Our best players needs to be better than their best players. If Vasy, Hedman, Stamkos and Kucherov needs to be at their best and the depth needs to win their match-ups.

We somehow need to figure out how to keep their first line under control, in my mind only way Point, TyJo and Palat can do so is to generate offensive, which is easier said than done. Bergeron is the best defensive forward in the league and Marchand works damn hard.

Damn nervous now, we have to win, I want to see some smart desperation tonight, they need to go all in but not be reckless, a tough balance act.

Its time to put Callahan, Cirelli and Gourde on their top line! Quit killing Points line with having them try and play defensively against Marchand and the likes because they are not getting it done. Just play smart defensively in our zone and don't leave guys wide open in front in the slot and in front of Vasi. And it is about time for our top line to start carrying this team offensively like all other teams top lines are doing in the playoffs. No more freaking excuses for them. This is the time to shine!

I don't have a problem with Cooper wanting to use Point against that line. He's our best defensive forward by far. Put Gourde and maybe Killorn with him. Get Johnson and Palat a different matchup.

Bottom line stop with fancy power play passes puck the puck on the freaking net

Sometimes the 2nd unit has to show the 1st how its done. The 1st falls in love with the cross-ice feed for the one-timer.

We had DOUBLE their shot attempts in the first game. Just shown on CBC.

We controlled a lot of that game. Vasy has to be better than Rask.

I Don't think Killorn could keep up. Maybe something like Gourde-Point-Callahan. Get some value on that $5.8m.
