  1. A couple of big things happened in that game.  Secondary scoring showed up, and showed up big.  The team did not let the awful goal against sink them...they fought back hard right away.  To win against a hungry team on a night where many things aren't going according to plan is a big step for this group; they found a way, and that's what good teams do.

    The right pick would have been Quinn Hughes as I said at the time.

     

    Hughes definitely turned out to be the best player from that draft, but most scouts had Tkachuk higher, so Bergy and Co. could be forgiven for taking Tkachuk if they had.  The insane Kotkaniemi pick...that's another story.

    You want to get the center. Shortage of them. Martin be good pick. Most prospects don't live up to expectations, you want depth

     

    This type of thinking is why we drafted Kotkaniemi over Tkachuk.  NEVER AGAIN!!!  BPA always from here on out.

    Accountable for barely touching him?

     

    I'd rather he not take an instigator.  If Greenway is willing to go, sure... but if he isn't Xhekaj has to stay disciplined and not take the extra penalty, not for that, and not if they think they are playing meaningful hockey.

     

     

     

    Of course I don't mean that Wifi should mug him.  He should make a big show of challenging him though, to make it hard for Greenway to decline...and to make Greenway look like a 🐱 if he declines.  Barely touching him doesn't matter; he did touch him, and you can't have teams thinking it's ok to get up in your tender's face to intimidate him / shove him.  That's a hard red line.
