Post-Game Talk: We’re all smilin with you tonight Stu

Massively impressed by Evander Kane. Misses an entire year and comes back like a boss. He has been a huge boost to this team. Not easy coming back after 3 surgeries and missing a year and be a force.
These are the guys you win with. Glue guys who stickup for teammates, cause havoc and chip in offensively. He’s kind of like a modern day Esa Tikkanen. Just knew how to push buttons and piss the other team off while scoring some big goals in the process.

You guessed it. 1990's kid who didn't get into hockey until someone took me to a game in December 2005.

Joined the bandwagon at just the right time. ;)
Yeah, I'm also a young cool guy.

Janne Niinimaa. Now there’s a name I haven’t heard for a loooooooooong time. I remember when he was traded for Brad Isbister, he was pretty upset. He loved it here.

Good ole' Spaz... imagine having (actually EARNING) that nickname and still being a popular guy in the room and a fan favorite. He must have been a pretty cool guy.
 
Podz-Drai-Kapanen line was great in regular season and arguable our most stable line 5 on 5.
This line went head to head against Eichel line last night and neutralized them.
One can easily argue that Nuge-McD-Hyman line will have more problems than this line if we face Dallas .
Thats correct. Why I prefer

Drai Mcdavid Perry
Kane Nuge Hyman
 
Why do you say that? Knoblauch mentioned the Draisaitl line was purposely hard matched to the Eichel line in a shutdown role. It worked because they held that line to 1 shot all game.
They did a great job. I just don't see that cutting it vs DAL

If the Leon Line was to shut down Jack Eichel lets see what knobs does for lines tonight when we don't have last change

Beranek and Berehowsky are two names I had never even heard of before seeing this list.
Beranek was a talented guy. He had a few decent seasons in the NHL but never really achieved his potential. I watched a fair bit of Berehowsky in junior as I lived in Kingston for one of the years he played there. He was a very high draft pick. His offense never really materialized in the NHL but he was a decent defensive defenseman.

Vegas is more top heavy than Dallas imo. Neutralizing their top line is crippling. It’s worth losing some Drai offence. Dallas is a different story.

No way should they split up that 3rd line. They are dominating. Keep playing them together and giving Kane shifts with McDavid and Drai.

Dallas has been as top heavy as anyone in practice. Rantanen is doing pretty much all the scoring for them.

It's still a bigger challenge because while the Stars only have one player producing the Golden Knights don't really score at all.

Their top 9 is insane. Robertson will get going.

I agree Rantanen is playing unreal. I just think the Stars have way more firepower that can burn you even if you shut him down.
