Disagree with Chelios, Dahlin passes his man to Metsa

Looks like Power missed the block and Dahlin got torn between Finne and the late entering player which caused him to back a step up thus freeing up Finne

Kozak is now a 1st round pick in 2021?

He’s Jekyll and Hyde Either he’s one of the best stick handlers on the team or the absolute worst

***** you Gibson ***** you post

How dare they both leave

As of now: Benson and Doan are key contributors. I'm not trading either. Dahlin, our captain and 1D. I'm not moving him period. Thompson, he's a 40 goal scorer with a 7mil contract, he's a key component as a winger or center; I can't exactly picture a good deal involving him If I can find a way to keep Tuch, I will because he's a high level player Norris, well I like him but he's always hurt so I have hard time deciding on him Power, I'm keeping him barring some legit 1C trade. He's a good player, a weak defender but offensively very competent Zucker I'd let finish off his contract; solid vet McLeod, great 3C that in a pinch can fill as a 2C for a short time (in particular a short time) Byram, Kesselring and Muel; when healthy have their uses but not married to any of them Kulich, good enough, open to an upgrade but not interested in just trading him for the sake of it. Timmins, so far so good UPL, let's see how he is when he returns but I have little faith in him barring a return to his 23-24 form Quinn is just short of being a guy I'm good with just ridding ourselves of

Angry at loss Bad 1st Solid to Good 2nd 3rd was effectively mini versions of the 1st and 2nd. Quinn was ugh almost every shift Power is either good or bad every shift, never level Proud of the boys for fighting back against some dirty plays on Dahlin Never play both Geetsen and Dunne again, especially not at the same time.

Actually Evans made a kick save there

He heeled it, bad turnover but a genuine mistaken attempt versus dumb play. Benson stirs the drink that is the PP

Has Quinn received or sent a pass once without it being muffed tonight?

Quinn has had a rough game thus far; ugly passes in skates and to Canadiens

PP has looked good for 2 games thanks to Benson’s return and a complete departure from idle passing and hoping Thompson puts the puck through the goalie, net, boards, and the unlucky fan in the 1st row.

In my opinion he's improved his defensive play to a degree which does damper some degree of offensive output. Plus, he's played in 2 consecutive Finals so I'd guess wear is starting to hit him. That being said, like Crosby his stats will falter and spike for another 11 years probably.

Tuch hasn't been world beating but he has been improving since Game 1 Thompson always takes time to get going with goals; he was very active today and even threw his body around a few times. I'm concerned on Tuch's contractual future but to me Thompson isn't someone you touch, great contract and a great player.

It wouldn't be 1 for 1 but in regards to team impact we both lost our 1C. They lost a 1W we lost our 3/4D

Frankly its hard to say, both are chaotic manufacturing machines. Doan has been solid at worst all year and Benson has been great both games he's played.

Bennett tried but failed to run Dahlin,

Poor Benson, that puck somehow missed 3 people

End of their shifts, little energy

Power!

There should be but I won’t hold my breath

Pretty much and I believe so Guess the perk of being the defending champs.

So far we are seeing the team we wanted to see in this game; pressure on the puck and quick up the ice

Doan with the knee
