I wake up and you and the NHL site keep trying to tell me we won.. Quit it!.
Maybe not at all because possession off the dropNow, how much faster do we win that OT if they stop putting Staal out there.
I had the same thought but as a mcdavid line matchup it makes some sense to just tire them out before putting out scorers no? Be a little more cautious ? Even aho in post game interview was saying he was much more concerned w defensive plays in ot than he normally is w mcdavid out thereNow, how much faster do we win that OT if they stop putting Staal out there.
Of course Necas is gonna pop off. This ain't no contract year!What an amazing overtime! Necas is proving he’s worth the price of admission, but he’s done it before in short bursts. We’re going to need a full season.
That backhand pass through traffic from Ghost to Necas on the winner was ridiculous. Ghost could have a career year with us if he stays healthy. Necas and Ghost 3v3 should scare anyone. If Aho gets on a roll we should want all games to go to OT.
Svech still looks out of synch and it’s going to be his turn to shine here at some point.

In all fairness I think Ghost took him out on that first oneOrlov? The guy that got embarrassed in both goals against? I mean, I get it, it's McDavid, he does that, but still...

Tripp casually foreshadowing both 3rd period goal scorers minutes before they each scored was pretty sick.
Interesting....I might swap JR and Jarvis though (Jarvis then plays with his Finnish Brother, KK)Didn’t Jarvis have some success when paired with Staal and Martinook in the playoffs last year? Or was that regular season? Can’t recall…
Anyway, I like the idea of Necas with Aho at 5-5, really load up that first line:
Svechnikov-Aho-Necas
Carrier-Kotkaniemi-Roslovic
Martinook-Staal-Jarvis
Robinson-Drury-Blake
You’ve got everyone on their natural sides with that lineup too. Problem would be that middle 6 only has Jarvis as a finisher.
Jarvis had some success early on with Staal and Martinook if memory serves. Then was put back with them after game 1 of the Islanders series and I don't think much came of it.Didn’t Jarvis have some success when paired with Staal and Martinook in the playoffs last year?
