Post-Game Talk: GM 72 | Canucks def. Devils in SO | 4-3 (Suter, Lekkerimaki, & Garland) (SO: DeBrusk & Lekkerimaki) | LEKKERIMAK-YEEEEAAA!

Quinn Hughes, especially these last 2 games, is looking a lot like peak Erik Karlsson - every time the puck is on his stick in the offensive zone we get an A/A+ grade scoring chance it feels like.
Absolutely an utterly special, and he’s doing this while hurt

You have to tip your hat to this gutsy team. They're minus so many guys, but you know they'll battle right to the end.

So many positives in this game--but led by Lekkerimaki and Demko. I think it might be OK to get excited about Lekkerimaki. He's a goal-scorer, pure and simple. And these last 10 games are going to be so important for his development.

Even though they're still likely to fall short.....these last 10 games will be so important to the development of their younger players.

My only complaint is Forbort instead of EP25. Unless he's hurt, sick or something, he needs to play.
 
Lekkerimaki is a star in the making. What a shot. Still can’t believe we got him at 15th overall.
It’s crazy how young he is also, every season he’s gonna just get better and better, I can’t wait.

Lekkerimaki was going last game. He has continued that here.

Build. Keep building on this.

Demko rode adrenaline to turn in a high end starter performance. May get one more before he settles. Bodes well thus far.

Hughes... What do you say? Unreal.
 
Classic reaction from Markström. :laugh:

Nice to see Lekkerimäki be a difference-maker, much as I think it's too little too late.
He's somehow taken his skating to another level all while battling injury. Otherworldly stuff. He had the best agility in the league, and now he might also have the fastest straight line speed with McDavid playing banged up all year.
