    Mitts-Cozens-Okie just seems like such a heavy line to play against.  Opponents must hate them.  And all of them have a decent offensive hockey IQ so it's not just a shutdown line, it's a more of a scoring line with jam.

    It's where you realize that, yes, the GLO line was great and scored a tiny bit. But Okposo is capable of more, and if you take the Girgs-Larry and make them a 4, and bring Okposo up for more minutes it will all work out.  Mitts-Cozens-Okposo as a 2nd line isn't great, but it's a line capable of playing against the opposition's top line and winning the battle. Then you get a dynamic 3rd (Asp-Krebs-VO) and an energy 4th (Hayden-Girgs-Hinostroza to end this year, for example... although it's more likely Girgs-Eakin-Hino/Hayden) and you can see the progress being made.

    If ex-HCRaKru is reading this thread... you done messed up, RK. You were as inept as any Imperial Star Destroyer Captain.

    I sang party in the USA, I don't regret it. 

    Never regret a bit of Cyrus. They say Cyrus is the one and only. Can you dig it!

  2. That Mitts shift with 2:30 to go where he braced for the Spurgeon hit and sent him sprawling...  then stuck with the puck, then absorbed a retalitory charge from Kaprizov, then another crosscheck attempt from Spurgeon.... That was beautiful. That's the Mitts we love and need. Totally wish he'd have buried the empty-net chance he had. If Mitts and VO get back to what they can be, this is a legit up-and-coming team next season.

    Trade him for a pick in 2023! 

    As an RFA who should get a good paycheck but probably won't break the bank...  If you get a 1st? maybe. Plus, his salary is going to be necessary for the floor after Boychuk's contract expires. But I think a third line next season of Asplund-Krebs-Olofsson, with all three on special teams, isn't necessary a bad thing.

    Don’t you PUT that evil on me, Ricky Bobby! 

    The good Stafford. The one who was the first at Neil after his hit on Drury, and who was occasionally capable of a hat trick. But... more consistent than Stafford.

    The Wild DID NOT like losing to Buffalo.  
     

    Sabres did not back down.  Come from behind win. Nice. 

    Nor should they. We're still 2 easy points for any team out there.

    Or so their overconfidence will tell them.

    Great comeback. The lead going into the 3rd is something that really needs working on. Good teams are like 20-2-2 going into the 3rd with a lead. The Sabres are like 12-10 this year leading after two. With 8 more wins? We'd be saying the Sabres are on their way.
