with Luke debut today. He was one of our kids I saw a lot before NHL and read a lot of stupid things about. At least from people from other franchise fan bases, but some writers were active too. One of my boys was traded for Meier. And Luke is making small steps to being impressive player. That was on the ice even today in his limited time.

I should admit that first game of Edvinsson was better/more impressive. But players playing very differently, both shows the talent. Its impressive how strong 2021 draft was with defensive top prospects.
There are a lot of great moment in the future with Luke and Jack. I even hate the summer because we will need to wait for next season. I feel hungry for more hockey.

I think this is one of those things that got arbitraged away after the streak. Definitely felt like teams pressured Dougie to force Siegenthaler to be the one breaking out.

I didn’t see Edvinsson’s game but he’s on a bad team and got play more with I imagine a longer leash than Luke would be allowed to because of the difference in where the teams are.

Of course. Anyway he was good on both ends, saw his other game where he was very good too.
Anyway it is a positive conversation because both playing really well. I like today Luke simple game, and once he played really well with helping to escape the zone. He isn't as good in puck battles as Edvinsson, may be not as attractive, but everybody lose to Sweden men.

As a dad it doesn’t get any better than that . Jack is like a different person when he gets to talk about Luke . Really wonderful. The Hughes parents did something right that the boys are so supportive of each other.
My best friends growing up were twin boys. When I'd go over to their house, they'd either be cooperating intensely on building something cool in the basement, or murdering each other.
