Yakupov, my friend. Dude's a 40 goal scorer on this team.I wonder how good Kapanen would be in this system tbh.
I could see him putting up 30.

Simple question. I think that it was Malkin that came back and helped out covering for an open net and taking the puck away supporting the defense.
How often did you see that this year? Or the simple short passes out of the zone that made clearing the puck and the transition game look easy?
I did not want to see Cole go, but unless I am misremembering they needed some space to make the Brassard trade work right?
In any event much more important is the forwards supporting and players making smart crisp passes and doing the work needed. We saw a lot more of that tonight than we had for much of the year. If the forwards step up the defense will be fine.
Remember Zigomanis? Man....he could really win a faceoff.

Just for comparison over the last 4 seasons we’ve only had 3 players do it. Sid, Geno, Phil and they’ve done it twice each.
I’m assuming Sid doesn’t score 2 or Hornqvist a hatrick in the last game.
I always hate hearing Yakupov mentioned. Oilers forced that kid into the line-up and then destroyed him. Now people just say "oh well, he's just a selfish flash in the pan..."Yakupov, my friend. Dude's a 40 goal scorer on this team.

I was a big fan of Ziggy as well.How dare you? You and the vets around here know my undying love for Ziggy. He flat out won us the game that Staal had a hatty against Detroit with his faceoffs. I would ill for his 60% on the draw.
What happened to that kid?I dont know, I’d rather have Chris Stewart
What happened to that kid?
He was once a 60+pt player. Then he backed it up with a 50+pt season and then that was it, never even hit 40pts after.
Speaking of scoring, is Sid trying to create his own playoff luck this year by finishing with exactly 87 points?
If he gets a point early watch him become Scuderi and shoot everything “intentionally wide”
oooohhhh...Some of us don't share your opinion that Cole was a number six, no matter how many times you say it. I thought he was an integral part of our defense last playoffs, particularly on the PK. I viewed Hainsey similarly. I was glad we had both. I wish we had both now actually.
How much better is this turd nugget of the current system vs what the Leafs are currently doing (better than us btw)?I wonder how good Kapanen would be in this system tbh.

He's already up to 87 with his assist tonight. Chances are he either sits out or he refuses to shoot.
Well Ryder71, of course you'd agree.oooohhhh...
Yes.. this..

Yeah, but again, he was on the Oilers where not every prospect is McDavid. RNH could have been much better too if he wasn't rushed, he was not strong enough for the NHL yet but talented as hell.
What a joke of a franchise that continues to be.
No heart, no work ethic. The kid was just lazy and had a problem with keeping in shape. I knew (of) the kid all the way back during his junior days. Him and his brother Anthony were the absolute laziest junior players I've ever seen play.
That was a really good entertaining hockey game.
The best thing to come out of the game is that Phil has the ability to play at a high level regardless of the injury he is dealing with.
Meh I think Phil is nowhere close to as out of shape as Buff is.Which makes Byfuglien and Kessel even more impressive. Their svelte elephantine physique not hindering their production.
