I don’t understand the salary cap issues much at all and especially in the playoffs. Bra-zslow shouldn’t be in the line up at all. Nyquist is donzo. Vinnie and Ohgren are way faster than either of those two statues. Could see the nerves on Zeev, but his offensive uptick could almost warrant putting him at forward on this team in this position, I know, unheard of.
Boldy was lights out the best player on either team on the ice last night.
Hartman had a good game.
Spurgeon just isn’t built for playoff hockey at all.
Faber and Brodin seemed fine. Middleton was borderline ok.
Other than the one pass to Boldy KK’s passing just doesn’t work in the playoffs, especially against a team like Vegas. Foligno was a non factory. Trenin had a couple really good plays in the dzone. Freddy tries hard and was actually ok.
Hynes needs to get some speed injected into the lines and be done with the Brazeau and Nyquist. Don’t care what they traded to get them, get them out of the line up. I’d take my chances with Vinnie and Ohgren.
The only dman I’d put with Zeev is Brodin.
Gus wasn’t stellar but he was good enough to win. Can’t pin the game on him.
Vegas is a better, bigger, constantly consistent team. They don’t take stupid penalties, they are deep and yet can still be beaten.
Not sure what you do with Rossi currently? He doesn’t really fit in with any of the bottom 3 lines.
Not sure if KK will get a goal in this series. Will scratch out assists, but don’t see him being a goal factory against Vegas with the lack of space they are giving him.
Ek is the only net front guy we have and he isn’t able to take on the whole team in front of the net.
Congrats to Boldy and Hartman for good games. If the majority of the team doesn’t get off the wagon and start pulling or pushing this will be done in 4 or 5 games.
