Post-Game Talk: We win

[snipes]

It’s truly a joy to watch McDavid play, as long as we have him I’ll tune in every game.

Love that kid, best player in the league and it’s not even ****ing close. At all.

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Sad how reliant this team is on McDavid. Other lines are just there to give McDavid a rest.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

"Is Todd calling penalties now?"

"English teacher said Neal was spelled k-n-e-e-l"

 

[Drivesaitl]

Overall, not gonna read too much into anyone's individual play since McDavid overtook Kucherov for the Art Ross.

I think these pairs are good starting points for lines next year: Nuge-McD, Drai-Pulju, Lucic-Strome, Slepy-Kassian

Drai gets the amazing 20pt ringer..

Man, I'd prefer almost every winger you listed there to Pulju.

I wish we could get Maroon back or somebody useful or its going to be a long season again.

This is who DRai had to work with tonight;

Puljujarvi 1G in last 15GP Khaira 0G in last 15 GP.

You can't make this shit up.

Meanwhile Chia gave up around 200 pts in wingers since last season.

Drai should take up drinking in the offseason.

Due to one of the worst calls ever.

McDavid just called out the ref for that call.

Yeah that was a 5-2 game, and we out chanced them pretty badly.

Too bad Drai couldn't convert an easy tap in. Puljujarvi could have got his 21st point.

I wonder how Benson would look eventuallly with Drai in a year or two

Points-per-game:

1. McDavid: 1.3086
2. MacKinnon: 1.3056
3. Marchand: 1.2879

Eh, I know you're not big on Pulju, but I think those two work well together. That line today had some good looks

I don't know, but if Draisaitl can't convert on chances created for him by his linemates it doesn't matter who he plays with. I've heaped a ton of praise on him this year, but him checking out for the last 10 games of the season isn't acceptable.

 

[nabob]

Puljujarvi's p/60 with Drai is very good. It's not a surprise their styles match well.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Well, hard to get excited at the prospect of a pairing with a player that doesn't even look like he belongs in the league right now.

How WOULD I be big on Puljujarvi and why?

Everytime I see Dolts with Draisaitl it just makes me thing about Hall and Eberle *trades*.

I wonder if he thinks the same.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Scene in Vancouver is amazing. Every Sedin shift the crowd is standing, "Go Sedins go" chants, they are creating some magic chasing the tie too

There's a thread on it elsewhere I guess, though we'd be going in circles.
What about Khaira-Drai or Acquisition-Drai?

 

[BarDownBobo]

Wasn't able to watch this one, how did the Drai-Pulju combo look?

 

[Drivesaitl]

Hall-Drai would be nice but that boat sailed. Thanks Chia.

Not good.

How do you think it would look?

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

What a goal by Leipsic wow

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Hall-Drai would be nice but that boat sailed. Thanks Chia.

Oh god don't remind me. Kills me everyday

Only McDavid-Drai will make him happy.

He just had a stint with McDavid and that didn't go well either.
If you're being honest with yourself, Draisaitl has been playing like crap ever since that one game he dominated. He has basically been playing giveaway most nights, he has to be much better. Also, RNH comes back and suddenly #1 line can score again.

 

[nabob]

Not good.

How do you think it would look?

If Drai converts one of a couple of tap ins then it doesn't look so bad. That line dominated when they were on the ice in the 3rd and Puljujarvi set up what should have been the 5th goal to seal the win.

Well I wouldn't put causation to it.

No Drai hasn't been playing like crap every game either.

But yeah lets pretend the rest of the night that RNH is a better player than Drai and put that out there so Chia can trade Draisaitl for a hill of beans.

No one said RNH is better, BUT, RNH is playing better ,and seems to be able to have just as much success as Draisaitl had on that line.
