Post-Game Talk: If a game is played and no one watches it, does it count?

Mondetta ads on the boards huh ...

Didn't know the brand was from Manitoba.

This last little stretch has confirmed for me that the coaching staff's in the McDavid-era are all guilty as sin of being lazy with line combinations.

Skinner-McDavid-Brown looks really good ... it never would have been tried without injuries, too many coaches (Knob included) try only 2 damn things with the lineup (load up McDrai or the same exact wingers for McDavid or Draisaitl forever and ever and ever).

Incompetent coaching, someone in the front office should have said something about this way before as well.

D was solid, surprising given how depleted it was.
 
They've been outstanding, but one big thing that Skinner-McDavid-Brown have been able to do (that RNH-McDavid-Hyman struggled with) is chasing the puck and forcing turnovers.

If you can get that group and Podz-RNH-RV going again, you've got two top 9 lines that can bring the bees vs. LV.


Also massive shout-out to the 40s 4th line. Lots of speed, good size and a willingness to cycle helped set the tone.

Imo the recipe there is two speedy defensive guys with some size (Janmark, Kapanen, Philp, Podz) and someone with good size (220lb+) and the ability to run around (Jones, Kane, Fred).
Please just keep slower guys like Perry, Henrique, and Ryan away from this line.

I mean there aren't many of the latter, but Stu didn't exactly light the world on fire with that one lol. He was good, but the team was just excellent
lol, so it was the team that won….

McDavid had four points versus the sharks, Pickard let in two questionable goals and he’s the reason they won according to you. Not biased at all lol.
 
All the veteran depth forwards scored just like they were brought in to do. Only took until Game 80, lol.
Depth forwards are getting hot at the right time.

Arvidsson 5 goals in his last 8 games
Skinner 5 goals and 7 points in his last 11 games
Henrique 4 goals and 9 points in his last 11 games
Brown 5 goals in his last 6 games
 
Pretty impressive game by the boys. Secondary players continue to flourish with the extra ice time. Any who knew that our only problem with empty netters was to not have our best best players out on the ice at that time.
When you enter the second season, experience counts for a lot and the vets have been there.

Brown and Perry have been "good" money of late.

Hopefully Henrique will come on too. He has been better of late as well.

Ryan has a lot of miles on him but if he has one "big" playoff game left in him then it would be the perfect way to end his NHL career.

Great job at finding a negative.

Silver lining of all the injuries: It's forced the coaching staff to try different combos vs. the stale lineup of...

RNH-McDavid-Hyman
Podz-Drai-RV
Janmark-Henrique-Brown
Skinner-Kap-Perry

Yup, you noticed that too. You don't seem to understand what's happening on the ice. I can lay the games out for you to waylay your seeming confusion.
