Is Schwartz amongst the HM's for you? Missed the game but saw him mentioned as playing well.

I had the same three, in the same order.

Schwartz was basically interchangeable with Berglund for me, with a small gap after those two to the next best player.

Definitely. He was really jumping early, especially. He was basically interchangeable with Berglund and probably Lehtera for me. Berglund just had more chances and a couple more noticeable defensive plays - and did so with less from his linemates.

 

[TK 421]

Ok, thanks for the appraisal guys. Nice to hear Lehtera helped create some chances. Not surprising to hear about Berglund for me. I've seen him making more authoritative defensive plays this year and he was already a strong defensive player to begin with.

Yea, I love the way Berglund has played for the past several games. It's good to see him do it against bigger teams like LA and Florida, too, instead of just smaller, weaker teams like the Islanders.

 

[BlueDream]

Tarasenko, Shattenkirk and Schwartz were the 3 best players out there.

HM to Pietrangelo and Ott.

 

[LGB51]

Thought the actual 3 stars for the game should have been Frank, Shatty, Bergy.

But I just voted for:
1.)Frank
2.)Shatty
3.)Schwartz (based off it being Schwartz's tip-in for the GTG.)

 

[Dbrownss]

I have

Tarasenko - obvious
Schwartz - Dude was a water bug out there
Backes - we went down by 2 and he put his work boots on and started destroying anything in a white Jersey. This is the Captain I want to see.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

I went Tarasenko, Berglund, Backes.

I was glad to hear Hitch talk about it in his presser about how great David Backes' game was today. He really turned it on tonight and just started physically dominated the Kings.

Schwartz
And you know what, what the h***, I'll give one to Ott

 

[2 Minute Minor]

I was trying to remember who the poster was in the summer that was most vocal about hating the Ott signing and kind of perseverating on what a mistake it would prove to be. I kept finding myself painted as an Ott apologist when really I think my position was just, "Eh, you're over-reacting. He could be good in 4th line role with some versatility for injuries...and maybe some of his mistakes after the initial trade had to do with trying too hard and not really understanding the system very well."

Is that guy gone from the site now, or just decided that Ott's play is acceptable.

I don't want to see him centering the top line in the playoffs again, but I'm pretty happy with our 4th line. Lapierre in particular is really setting up some good chances. If he had an actual scorer on the line with him, I think he could be about as effective as Sobotka was in the top 6. Reeves and Ott bring the physicality and intimidation that you can feel through the TV. I know opponents have to hate facing that line.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

I think Ott, when used properly, has shut up a lot of his destructors. That includes me. I still don't like his salary or when he is moved to a scoring line, but he's definitely proving himself to be a useful player. He's definitely playing well with Lappy and Reaves. That line is a quality fourth line.

Shatty and Berglund had great games, too.

 

[SirPaste]

Frank Shatty and Backes. Loved Backes's game last night, he was a wrecking ball out there, I've missed him playing like that
