I understand why Dan keeps Gorges with Risto. They know one another, and definitely have chemistry. It allows Kulikov to look after Bogosian. It allows us to keep Gorges and Franson, our two slowest d-men, apart.
But I want to see Kulikov play with Risto so bad. Risto played what was probably his best 5 on 5 offensive game so far. He made 3 or 4 sick passes from below the goal line that could've been assists. He seems to be a pure playmaker, I hope he can improve his goalscoring. I want to see he and Kulikov dominate 5 on 5 shifts together.
