Its interesting that Larsson looked OK against McD. But on the worst McD night of the season, and wherein for some reason McD's head space wasn't in showing up his former linemate. Drai, and has line had no such limitation and were hard on Larsson the entire game. It was an interesting juxtaposition, and moreso because it seems as if Larsson and Drai might have had more than a relationship, but that ends when the game is on.
But heed that this is one game. and this is early in the Seattle set. Non competitive teams can typically row hard for a little while, until the icebergs increasingly appear on horizon and they sink. Whats it boing to be like then as the Kraken navigate the ocean depths in their chosen domain..
The moment I saw yesterday and will remember is Keith, who wanted to come here, and that already has 3 cups, coming here and being part of the joy and scoring a goal and reveling in that moment of again playing alongside great players. Of him embracing Drai, and vice versa as if they had been playing together for years.
To wit this is not just a good team. This is a team with two generational players on it that comes along rarely. This is Keith, a part of a dynasty, now playing with some better players than he's ever played with before.
