The Swedes assisting on each others goals. Typical swedes hogging the puck and scoring goals.

Awesome game!!!!!! Keep it up.
The Preds are slow and did not grind out hits. Lets see how things go in Dallas.

Bob shut Poulin down pretty quickly and said Sandin, Lilly and Robertson are as untouchable as you can get. He was pretty much laughing at Poulin's notion.

Finally got to see the goal on TV instead of my phone.
Goal was even more impressive than I thought. Bar down on a net that facing down lol. Someone who's good at geometry should analyze that goal. I'd be curious if it's still go in if the net was at 90 degrees.

I thought he was phenomenal last night. His composure in the offensive zone was absolutely fantastic. It seemed like every time he had the puck he immediately found someone with 8 feet of open space and we were able to generate a huge amount of offense as a result. He was on the ice for 7 high danger chances for and 12 regular chances for (only 3 and 5 against!). As the game went on it seemed like the guys were trying to feed him the puck to get more points and he was absolutely thriving under the task. He knows when to pinch, he knows when to stand up on the line, he knows how to find guys, and he knows when to attack the net. Fantastic stuff to watch from a 19 year old defenseman in his 10th game.
Defensively, he made some really great outlet passes and plenty of strong plays along the boards as well, no complaints from me about his defensive zone play. He likes to get physical too, he'll be a good cycle disruptor as he gets more experienced and stronger.
He's good. He's really freaking good. Best defensive prospect we've had since Rielly and I can't wait to see how good he's going to get.

Sandin should replace Barrie on the #1 pp .Wow! What a treat that would be.
His shot always gets through.
He makes Barrie expendable.
Would rather get him a solid vertern partner
The kid is going to be real good.
We say he's the Messiah and we would know. We've followed a few.

No chance Sandin is a bottom pairing D-man. He is already better than Dermott. So look at the left side now.
Reilly
Muzzin
Sandin
Dermott
My point is if Muzzin signs with the Leafs, Morgan Reilly will be traded in the summer or at the draft. Sandin has to be in the Top 4 next year at the latest, he is too darn smart to not be.

I think you do a lot of other things before you trade a Morgan Reilly.

Seem to recall the same being said about Dermott after he played a handful of games as well

I agree, Dermott was overhyped for sure. But I DO think that Sandin has more quality in his game than Dermott does. I think he can actually handle a Top 4 role, whereas Dermott isn't 100% there yet.
Hopefully.
This board board can be pretty quick to anoint the next great hope on defense though.

Yeah, you're right. He isn't a top pairing D-man yet by any means... but the potential is there.

Mm yes, let's jettison 26yo Morgan Rielly and move into the future with a 31yo physically battered Jake Muzzin as our #1D.

Wasn't Dermott given less minutes with Babcock compared to the minutes Sandin has been getting with Keefe?
I think the general idea has merit, but the timeline is jumping the gun. 40 games + playoffs to evaluate Sandin and anoint him over Rielly is asking to get burned. But if you add in a another full season of stellar play and it starts to look viable.

Do hockey analysts even watch hockey any more, who cares if they burn a year of Sandin's contract. He is showing the veterans how it's done.
