Matt Irwin is a legit talent
I mean I loved Schmitty too, we all did, but realistically he left a lot to be desired offensively for someone who was pegged as a two-way guy. I mean good on him for having a career year with the huge icetime increase this year in Vegas though. No one seemed to have more open looks from the blueline than him and he would fire them into the goalies crest EVERY time. His defensive game improved tremendously and his speed was a huge asset though. I think Djoos brings a lot more on the offensive side of the puck and with more time he'll likely reach at least the level of Nate in his own zone. I hated to see him go but I don't think we really downgraded a lot in Djoos in for Nate in the short term. In the long term I actually think the 3 year younger Djoos ends up being the more dynamic player of the two. Pretty certain we couldn't have kept them both, waivers and cap space and all that good stuff.

So we get a Wilson goal, a djoos goal, a niskanen goal and backstrom goal. (And Carlson)
But those are confidence goals, they needed those

Awesome win! Is this Djoos Edmonton type of breakout game? He is my player of the game. This has been a very entertaining week for hockey.
From my perspective, I'm slowly forgetting Schmidt. I do miss his positive attitude.

One of the best games we've played in a long long time.

Excellent all round game. Best I've seen them pass this year. The defense was really involved offensively this game. Oshie still looks off but not as bad as last game. Carlson played a very good game. If he keeps playing like this he could be a Norris finalist.
Thumbs up to #3rdLineTom. Way to come through second game in a row.
I guess there was a good reason to put DSP on the top line. Best game of the year for him.

I just wanted to apologize for the thread jack with the Schmidt stuff.
Good win, got the points, didn't lose any points to a team ahead of them. Caps have played the Devils really well in the two games this season.

Did anyone notice that we had 6 guys in the offensive zone on Niskanens goal. No clue how they missed that.
Yeah whatever, the Pens had six men on the ice for 21 seconds in the 2009 Final and they missed it.
