Mcdavid is gonna score another highlight reel goal that we will have to watch in every promotion intro for the next decade.

Wonder which pair he’s gonna do again against

Were there line rushes this morning? Will be interesting to see if the Kakko C experiment continues.

Continues? When did it start?

Last game. Kakko played center for the third line from the end of the 2nd period.

Kakko was a bull at the dot.

Kakko was a bull at the dot.

Even if he's not up to playing center full time positionally, they really should give him the responsibility at face offs. The sample size is not huge, but he seems to be better than Chytil. 2nd PP unit actually has a chance now when they can get the cycle going inside the zone instead of recovering it from their own end.

This is not uncommon either. When Landeskog was still healthy, he basically took 30% of the faceoffs even while MacKinnon was on the ice.

Did Kreider not take Mika’s draws fairly frequently not too long ago?

Similar sentiment to what I’d said in the last GDT, but I think I’ve said this several times the last few years as well - I never root for a loss, and obviously will be watching and be annoyed if we are losing, but the team is so stale and so unenjoyable to watch, I almost hope for a 6 point McDavid torching and the Oilers to drop a TD on us, just to see if it finally inspires some changes. We’ve changed coaches how many times? It’s time to change the personnel.

From one side of the ice in the offensive zone primarily

Hoping for McDavid to have a 9 point game and us to win 10-9.

Lindgren-Trouba will be lucky to hold McDavid to one highlight reel goal. Unlikely, but hopeful they move Lindgren to bottom pair on limited minutes and reunite Trouba with Schneider.

Miller-Fox
Schneider-Trouba
Lindgren-Mancini
