I still think it comes down to the 10 things I mentioned in the other thread. Barzal and that top line ABSOLUTELY must contribute more, you have to get shots on net, you have to stay out of the box and play as close to even on face offs.
I love how our second line has performed in the last two postseasons so far and for the first time IN A VERY LONG TIME you have a formidable third line, especially if Wahlstrom is good to go.
Defensively, Dobson has to play better or I could easily see BT putting Hickey or Coburn in. The second paring has to limit their mistakes as well.
As for goaltending you have to ride with Sorokin in game 1 and continue to ride him until it breaks. If and when Varly takes over will be when that ride does end. I am hoping it continues....
