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'm not sure what that shoulder to the chin did to Nuge or how those 4 games helped him, but his play is much improved since his return, his play is more engaged and agile, talking with teammates on the bench. It's like he snapped out of something.
I think for the playoffs, though, that 2nd line will eventually need either 29 at center or 13 on the wing. Probably gotta have a size element in there. I want to see Yams pot some goals and his confidence get up there. That line needs to be rewarded in general 5v5.

Hoping Yamamoto pots an ugly one soon and goes on a heater. He’s generating opportunities. Just needs some luck to go his way.

I don't worry too much about guys whose numbers are down as long as they're getting looks and doing the things to get those looks. Nuge is down but could easily be 5-10 goals, 15 pts better. KY significantly down but doing the work and getting chances. I'm here to say that Kahun shouldnt still be in the top 6 and still getting opportunities, because there's been a vastness of nothing in his game for most of the season regardless of who his center is, but I like his last 2 or 3 outings.
