    that Toffoli trade bust thread is not aging well, lol

    Never understood that talk at all... the team was in a dogfight for the playoffs and Brock was going to be out for a while.

    The TT trade was a confidence booster from mgmt to the team to send the msg that they believed in them.

    If that trade hadn't been made any GM would have been lambasted had they not made the playoffs.

    DeBoer didn’t change his twister in Vegas 

     

    I agree the size is impacting us but we had zero defensive structure all year when Marky saved us ... and we had size in the lineup defensively then

     

    it does not matter how big we are on d, when we are cluelessly skating around it won’t help 

     

     

    5 of our 6 D either bobble the puck consistently, or take too long to make a bad or predictable pass.

    Sure but, Marky can and does make a million saves. Getting the goal with the drive JT showed woke everyone up and made them believe. This was obvious.

    Not discounting that at all.  JT's goal sent a msg to the team that they can't sit on skill/finesse to take over... gotta get dirty and earn it which they did in the 3rd.

    I was responding more to the comment that seemed to underestimate the impact of having a Marky hold the fort on the back end.

    Yup. Wonder what St. Louis team shows up Friday. Wish I was more stoked on these wins but they just feel almost accidental. Little one off individual efforts. 2 breakaways for Tyler Motte? What the hell? Virtanen spins around and hail mary's one high and inside and it goes in... Miller's goal was all will and effort. He's a beauty.

    Still, without crazy solid goaltending we'd be in tough. Late out there ain't it?

    But this is a young team learning.  The way they played in the 3rd was so impressive (especially down Edler), like they finally stopped watching the defending champs and took it too them instead.
