54 goals? Must've been the money!
Simple just get Ennis into the lineup and have him lightly clip him. Won’t see him the rest of the series.

Yup. We aren't a veteran team that is accustomed to winning, we are still in the learning stages of figuring out how to win consistently. The next 2 games, followed by the first playoff games, are spaced far enough apart that we don't need to sit anybody, just reduce minutes for certain guys. Only way you sit a guy is if he is banged up and needs a few days off.

Well if we can’t beat the 24-31 habs in round 1 then we don’t deserve to move on anyways.
The Jets or the Habs can bring it.

Yup exactly. Keep the machine rolling and cut back time for players when required. That's what good coaches will do. This team doesn't fair well with long layoffs. Keep that mojo going.

Yeah that was completely blown out of proportion anyways. Coach was looking for a way to fire up the team thru the media. It was a cannon from Drai that got him up high later on in the period that caused it. Coaching tactic.

There was also a blatant cross check from behind into the boards by Petry on Pulju.
But but Johnny is better and some guy in Toronto . Sorry forget his name he so far behind in points it will take me sometime to look thru the pages to find him . lol . McDavid played ay 50% and still gets 2 points .

We’ve essentially been playing that way for the last half of the year. If last night is any indication, we’re used to it already.

I’m all for that happening. He’s an Oiler I want him succeed. I don’t think he has it in him though. He was exposed in the play ins last year and didn’t recover and has had some really bad goals and bad times this year and for the playoffs I think he needs to be the 3rd string goalie and then in off season be given an opportunity to get s fresh start elsewhere.If Koskinen has to start in the post season he'll wind up being lights out and everyone shits their pants. Book it

Finding Hyman
Kahun scores what should have been the winning goal last night on a good solid stick on the ice tip home, and I come into this thread and people talking about how he's nothing and get rid of him. I don't get it.
8EV goals means he's our 5th leading EV goal scorer. Behind only McD, Drai, Nurse, Pulju. Kahun has also been scratched 8 of the games, having only played 46, and was dropped down lines another half dozen.
Here we have a cheap as borscht player that costs nothng in relative cap terms, he can play with the puck, handle it reasonably well, and can even make plays in topsix. He has the puck more than Yamamoto. The guy has even played bottomsix here and elsewhere and can slide in there and is a reasonable 200ft player.
Kahun has had a 5 game set on topline and has looked good there. 2G 1A 3EVpts in the stint.
Including this beauty just a week ago;

I think it was Ennis.
I remember distinctly making jokes about calling Ennis “goalie destroyer” to Leaf fans after he took out both Campbell and Price.

It was Chiasson, because we had a goal called back from it:
Chiasson apologized to Price for run-in, admits he misread the play
Chiasson and then he took a draisaitl blast off the helmet in the same period

He's also Leon's buddy.
There is more to it than on-ice skills. Kahun seems to be a nice "fit" in the group.

I wonder what Tippett feels about Koskinen. Is he still the back up?
It is frustrating to those like myself who try to see the good in players and making the most with who we have. Even that game, Koskinen was playing well until that goal, but you cant let softies like that in the playoffs. The team shut down Montreal in that 3rd period and it was great to see. There should not have been that third goal.
I feel like Koskinen is probably better than Stalock but you have to go with Stalock. And of course, hopefully neither has to play a single minute in the playoffs

Interesting...No Mackinnon on there? I guess TSN was wrong at the beginning of the season when they declared Mackinnon > McDavid
