  2. One of our lobbyists regularly walks around in a Hischier jersey on casual Friday. We need to win this so I can say, “Nyah nyah!!” next time I see him.

  4. I actually weirdly support top line Mantha. He’s had an awful season and this seems like a good chance to give him a run of games with plenty of responsibility and talent around him to really tell him he needs to do something.

    That only works if the lines stay intact for a few games, which they probably won’t, but that’s it’s whole own thing.

  6. First line Mantha is a terrible idea. He definitely didn’t earn it. Can’t wait until Lavi is gone.
