I honestly thought Sturm was going to not develop into much, but he seems to be noticeable in a good way when he's on the ice.

 

[AKL]

Marcus Johansson seems to have improved immensely since game 1.

 

[Prior]

I don’t know what Sturm has to do to get elevated when the centers look as inept as they do.

If you figure it out, let Ek know too

 

[GordieGallant]

Let’s try Sturm instead Rask on the Kaprizov
line. He makes things happen especially on the forecheck.

I just said the same thing to my wife.

I at least understand wanting to keep that line in tact. Don’t like it but I understand the thinking. It’s a reliable line and probably their best overall so far.

But every other center option should be on notice with how he’s playing.

Well Sturm's line with Hartman has generally been the second best line in a sense. I agree with you though, Sturm should be getting some opportunities where Rask hasn't done much in the last 4.5 periods of hockey.

 

[Prior]

I like Hartman.

The commentary is odd. It feels like they are doing a modern commentary for a classic game and it feels entirely disconnected from the play.

Edit: Might be the over the top fake crowd that gives that feel.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Yay.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Holy shit a goal!

 

[Wild11MN]

Shorty!

 

[GordieGallant]

Nice. Rebound lands right on his stick

 

[57special]

Rebound to himself...

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

A goal on a PP!

Yup, definitely. Zero energy from Pierre and it feels a bit delayed. Not sure if NBCSN has their guys in the arenas or not right now.

 

[Prior]

I don’t like Getzlaf.

 

[The Enemy Within]

Shortie! Woohoo Hartman!

 

[Minnewildsota]

We did a thing!

 

[AKL]

I don’t like Getzlaf.

He has a punchable demeanor

 

[Blue Ox]

Harty!

 

[57special]

Now a pp

 

[GordieGallant]

A lot of very weak penalties.
