Caught a replay of the game again this morning. I don't think it can be stated enough just how impactful our top 3 dmen have been. Gunnarson has been really good, too, but it was remarkable how many plays were shut down by 27, 55, and 6. And I don't even think Parayko is playing up to his standards...yet.
Jake and Hutton have been great, but those 3 are definitely root causes in letting them be great.
Also, Petro and Eddy cycle the puck better than he and Bouw ever have by orders of magnitude. I'm not as big of a hater of the 27/19 pairing as some on here, but it's pretty evident at this point that Petro is more effective away from Bouw.
