Absolutely monumental to walk out with the win, up 3-0! Insanity! The Barkov injury scares the hell out of me though. He’s been getting progressively better these whole playoffs, and his defensive 5v5 play is desperately needed moving forward. I’m hoping because that play seemed to be innocent that it isn’t anything too series. By guess would be a knee sprain possibly? Looked like their knees kinda made contact but I wouldn’t imagine anything hard enough to cause serious injury. Don’t think it was the ankle, probably not the groin considering the hit and contact. Possibly the hip? My top guess is knee but hopefully with some ibuprofen, ice, taking it easy tomorrow, maybe laser treatment, etc. IF that is in fact what it is, regardless, I’m hoping he’s at least a game time decision Wednesday. Thankfully getting the win gives us more cushion if he misses time, but still

So, all fingers crossed it doesn't come to that, but let's say Barkov is out for the series and/or beyond. Who do you play instead? Do you keep Luostarinen-Bennett-Lundell as the top 3 centers and just fill in Dalpe into the bottom six? Do you go 7D despite Fitzgerald/other D not impressing much? Or do you get adventurous and fill in one of the kids despite them not playing with the team before and the Panthers being in ECF of the playoffs; maybe Samoskevich sort of like Toronto put in Knies?

I expect Maurice would make the safe choice and go back to Dalpe despite the huge downgrade in skill; he knows the system, established team chemistry and all that, don't mess with what worked. Probably the best option too among the crappy scenarios, though if we did decide to experiment for a game or two, then no better time than now.

Hopefully Barkov's fine; losing him scares me.

My guess is they would keep line 2 intact, slot luo into that spot, bump Lomberg back onto line 3 and bring in Dalpe for line 4. Hopefully he’s ok though or misses 1 game at most. A huge part in going all the way is staying healthy, now is not the time to lose your top line shutdown center

This scares the shit out of me. So disappointed if he is out more than one game.

Edit: But after all those Maurice Bar Mitzhvah comments doesn't make it look too serious?

Bob just keeps improving every game. So game 4 his SV% will be 1.024.

Bob is showing us how a 10 mil player plays 100% only when needed.

It's worrying that he gets injured so often. During the game it was not clear whether he returns or not. Therefore I think it cannot be anything serious but we have seen situations before when his situation changed from GTD to IR. So anything can happen. If it's a bruise he might need to rest one game and is going to be good to go for the following one. Of course everyone wants to play in conference finals, which means that they will do anything to get him ready for game 4.

Missed the interview of Hank and Bob on TNT.
Haven't seen it on the Hockey Tnt twitter/YT.

Anyone know where I can find it?
