Glendening might be the only player that can get the refs to call a dead puck anymore

A good bounce back win boys. Needed to come out strong and put their boot on Seattle and they did. Domi deserves all the kudos and money he's earning himself. I wish him all the best not only the rest of the playoffs for us but this summer earning himself his big money contract. Kid's earned it.

Second must win of the season complete. Would be nice to not get swarmed so much by Seattle but it is what it is.

Also if I'm Nill I'm making a decent offer to Hanley to continue to be our 7th dman. Guy is just money no matter how many games he sits out.

The thing I love about Domi and its why he was such a great addition is because he has game breaking abilities that weren't present in our lineup outside of Hintz's speed. He brings everything we needed more of/needed in general. Jim Nill absolutely killed it at the deadline
Also Harley has 4 points in 4 games in this series now.

You never hear his name, and to me that's perfect

He’s getting in the right areas and generating some dangerous chances with his shot and passing. It’s getting there, but he is snakebit right now. Liked him showing a bit of fight in that scrum in the 2nd too.
The thing with Robo is his play/skating style when things aren’t happening for him looks kinda lackadaisical, which is tough for him because you know he’s making an effort. It’s the playoffs and there’s never been any word of him being a bad teammate or giving less than 100%. Quite the opposite, actually. Think he’s in his own head a bit though.

Also I really don’t like the idea of fellas here attacking guys’ effort level from the couch where you don’t have a clue, so while I’m online- the 4-0 goal doesn’t happen without Robo winning a couple battles along the boards to get the around and back in front. He’s battling and getting greasy. That argument is losing weight.

Yup, it sure did hold true. Someday coaches will learn not to change a lineup in the playoffs after the team played a great game, no matter who it is. Bringing Bergeron back cost Boston their series, lets hope something similar happens to Seattle.

I like him too. Unfortunately he forces us to carry 8 defenders, if there are no moves in the offseason.
It will be interesting to see what Nill does with the defense. There is Miro, Lindell is a great anchor for a second pair, and then... not much.
Harley has looked very promising and could be a top 4 guy all of next year. But that pushes someone to their off-side (which I think is less of a problem than many).
You all know how I feel about Suter.
Hakanpaa, good bottom pairing guy and part of the Mafia.
Miller and Hanley, just dudes. Miller has higher highs and lower lows than Hanley, but neither should be given much more of a chance than a #6 role and spot PK duty.
If Lundkvist improves defensively over the offseason, which I think I trust to happen... then we might be set as is and need to do nothing but retain the current personnel. If not, if Nill really thinks Lundkvist isn't the answer, then he's gotta go out and get someone else.

Yea I have very little doubt that pretty much every guy is giving what they can. Sometimes you just run out and look tired, but they still do what they can.
There aren't a ton (none, really) of instances I can think of where blatant laziness affected the outcome of a meaningful game.

One of Suter, Miller, or Jani is gone. This defense needs a puck mover. Nils alone isn't enough. Even both he and Harley alone aren't enough to fix this team's defensive needs. I don't really keep up with the rest of the league so I have no idea who's UFA that's good, or a good trade target but they should be focusing on the defense with Stank and Bourque in the wings.
Personally I'd trade Miller and buyout Suter. These pairs probably aren't ideal but R-L being what it is without knowing who they'll could bring in.
Miro-?
Lindell-Lundkvist
Jani-Harley
Hanley
I'm trading Faska to make enough money available. Quantity of assets is a quality all it's own so anything beyond Stank, Bourque, and Bischel should be made available.
