If we win tonight, Dave should preemptively lock all the GDTs from here on out. Better safe than sorry!

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Faulk played essentially the same distribution. Every Boston forward lines 1-4 fell into 20-29%:

Faulk vs.	TOI With
David Pastrnak	10.2	29%
Brad Marchand	9.8	28%
Patrice Bergeron	9.8	28%
Joakim Nordstrom	9.7	27%
Charlie Coyle	9.6	27%
Sean Kuraly	8.9	25%
Chris Wagner	8.5	24%
David Backes	8.4	24%
Danton Heinen	8.3	24%
David Krejci	8.1	23%
Marcus Johansson	7.3	21%
Jake DeBrusk	7.1	20%

Slavin ended up with 44% TOI against the Ovechkin line and 38% TOI against the Barzal line. It would be an outlier for Slavin to end up with 1) only 29% ice time utilized against any one line and 2) have that top matchup be against Heinen-Coyle-Johansson who is the B's 3rd line.

Keep in mind that Pastrnak, Marchand and Bergeron were 8-10 among Boston's forwards in 5v5 ice time in those two games. Coyle was the #1 forward in that metric.

Player Season Totals - Natural Stat Trick

...

Pesce got Ovechkin duty as that series went along. In the last game in which Brind'Amour had last change after Dougie's struggles in Game 5, he gave Pesce - Faulk the primary matchup against #8. Slavin dropped to ~37% against Ovechkin sans Pesce in Game 6.

Line Stats - Natural Stat Trick

He did show comfort with Slavin - Hamilton vs. Barzal (Slavin sans Pesce at ~52% at home).

Line Stats - Natural Stat Trick

Boston's big line is a different beast than New York's.

There's only so much you can do without last change, ultimately. I'd be concerned if Fleury and de Haan were seeing a lot of ice time against that unit. That hasn't been the case at ~8% against Marchand.

Ill be going to bed before the game is finished. I want to put that out there in advance so no one accuses me of giving up.

He will not divide us!

Johnny Depp?
Cam Ward?
Jay Harrison?

 

[My Special Purpose]

I just don't think line matchups matter as much against Boston as they did against Washington. Boston just isn't as top-heavy at 5-on-5, even with their All-Star line. Boston will find a way to beat you without their top line. Washington won't.

 

[dogbazinho]

If we had Coyle and Johansen instead of them we'd be better

Johnny Depp?
Cam Ward?
Jay Harrison?

You get two hints. They begin with "Dave" and end in "G."

@DaveG is so going to murder me when he reads all of this.

 

[BLONG7]

Good luck tonight guys, from a Habsfan...please start the series comeback tonight!!!

Well we know him. Love might be stretching it.

 

[Lempo]

Well we know him. Love might be stretching it.

So that's not 'knowing' in the biblical sense.

#makecarnotcarnal

Let's say we are aware of him.

That being said, the way this postseason has gone I’m super OK with our sticking to the blueprint at the TDL instead of throwing picks at some rental who wouldn’t have made any real difference to this point.

 

[Lempo]

So anyway waiting for the game, and I'm writing an extended "howdy note" for the employer's representative to find in the morn about our so-called computer system.

Trying to goad them into action by telling them that I'm ashamed of presenting this crappy malfunctioning system and their crappy response to its malfunctioning crappiness for the summer employees the second summer in row already.

Let them think I spent the whole 8 hours opening my heart about everything wrong in the company.

Akkually I've been in internet. The summer boy knows his stuff.

two tweets i want to share: one for positive vibes one for eye rolls.

First this guy--who I actually follow because I liked his pre-series podcast :



HEIGHT of arrogance. Please, let us win this game. Just insufferable.


Then this quote from Svech, which was posted in the main forum:

Dave Grohl? But he seems like such a nice guy.

 

[Drivebytrucker]

Just heard from a source that Mac is in. Is this known?

what source? like a personal source or is there a link? honestly could see either starting

 

[Drivebytrucker]

My same personal source that knew before the game that Dougie would be patting Nelson on the head if they won game 4

 

[Stickpucker]

I have a mighty feeling in my jiblets.
