RIP Fugu Buffaloed & parabola
++++ Letang: Broken record time, but the guy is our Troy Polamalu. He was all over the ice. He was noticeable the entire game and completely dominated. That was a norris-like game. Mad love to Dumo who is returning to his playoff self. He was a rock and is enabling Letang to roam like he does.
++++ Sid: Get that man a 5 point night dammit!
+++++++++ Murray: Held down the fort in the first period and the team did the rest.
And honestly a plus to everyone. I couldn't tell you one single player who didnt play solid. I didn't care for Brassard or Sheahan, but they weren't bad in any way. Just blah vanilla. I really liked Cullen, ZAR, Simon, Horny, etc. I think Maatta/Riikola was terrific. JJ/Pets has obvious chemistry. Letang/Dumo was other universe good.
The boys are playing solid hockey but it really does start with the pairings on defense starting to gel and the goaltending competing in a very good way. Murray is ridiculous. There is absolutely no room for Oleksiak.
