McLeod is due. He’s getting close to tucking one in. He just needs to do the things that got him here. He looks off the puck when he gets in tight.
McDavid carried us into the playoffs. Love this man. Ticket punched. Montreal? Toronto? Winnipeg? When 97 is flying like this, this team can beat anyone.
Let’s make some playoff noise!

Fortunately, not a lot of heavier teams to play here. Montreal played us hard, but they're not huge. Toronto isn't either.
The thing I'm interested to see this year in the playoffs is how Tippett adjusts to deal with the strategies others employ to shut down McDavid.
McLellan really failed at that against the Ducks in 2017 - but McDavid is probably harder to stop this time around too.

I have been trying to spin a positive narrative regarding Tippett's line management. He is not scared to double down with a McDrai line from time to time. He has went back to the DRY line a few times in recent history. He infuses 97 and 29 on the 4th line once in a while. McDavid and Draisaitl have experience playing with the majority of the lineup.
In theory, Tippett should be able to have a multitude of in game management strategies to free up his star players. Can the coach pratically apply the theory in-game?
I would say no at this time based on the past, but he has shown the capability to think outside the box. Here is hoping Tippett's game management steps up it's game for the playoffs.
