Devo line again. Ya baby!

Dvo line at it again!

Hutson showing his elite, superstar, FRANCHISE chops.

At least it wasn't 26 shots against in the 2nd.

These bad 1st periods are getting concerning.

Yep. Forcing oposing teams to defend against 2 lines and hutson with the devo line makes 3 lines. You gotta do it. Those are the 3 I woul have on the 2nd line as well. Newhook has been very improved this year. Not showing on the scoreboard, but his play has improved a great deal.

I too am rocking half a pack of rolaids.

No salt.

I will eat a 6 inch piece of shit with no salt on it before I ever. Ever ever cheer for the leafs.

Really Really bad. Such an important game.

Eye test, I prefer Kapanen to beck. He wins more puck battles.

Good point. Bad save.

What a goal!

Need the next goal. Get goalie moving left to right.

Tough start

It could happen. Injuries will probably play a large part. Sophomore slumps and other hard to control factors could hinder it, but Suzuki has improved every year since joining the league. Slaf is improving still, which should bring Suzuki's numbers up. The 1st line has carried the team for 2 years with no 2nd line. Its easy to match defense against a team with only one line that can score. A productive 2nd line makes them much harder to defend and likely increases 1st line production slightly. If Demidov can pull off a healthy .6 ppg season and a 2nd line centre is signed, this team could very well be top 10 next year. Its early and probably too optimistic, but depending on Demidov's transition to NHL, this team is a 2nd line centre and a top 4 RD away from perennial contention. Let's go!

Pretty exact to what I had in mind. Moving some bottom 6 winger centre combos around for chemistry.

Reinbacher, assuming his knee is good, will likely start on the 3rd pairing opposite Strubel or Xhekaj. It's up to him to move up the lineup with his play.

He hasn't been earning his AAV, but he has been a reliable defensively responsible centre.

I don't want another 09 where I thought the stars aligned, but they are starting to align here i think. 1. Slaf Suzuki Caufield 2. Laine ( true 2nd line centre) Demidov 3. Dach Newhook Gallagher/Anderson 4. Heineman Evans Gallagher/Anderson * Kapanen * Beck Ghule Hutson Matheson Carrier Struble Reinbacher *Xhekaj *Engstrom Monty Dobes or Fowler or Primeau

Oof slaf.so close. Habs dominating!

What a dangle and pass by Suzuki.

Agree

No boarding there?
