Talking about Brent Burns and his 40th birthday: I know the ancient dinosaur jokes get tossed around him sometimes, but if we're being real about the big picture, he still plays at an admirably high level even at this point. I genuinely wonder if he will pull a Rod Brind'Amour and join our coaching staff whenever he retires (he's got enough juice to play at least on a bottom-pair for a few more seasons with somebody). Maybe I'm wrong about this, but I could see him becoming a successful head coach with the sort of elite conditioning that he is known for.
 
Sounds like I missed a fun one. I had it turned on around the preview but that was the last I was able to see of it. Caregiving is kicking my hiney this time. Glad the new guys had a great debut.

This was fun because these boards and this fanbase were desperately in need of an "it's all going to be ok" and the new guys scoring 3 goals on the best goalie in the world was quite the comfort.

The guys bringing the families into the Storm Surge the first game after jettisoning the guy that didn't seem to want to fit in was a nice touch.

We only scored 1 on M.T. Knett and it was Jarvis but I get your point

And it looked like the team was playing like the team we expect/remember again. Whether it was illness, preoccupation with whether Rantanen would stay, trying to force Rantanen to fit in, they haven't looked themselves for quite some time.

They looked like themselves again. Including a largely miserable power play.
 
I still think we're a dangerous team this postseason - our team depth is still fantastic, and it was clearly shown in tonight's analytical card. The Jets did very well at clamping down our top-2 lines (Aho's and KK's) but fell flat because our depth guys killed them.


to reiterate something that was said during the game last night....

At what point do we start considering using Svechnikov to go big game fishing while he still carries top value?
