Post-Game Talk: We only need five players

[3IR]

Despite me being a pretty vocal defender of koskinen, smiths performances since the new year, and this one especially have him solidified in my head as the goalie we lean on going into the playoffs and the stretch to make it there.

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Mike Smith was on point tonight. Needed that win badly.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Jones and Larsson had a bonkers 75% Corsi that game, only 4 of our players were above 50

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Hrudey must be sick to his stomach rn.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Smith was great. Winnipeg threw everything at us. Drai and Nuge were great. Liked Ennis too. McD is not his usual self.

 

[Cloned]

Honest question: is Draisaitl a generational player, and is he better than McDavid?

 

[replacement]

Winnipeg needed those points so much more. They were starving dog on a bone desperate.

We won though so, see you next time.

 

[Heavy Dee]

Draisatl >McDavid

its only been a few games but Ennis looks better than AA. He gets to the gritty areas and has a better IQ in my opinion. Think AA gets moved down the lineup when Yamo is back?

 

[nexttothemoon]

Points in 15 of the last 16 games for Smith in net.

He simply finds a way to get it done.

Smith was huge, some incredible stops, he's in playoff mode.

He stopped like 7 or 8 incredibly high danger scoring chances tonight. Maybe even more.

I think AA will be good here. It'll take a bit to get some bad habits ironed out and get his drive back.

OfCorsiDid is officially undefeated when attending games at Rogers Place.

Big win. Huge game from the massive German.

Undefeated in the new Draisaitl jersey era too!

 

[fireantz]

I thought PRussell and Khaira were effective on the forecheck tonite. I suggest Khaira steal one of Drai’s big blades and maybe he scores!

 

[Skolman]

Need AA to get going, he hasn't been doing much out there the last 2 games.

Yes I know, 2 games.

 

[Not Canada Drai]

He stopped like 7 or 8 incredibly high danger scoring chances tonight. Maybe even more.

POSSIBLY OVER 10!!!!

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

Anri Sugihara if anyone is wondering.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Honest question: is Draisaitl a generational player, and is he better than McDavid?

No, McD is nowhere near his usual self. Drai is a beast though.

 

[BlackDogg]

Absent Athanasiou

Honest question: is Draisaitl a generational player, and is he better than McDavid?

No

 

[Messrules11]

Man do those 2pts look good. Smith is killing it lately.

 

[NegativeNelly]

I'm not a Mike Smith fan but good to see no weak goals tonight and he stole the game IMO.

Right now he is the best player in the world,that can change quick but you got to give the guy credit
