I'm hoping to see Hogs on the 3rd line next year with Pods (and an affordable and reliable 3rd line centre). If Allvin can't grab a top line winger for Petey then we could try: Garland - Miller - Boeser UFA/trade- Petey - Joshua Hogs - UFA/trade - Pods --> Only need 1 or 2 year C until Raty is ready Mik (if we can't trade him) - Suter - UFA Lindholm is too pricey to keep for 3rd line C, and putting him with Petey moves one of them to the wing, which i don't think will work long term as IMO Petey is overpriced as a winger and needs a bonafide scoring winger if he's at C.

Yep that's what i was thinking. Since we'll have last change tonight i'd like to see Tocchet load up two lines and spend more time in the offensive end. Something like: Garland - JT - Boeser Petey - Lindholm - Joshua Hogs - Blueger - Podz (Garland-Blueger-Joshua lite ) Mikh - Suter - Lafferty the first two can play 20min each with 10min to each of the bottom two lines.

Petey - Lindholm - Hoglander --> Swedish mafia Mik - JT- Boeser --> maybe Mik gets going ? Garly - Blueger - Joshua --> best 3rd line in hockey PDG - Suter - Lafferty

And with home ice advantage !

i'm fully expecting the first 5min major of our POs to be called against us early to "set the tone" and it wont compare to some of the uncalled cheapshots we've seen thus far.

All season long we heard Tocchet say he wanted to meet pressure with pressure. None of the second half of the game resembled that... it was all bend and try to not break.

That's what i was thinking. This year's team has exceeding expectations and is ahead of schedule for being a cup contender. Winning the division, experiencing some adversity, and this playoff experience will go a long way to defining this team, it's culture, and teaching our young core what it takes to go all the way.

Would love to see that line next year. I'm expecting Podz to be next years Hogs (breakout player), and Hogs to take another step upwards.

Thats for ringette. It's 3-on-3 below that at each end.

Tom Wilson? I wonder what he'd cost now. Would love his physicality in the playoffs.

Sorry to hear that. Always tough to lose a good boy/girl.

You sure about that? Didn't Dubas get fired for playoff failure ?

Take a gander at the +/- Never seen that before.
