I’d like to see the Nugent-Hopkins line against the Habs. I feel that they are going to be too small, but I like what they did in their first 2 games.

I totally agree with you. That line looks really good right now. Everyone of them on that line has had golden opportunities. I think Yamo is snake bitten and in his head as he's had the most. I think a big part of that lines success is Nuge has probably played his 2 best games easily this year. I wonder if the game Tippett decided to reunite McD and Leon and he started rookie McLeod not Nuge as the second line center that was the wake up call Nuge needed as he's been very good since. But I do wonder if a line where Nuge at 6'0 184 soaking wet is the size on the line can function in the playoffs. That isn't just against the Habs but in general because playoff hockey slows down, it gets meaner, nastier and the refs let a ton of stuff go.
