Tkachuk is the next captain of this team and his play last night proved why. He was practically off the bench as the sixth attacker before the puck even dropped after Nashville’s fifth goal. He drags guys into the fight and then comes through when it matters.

In case it got lost in the madness I wanted to reiterate that I thought Jankowski did some good things last night and that he had a pretty solid game, especially on the PK
I wonder if we take a chance on moving him for a forward during the season; I would love to take advantage of a panicky Leafs team and move him for Kapanen who would really even out our top 9. But only if we picked up a 5-6 dman from another team. But Brad has no cap space

Setting up the play?
I would humbly put forward that Lucic, despite not getting a ton of ice, had some really good moments this game, too. He was flexing his muscle in the offensive zone and extending possessions.
If Brodie had given up that 2 on 0, I'm sure you would've seen reddit and CP demanding for him to be traded immediately, so that tells you all you need to know about that. Been a trend since the post season that our second pair is getting outplayed handily, and Hammer has provided next to nothing this year to make up for his horrible play all around (4 hits in 15 games lmfao). At least Hanifin can chip in offense here and there and is a somewhat physical presence...
Why Tre felt the need to rush him back into fold after being our worst dman in the post-season just dumbfounds me. It would've been such a Flames move to give Hammer an anchor and get a mediocre return for an actually decent dman.
Dubas wanted Brodie over Hammer, and it is starting to become clear why that was the case.

I think @crackdown44 is on the phone explaining it to his doctor as to why he needs medical attention...

You need new glasses or your expectations are too low

Mediocre
Hamonic has been as legit bad or worse as you said he was last season lol. It finally lines up, you were just seeing the future.
He was fine during the regular season last year. I wasn't giving him crap because he actually lived up to his billing and complimented Hanifin well. That post-season performance was something else though, and I haven't exactly been proven wrong given his play to start the year. He better get his head out of his arse real soon.

I mean he’s a bottom 6 center at this point, not sure what expectations should be lol. Like I said he was good killing penalties and he didn’t hurt the team. I’d keep him in next game
Outside of one bad shift near the beginning of the third I thought he was good. I feel he gets an excessive amount of flack given how small of a role he has. I get that he has draft pedigree but he’s not going to be the big top 6 C we hoped for so we might as well start evaluating him for what he is
Also he has been putrid to start the year so yeah lol, not being putrid is a step in the right direction

The Quine goal was more impressive than Tkachuk's, change my mind. The man shot it under Rinne's arm on the far side just to flex on him, when he had the rest of the net to aim at

There is zero doubt him and Lindholm have been our top forwards.
Lindholm sure, but MT has only been good sporadically I feel.. in fact I'd say he's been not so hot most of the year.
