Smith made a lot of great saves, he's looking good.. D still figuring it out, but getting better.

Man E. Kane is exactly what McDavid has needed since he's been drafted.. the guy just puts the puck in the net, whether its a snipe, hack & whack, backhand, forehand, or tip he puts the puck at the net.. plus the speed and hockey IQ to keep up with the play of McD, his hits and physicality makes extra breathing room for McD.. and he flat out intimidates opposing players.. no one even looks at McDavid sideways when he's on the ice.
If Bison could match a few of those skills that line would be unstoppable, and McDavid would have 200+ points per season. I think Bison has a lot of room to improve, stopping on pucks, using his massive size to his advantage, and his shot! Hopefully he works on those in the off season, if he improves in those areas he could be a major threat.

Archibald really improves that 3rd line, the missing ingredient.. has puck smarts, speed, physicality, excellent on the PK.. great addition for the playoffs.

Keep it rollin' boys!

The thing about Kane is that he's using a measured amount of being nasty. He has the sense so far to keep much of what he's capable of in his hip pocket. I think as far as JP goes, he just has to have a way to play second fiddle to the chemistry between McDavid and Kane, and what those guys can do on their own. He's getting better with timing and physicality, and making his touches meaningful each game. As long as play doesn't die with his touches, I'm good.

I think we're seeing chemistry and confidence develop down the lineup, among players who guaranteed have defined roles in which they can succeed. Could be pretty huge for this club in overcoming the big obstacles and setbacks that no doubt lie ahead.
