Prime Minister Koivu

All true He is doing really well as a rookie and will certainly get better.

If you look at all of the play driving offensive stats Slafkovsky is rated very high in all 18ish categories. Kapanen is rated very low in all 18 of those metrics. Kapanen is good at finding open ice for the shot but he doesn’t contribute to the development of the play that provides the shot chance.

Slafkovsky is a player that drives offence from the Dzone out.

I was thinking that Matheson likes to carry the puck so it lets Reinbacher be defensively focused but yeah he would likely start as #6 I like getting Guhle back to the left side and that’s the real bonus here

Hutson - Dobson Matheson - Reinbacher Guhle - Carrier Hutson - Dobson Matheson - Carrier Guhle - Reinbacher I like option #1

Hutson will break this record before his 150th game. Consider the names BEHIND him! Norris

I was thinking last night: Newhook - Dach - Demidov Bolduc - Evans - Texier/Gallagher Anderson - Danault - Kapanen I also would like to see Laine with Suzuki, Caufield for a few shifts. Laine could be a powder keg of elite play or perhaps he is simply done but I would like to find out

Stat card matches eye test again Really tough night for Matheson and Newhook, Kapanen, Demidov isn’t working so far

Hutson was really good tonight Dobes made some great saves especially when we needed them Slafkovsky and Suzuki were monsters I wish Guhle didn’t have to play on the right side

Forgot to say that Dobes has made some big saves

The second period was better than the first but Montreal is really sloppy in the Dzone.

Bolduc, Evans, Dach continue to look pretty good

Really sloppy hockey by Montreal 1 damn shot with one minute to go 😕

Looks like the same roster with Dobes in net

I wonder if Texier or Laine get to play tonight?
