I’d go back. The second line is key, and last year proved that Nuge - McDavid is less effective.

Just too bad Scott Oake had to be so cringey when he was talking to Smith’s kids. At one point he asks Mike’s oldest: “Aksel, how did dad play tonight?” The kid looks at Scott like he just grew two more heads. “He didn’t play,” Oake condescendingly teased, like he is talking to a toddler. The kid? “Koskinen played well.” Mike had to laugh it off to get passed how weird it was, joking that he had a good game because he was on the bench. Just all of the cringe. Aksel handled it like a pro, but you could even tell the kid was pissed at being patronized like that, until they brought out the clips of the kids having fun on the ice, and that loosened everything up again.
Honey Badger had supper, and went straight in to the swimming pool. Honey Badger don't give a shit.
I can't for the life of me fit a word there that starts with a c and is 4 letters. Feeling dumb right now. Has to be plural as well.

Katz should just sell the team to the city, he already has a bunch of city workers working for him.

feel asleep watching that game.
missed the 3rd period.
Saw Tipps post game this morning, on how they rolled in @ 3:30 - 4:30 in the morning after the road trip, that explains a lot.
Gutted, and grinded a win in a game we had no business in.
one thing I noticed in the 2 periods I watched, is I'm getting a bit concerned about Bear and how he looks overwhelmed against Big, hard forechecking teams.

While the Drai line took a bit of a hit with replacing RNH with Ennis, IMO the bigger problem was on the defensive side moving the puck... leave the forward lines the same, fix the d pairings

Koctco is playing good because smith was starting the last few games, Remember guys, Kostco needs rest and can only sustain high level play when its for a few games at a time.

I dug up the Smith segment, but browsing videos on Sportsnet appears to be like pulling teeth. I imagine the rest of After Hours is on there somewhere, but I couldn't be bothered to keep searching around for it on their pages.

yeah offensively Ennis had 2 or 3 really good chances that he’ll probably bury before long. The issue was definitely getting out of our own zone.
It’s just unfortunate how our only RD puck mover is bear. It makes it difficult to come up with pairings.
Klef Bear
Jones Larsson
Nurse Benning
Looks good at first glance to me, but then you’re likely asking benning to play heavy ES minutes with Nurse which likely won’t work very well. Either that or Nurses time would be greatly reduced and I don’t see that happening as the coach really trusts him 5v5.
Nurse Larsson wouldn’t work either imo because neither guy can pass the puck. We could really use a RH dman who can make a pass.

Well I mean we picked on up at trade deadline...
Those are the parings I think we should try, in terms of the minutes IMO I don't understand why we have such an imbalance in minutes when non of our pairings have shown success against top comp with high minutes...
We have good defensive depth with a lack of elite defensive talent, we should be distributing their icetime like that, more equal ev minutes

Have to keep up with the Joneses so take them any way you can.
Tippets post game was a beauty. At least there’s talk of playing without fans instead of just canceling the season.
Do we really want a number one? It’s the tandem that’s taken us this far and I think the both are heating up here at the perfect time. Just roll into the playoffs like it’s just another game in the season.
No fun bags boooo, just pot bellies.
Honey Badgers biatches better be using jimmies!

He is but Smith was NHL's top 3 star last week. We gotta ride the hot hand now..it's Koski no doubt but Smith isn't bad either
I lost them shortly after when I inferred Cassie has the brains of a cow. Back in the penalty box till end of May.

Thank you! I know they generally put them on YouTube but I think there is a decent delay before they throw it up on there

this is true, but I think he can be good for more than a few. The issue in that first year was that he was playing all the games for like two months

Bear has been getting exposed a bit with the Klefbom pairing not shouldering a huge amount of minutes. Once Klefbom is back up to speed, I think he’ll be fine.
