For sure. He did more to win that game last night with that single act than pretty much anyone else on their roster if we are being honest.
And that doesn't account for the fact that he scored a goal lol

Sing us a song, you're the Schiano man
Still, very much so, a spot for the Marchand prototype / rat in the NHL.

Never attribute to luck what can be explained by skill.
I think that's how the saying goes.

Damn, you're right. I even zoomed in before making that comment, but zoomed ng further, it appears you are correct
Either way, he caused all that chaos in front that forced Saros to randomly swat at the puck.
It appears I was wrong. It looks like it was Saros that poked that puck away.

I have no idea what Nashville is doing. It's almost like when Trotz came in he was like ''Yeah, so, we're gonna do whatever we can to get our long tenured vets here a cup. Josi, Forsberg, Pekka''.
Until someone was like ''Pekka has been retired for years now!''
Oh, that other Finnish guy that plays goal for us. Let's lock him up a really long time. Good thing is he's just barely under 30 unlike most of these other guys who are already over 30 and some well over 30!
I wonder if they're gonna be wishing they let Saros go/traded him and let someone else extend him while they kept Askarov. Saros will likely keep them from really bottoming out anytime soon.
My guess is they probably run it back again next year. They're probably not as bad as their record. They're probably a mediocre to average team masquerading as a bottom feeder. Last year they were an average to mediocre team masquerading as a playoff team.
They were MUCH faster last year though. I don't think we've seen a team that slow this year.

It turns out combining a coach that likes to have a fast, rush-based style of attack with new additions on the wrong side of 30 was a terrible idea. Bill Spaulding kind of hinted as much on the broadcast last night.
If Brunette gets fired, he'll land somewhere else and do a good job with a roster that suits his style. This is all Trotz's fault, as far as I'm concerned.

I agree
Though I'm not sure of Brunette will be as quick to get a head coaching job this time. He could get one again, I just think he'll probably be further behind in the queue.
I think what happened in Florida after he left might take away some of his reputation points around the league. Two straight cup finals appearances and a win after he was fired. I think they still could have made both finals and won the last one with him instead of Maurice, but I just wonder if the powers that be in the league feel that way.

I don’t know what’s been said about the Timo major I wasn’t on here paying attention. All I know is I love it I don’t care if it was “dirty” or a major or put the team down late in a game or he’s going to get suspended. Go out there be physical be hard to play against and set the tone that’s all I want from these guys.
