Lol. Get this man a 2nd line.

 

[ASmileyFace]

If this team wastes MacKinnon's best hockey of all time I will be sorely disappointed. Please go get this team a real 2C

 

[henchman21]

The top 10 of this stat is super interesting...

MacK - 80
McDavid - 59
Pasta - 58
Point - 58
Mittelstadt - 57
Kucherov - 55
Stutzle - 55
Rantanen - 54
Marner - 53
Crosby/Robertson/Drai-52

One of these things is not like the other

Only Toews is pacing for 40+ pts beyond the big 3 + Nuke. Not ideal.

 

[RECKLESS]

Damn! The start time against the cats today is 11pm over here.
I need to be carefully conservative with the alcohol consumption early on tonight or I won't make it to the second period lol.

Drouin is on 44 point pace, and before Lehky got injured, he was on 50 plus point pace. This team just needs a 2C and Lehky back healthy

If Landeskog were healthy and they were able to land a competent 2C they really wouldn't be THAT far off from the cup team. It's too bad.

If Landy comes back even if he’s playing on bottom 6 because he missed so much time, and Kovalenko possibly making the team and producing, I think the Avs will be deeper than the cup team up front, and this is of course if they do get a 2C. Just so many question marks right now

Playing 1 of the best defensive teams tonight. with one of the best pk's.

Gonna be a test to score 4

That's only enough to get us 1 point. We need 5 to get 2 pts.

Yes, Drouin is helping and Lehky will help. *If* we get help from Landy and Kovy we might only need a 2C.
