  1. I feel it deep inside. This team, when everyone is back,is going back to the final. They’re .500 with all their big guys gone. Come playoffs, they are going to be indestructible!

  6. Here's some food for thought, watched EDM since I was 3 years old, so close to 22 years now…
    Hyman-McDavid-Brown
    Podkolzin-Draisaitl-Arvidsson
    Kane-Nugent Hopkins-Perry
    Frederic/Janmark- Henrique-Skinner

    Major points: Arvidsson needs to stay with Draisaitl on 2nd line. Hyman needs McDavid on 1st line.

    Perry cannot be on the ice with our worst offensive players, he's too good and consistently produces for us, so Nuge and Perry on line 3 seems good. Henrique is amazing at faceoffs, you could have Draisaitl with McDavid to end the period and just before a 2nd TV timeout in the period so entering the ice at 10:15 min for a 60sec shift works well. As a result Henrique comes on with Arvidsson and Brown/Podkolzin to give McDavid and Draisaitl a brief rest. Keeping Leon healthy is the biggest X-Factor for us besides Pickard being reliable.

  7. At full strenght I would love to see

    Skinner – McDavid – Brown
    Frederic – Draisaitl – Hyman
    Podkolzin – Nugent Hopkins – Arvidsson
    Kane – Janmark – Perry

    Ekholm – Bouchard
    Nurse – Walman
    Kulak – Stecher
