I never put two and two together reagarding the manifesttaion part. That makes a lot of sense now, thanks for clearing that up. It was really creepy and spooky but not terrifying, my then gf was horrified. Haven't seen US yet, apparently Peele is working on a spiritual successor or sequel to horror "the candyman" so hes still got more goosbumps up his sleeve.
Here's some on topic discussion
Gudbranson has been so Gud, that im waiting for him to have a Fleury - esque level meltdown because thats what i was told about him, but the guy is a friggin rock back there. He got the 2nd helper on that beautiful mccann goal and he deserves credit for getting the puck up ice.
I think Gudbranson just wasn't used correctly (surprise surprise) in Vancouver. His game is simple, trying to make him be something he isn't is what caused problems in Vancouver.
He's a physical stay at home defender with fists of granite. He's been exactly that. For me, he's the closest to what we had in Ian Cole sans the offense and speed that Cole had. But he's rock solid back there, I like his game. I think when the battles in the playoffs get heated, HE IS the exact kind of guy you want on our side.
Say we face the Caps again, Wilson is going to think twice because for one - Guds has beat his ass before and Wilson has been trying to get him back for a while, even in the last game, if the idiotic refs didn't get in the way, Guds was going to murder that punk ass bitch.
I hated the move, but since watching him and remembering him from the Panthers days, I've grown to like his game and the kind of player he is. I also like that the guy is out spoken, another Cole-like thing.
