Unbelievable that the Leafs didn't qualify him, he's great in our bottom 6 and on the PK. I like all of the additions in the off-season. Looking forward to Perron returning, hope everything goes well with their new baby. Such a sad thing for the family to go through.
But I didn't see a lot of run and gun in this game. More the 5 man unit (with a couple of hiccups). Timmy was playing D when he got the opportunity and scored that beauty. I'm seeing improvement in their D play and away from the puck. I expect them to continue improving as the season goes on.
Yup! He's been good and he is tenacious.
His quick release is so impressive, doesn't give anyone, including the goalie, time to react. Hope he stays in the line-up once Pinto/Perron come back. He's been good.
There are 2 B2B in November if you include Nov 30/Dec 1st so I expect Forsey to play the Kracken and either Anaheim or LA. There are 14 games in November, I expect Ullmark to play 9-10 games. That should get him in a groove but not overtax him. Forsey's played well lately so he should be OK against non-playoff teams (NYI, SJS, maybe Oilers if McDavid is still injured by then).
Probably because they both play on the PK as well as PP1.
The Perron-Pinto-Amadio line was very good before Pinto's injury and Perron's family issues. I'd leave Greig on your 2nd line and Gaudette on the 4th instead of having Cousins play Center, something he hasn't done in awhile. When you have a 4th line that can produce and plays well defensively, then the ice-time can be spread out more equally. For me the lines would be:
I felt bad for Korpse last night. He lets in 1 goal and Boston gets shutout. That is a painful L for his record. However, I'm happy Boston lost as it's good for us in the standings. Man, the Atlantic division is so tight.
