They've been doing that pretty much all year.Their rotation on the forecheck, D activation, back pressure and support through the neutral zone has been a strong point all year. The forward support really allows the D to play confidently with tight gaps. The support on puck retrieval has been solid this year too, guys are on the same page on where to be an option and the D are making good reads.

Really like how this team looks when they play like this, which has been more often than not.

I've seen it too... But I've rarely seen it this well executed.

Perhaps the blues had no answer or maybe they just aren't fleet of foot enough to play up to our level when we are on.

But tonight IMO their gaps were impeccable and the pressure it presented looked like it just killed the Blues...

We looked good. We took the gas off the pedal at the mid point of the 2nd, but Helly took over from there.

It's hard to dominate for 3 periods. I'm learning that from watching the Warriors this year. They are just so dominant that it seems like if they don't let up they get gassed so quick while the other team just sits and waits.

Also, Buff and Toby have been fan-f***ing-tastic this last stretch of games sans Trouba.

Healthy, I love our top 4d so much and having a Myers/Kuli 3rd pair is wayyyyyyy above average. With Cheerios and Poolman as a 7/8 we are sooooo solid.

I'm stupid excited about this team. I try and stay reserved but literally everytime I get a little worried about this team they deliver a character defining beatdown of a team in a game I think is a must win.

Exactly...maintain this style and we're a goddamn handful for ANYONE over 7 games...teams have sometimes given up vs us b4 it was even outta reach! Either this team is too fast for everyone or our goaltending comes through. The Jets have wicked balance not just across lines but overallll...G-D-F:hockey:




Having said that, the Brassard to Pit move has to scare everyone no?

Nice win, domination!

Little Petey with the game winner!

Loved Perreaults game! Schief doing his best Copp (GOAL SCORING] impersonation all night.

Helly just okay, could have showed more flare on some of the saves in getting the SO!

D okay, of course none of them scored!

Dare I say Mo may be in the running for coach of the year, who would have thought!

You mean you think Copp makes that steal and perfect pass to Lil Nicky?

How much you had?

Does anyone remember when the boards were lit up at the start of the season because we were all worried about secondary scoring and angry at PoMo for not having 3 scoring lines? It was even to the point where someone had made a table to illustrate how little secondary scoring we had and updated per game.....

Our bottom 6 forwards at this exact moment....

3rd line 110pts/183 games played for .60 per game total.

4th line 36pts/124 games played for .29 per game total.

So basically between our 3rd and 4th lines we are getting 1 point per game from our bottom 6 forwards.

Minus Lowry that's huge considering lousy was/has scoring at a really great rate this year.

I was worried about the sketchy start but they recovered quickly and played well. I wasn't aware of the Brassard news but reading it after watching the game kinda threw some water over my joy from the game.
