5 day break facing a team that's playing their 3rd game in 4 nights... who thought that was a good idea in terms of scheduling? I'm not really into sports betting, but I wonder if the odds take that into consideration.

Oooh... lineless hockey. I like that. Is that a new concept? :D
No lines when you are doing puck stealing/puck protection drills 1v1.
They also did some D zone coverage near the net at 2v2 I believe.

There might have been some lines related drills not mentioned, but it seems Laine wasn't alternating if that was the case.

If Barbashev is playing I would suggest that our players dont forget about him on the ice. I remember the hit on Xhekaj which did damage. That dude is solid.
Barbashev is a big time hitter, when he was with the Blues he smoked Girard in the playoffs. Girard ending up going to the hospital and he was diagnosed with broken sternum.

No one cares

If I remember correctly, Xhekaj was hitting everything in sight, and Barbashev took issue with it. He checked Arber behind the net, and AX ended up leaving the game. Barbashev went back to the bench like nothing happened. He is the Russian version of Sam Bennett, not the biggest guy in the league but one who can really inflict punishment when hitting. I love those types of players; I wish that Slaf was like that.

I remember a young Mike Peca who was on the small side but he could deliver some punishing hits. It would be great if Slaf could turn a switch once in a while and just run some players over.
