Agreed. Something about their defensive scheme worked really well against our dump and chase, effectively just getting the puck back out of the zone quickly and preventing us from regaining possession.

Not really, the "eu" diphthong seems to be unnatural for English-speakers and easily turns into "ue" so it is what it is. What little agitation it caused, I purged with my "Adios to Tuevos" post (#14).

No, because I am never wrong
Iph it doesn't have a read squiggly line under it, I have no idea it is rong.
I'll take the talent of Teuvo over both Stepan and Noesen. I don't think he finds his way onto the 1st line, but I could see him with Jordo's line or on the 4th line. There were several times that I recall Noesen's skating as a bit of a detriment to keeping plays going.

Works for me. Probably not a needle mover with Drury moving down. He's probably roughly similar to TT in terms of defensive responsibility. Maybe faster though so that will add some speed to the 4th line.

Are we matching Aho's line against their third line. If not, Noesen is going to get abused by the skating of Duclair / Tkachuk
That makes sense with last change:
Staal line vs Barkov.
Kotkaniemi line vs Bennett & Tkachuk
Aho line gets Lundell with Luostarinen & Reinhart.

At least we have the ace up sleeve of Necas skating it in by himself into 5 defenders.
So that makes him the team acehole......I'll show myself out....

Didn’t turbo and staal play together with some decent results a few years ago? Seems like teravainen can develop chemistry with pretty much whoever but it does seem interesting putting staal with the more skill guys and fast/Martinook with Kotkaniemi

Ditto here as well. Rather not face them for reasons stated above.

Saw teravainen giving a thumbs up. He nodded and said, “thumb’s intact”
