These last couple of games are games we would have lost the past few years.
That's what I'm taking away from this.
Malone has been just awful. Playing alongside Stammer and Marty most of the season and yet managed to score only 4 points. He's slow, can't keep up with the guys and looks like a death big body out there. Looked better on the 2nd line with Val though. I hope Coop will try something like that:
Killorn-Stamkos-Marty
Malone-Filppula-Purcell
Palat-Johnson-Panik
