Keith and Ceci are not great in their own zone, but I find they’re decent at moving the puck up, and pretty good on pinches to keep it alive in the o-zone.
3 games in, Bouchard >>> Barrie. I’ll never understand not playing him last year to at least get a better look at what we had, if not help us in the playoffs. I’m not sour on Barrie. He’s still an NHLer, and the contract is not brutal. And even if Bouchard does supplant him both on the top line and PP1, he would still be great injury protection as a PP specialist at least. But crazy that not even 3 games in and a guy who couldn’t even get in to games a few months ago is well on his way to replacing one of our incumbent top pair D.
I love this forward group. Has to be the best set of Oilers forwards since the 80s. That top line is awesome obviously, but I still feel that with all the guys we have there would be ways to ice at least 3 effective lines. Jesse will be a stud. Hyman is way better than I remember seeing him in Toronto. He’s great. Kassian looking really good, even without the goals scored. Seems more engaged. And what about Turris? Someone give him a heart transplant in the off-season? Looking like a completely different player. Hope he keeps it up.
As for the goalies - not the best game by Smith, and another one by Koskinen high glove. If this is the tandem we’re going into the playoffs with, I think we’ll need to outscore our problems as often as not.
Anyway - 3-0! Yay!
