  1. Toffees having a good game. Hasn’t been rewarded because of it yet.
  2. Would be good with both guys. Having 2 RH shots teams have to watch out for. Boeser would be good in bumper spot.
  3. Or he saw what to do and what not to do while watching him.
  4. Loui is pretty good at handling the puck. Didn’t he use to back up Mike Smith?
  5. Myers has been playing pretty decent in the O-zone lately. He might be due for one.
  6. Good period offensively we were shaky in our own zone though. Gotta clean it up.
  7. Hughes and Tanev hasn’t been good in their own zone as of late either. Need a mixup.
  8. I like how Loui is in and we decide to play shakier defensively
  9. Virtanen doesn’t even hit as much as Motte who’s half his size. Gonna need him to step up in that regard if he’s gonna be our Wilson.
  10. Hughes let his man go after tying him up and he scored.
  11. Not sure you can base them off of their last playoff round, they're not like the Leafs. Their last 3 of 4 playoff appearances they've made the finals once and the ECF twice.
  12. No I get your point. If we were a bit ahead in the standings I would want Demko to get more games to keep both goalies fresh and ready to go. We're in a weird division though.
  13. Even if Demko stopped that initial shot or it goes wide it allows the player to get in on the forecheck quite easily. You get in his way he has to go around you. You always see defenseman always locking up with guys right before reaching a loose puck on the boards, then the board battle ensues. It's a similar sort of thing just without that physical side and freezing the puck on the boards. Edler and Myers are good at locking guys up and making guys who have speed on them go around, allowing time for everyone else to get back on the back check. It's harder for Hughes because he is small but he has the skating to get in peoples way or even getting to the puck first and he didn't do that there and neither did Tanev. Middle of the ice was too open. Refs aren't gonna give you an interfering penalty if you're holding your ground.
