Nico, Timo, and Luke were all fantastic tonight. Especially if he has to defend the opponent’s best forward by himself. If I’m an opposing coach, I structure my lines such that my top scorers are on the ice with Nemec and Smith as much as possible. It’s a de facto power play.

Nico, Timo, and Luke were all fantastic tonight. Nico, Timo, and Bratt all at the top of the card. That line was just clicking tonight. Timo's goal was awesome. Nico winning a battle and getting the puck to Bratt. Bratt with the patience to allow a scoring chance to develop. Timo finding the soft spot in front. Exactly what you want from that line. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fantastic, hard working line. Perfect mix of finesse and strength out there in the offensive zone. Makes one wonder why they weren't given a chance to do this with regularity earlier in the season... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmigliore Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 9 hours ago, Nicomo said: Funny store with this one... as I live on Central time, games typically start "early" for me (6pm, 6:30pm) so I'm normally having to watch on delay after the kiddo goes to bed. I started watching this one on delay pretty late via Hulu instead of the ESPN+ app but at some point midway thru the 2nd period my feed kept reverting back to the beginning of the period when I tried to skip thru a commercial break (and I couldn't skip forward to where I originally was). Ugh. By then, the actual game had been over so I figured I'd just switch over to the ESPN+ app and watch the actual replay from where I left off... but unfortunately the only replay feed available at the time was the Spanish broadcast. It was getting late so I'm like fvck it, we'll just go with that. Even though I could only comprehend about 20% of the commentary (probably less), it was fun as heck. I like Steve Levy but I'm 100% listening to the Spanish broadcast next time we get a Sean McDonough game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagknife Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) Smith is such an integral part of this organization. His leadership and on ice skill are irreplaceable. We better give all young defenders time with him in order to properly develop their game. He gets robbed annually for the Norris Edited March 27 by jagknife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely don’t but wouldn’t surprise me that they push an uneducated Lindy/Fitzy-fueled narrative Also, remember when Sean McDonough had an expression/tone other than channeling Ben Stein?
