One constant in big games is Ryan Strome ....

They beat Tampa 3X, Florida twice, Toronto twice, Boston Twice, but yet some think it's impossible for us to win a round in the playoffs.

I was told it was inevitable they would lose today and tomorrow. Ignoring that we already beat most of that team healthy 4-0 in NY, I'll ignore the other game that Vasilevskiy didn't play in.

For all the people hating on Hunt tonight, please explain why. He had an outstanding game. Made plays defensively, was a beast on the forecheck, made multiple quality passes that lead to chances.
People do it on this board all the time. They just can't give credit to a guy that they don't like even when he plays well. I don't get it.

Dude, That goal doesn't happen without the teams leading scorer creating that opportunity for Zibs to 1 time it. Deny it all you want.

Again, Zibs has scored those kind of goals without Panarin feeding him.

And your take away is still to throw accolades to him for 1 play, and dismiss him being a step behind, being cutesy on the previous PPs with Strome, making dumb passes into oblivion, taking a shot after surverying if anyone else was open and allowing everyone else to get in position to block the shot.

I ignore nothing. A win is a win. We have had a good deal of injuries also. We would be a better team with Blais and Kakko playing but it is what it is.

should have two primaries with how he setup Panarin the past couple games

His biggest contribution IMO was slotting Hunt appropriately. Hunt has made that third line excellent. I know his skill is still probably of a 4th liner but on the 3rd line being a forechecking demon you don't lose sleep over that. Hunt is 10 times the player Gauthier is. Also Chytil and Goodrow are guys with good skill. We are now much much more balanced.

Well he'll be slotted down even further when Kakko gets back

Yeah, no kidding about Zibs. I've been watching this team for a long time. He has a great shot. Panarin didn't have a great game but he came through with a great play in crunch time that many players on this team wouldn't or couldn't make. Pardon me for getting excited.
