[Brian Koziol] Ruff says the Benson-Ostlund-Helenius line was huge for them in the first period, says “I think the world of Ostlund” says he trusts him a lot to be out there leading the way.

1. unfortunately that honky Adams was cooking

2. Would KA still be GM if he never sent Ostlund back down? 🤔

3. The new Pominville-Roy-Vanek line.

4. Not to get ahead of anyone’s development, but Ostlund will become the next Kucherov.

5. Tuch leverage going down in contract talks. Hope he realizes that the team is competing and takes less money now that team isnt as dependent on him.

6. How do you pronounce Helenius?

   When he was drafted, they were saying “hel-LAY-nee-us”

   Now I’m hearing “HEL-en-us”

   EDIT:
   [Here is the Amerks’ pronunciation guide](https://www.amerks.com/team/pronunciation-guide)

7. Have to keep reminding myself he was the first rounder we got from Vegas in the Eichel trade. Tuch, Krebs, Noah… Makes that trade look a lot better.

8. It was cool that Helenius got an assist on the first goal but sucks that it took the assist away from Benson who did some incredible work to set it up.

9. Did Nashville change who was playing against this line later in the game? That seemed like part of the shift in momentum in the second period.

10. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Lindy say anything like that about a player.

11. I think a lot of Ostlund too. Have been looking forward to him since his draft.

12. Kulich who?

13. The non-French Connection
