What is this now, attempt #9 at winning 3 in a row?
Please just win. I assume Jarry gets the net again.
Wonder if we send Pickard down to bring up another forward rather than continuing to play one short up front.

To be fair we've both only won 5 of our last 10 too.

I know that it wasn't the toughest of competition that we just beat handily, however two shutouts and a compete level from this team that we don't typically see...
And I have to point out... there was no shortage of scoring and effort, and who was out of the lineup?
I've moved between being a big fan and big detractor of Draisaitl's game over the years, and this year he's been back to his substandard play. The points have been there... absolutely, but he's almost always slow on the backcheck, slow to complete a line change, the first to show bad body language when things aren't going his way, and that rubs off on the team. Connor busts his ass almost every single shift, is quick to get off on a line change, and demands excellence from his team. He leads by example, and so does Drai. To me, it's no surprise at all that the team has looked better with him gone the last couple of games.
I know that Leon is gone for personal reasons and I'm not writing this to heap more negativity on his pile... but I'm hoping Leon takes a moment while he's gone to realize that THIS TEAM GOES as he and Connor go. He has to be a leader, not a lazy example for the team to emulate.
