I was so impressed with the tenacity that McDavid and Drai played with all night. Their battle to get to the net and get shots was incredible. I think I saw somewhere they had 14 shots combined. If Drai had scored on the spinorama at the end that would have been just an unreal finish. 2 much needed points regardless.

I am glad to see it as well. This is the stretch drive, this is the time guys need to ramp up their intensity level.
So far I think McD, Leon, Yamo and Hyman have all picked up their games.
Kane to me has been bringing it most nights.
JP took a bit but I think based on the last 2 games, I hope he's starting to ramp up his game. It looks like he is.
I feel like Foegele is starting to come on again. I'd like to see him get a few more mins, maybe elevate him to the 3rd line.
I think McLeod, Nuge, Bouchard, Barrie all need to pick it up a little. Nuge is coming off an injury so sometimes after the high of being back in the line up, there is a bit of a lull. I don't think Nuge has been bad but his last 2 games I thought he was pretty quiet.
I'd like to see Woodcroft just make a decision on who's the other right winger and who's on the 4th line and get them going. Brassard will be there, he's new so it might take him a bit.

McLeod from my view has taken his game up so many levels already. He’s exceeded all of my expectations.

From where McLeod started from to start the year, I 100% agree. He's improved a lot and looks like a legit player. I just think that with his speed and at 6'2, 207, there is more for him to give. He can at times be pretty invisible. As he continues to develop, I am hopefully that he will realize how big he is and with his speed could be a force. You don't have to drill a guy through the boards but no reason he can't be winning more puck battles and be harder on the forecheck. Use his big frame more to box guys out.
I just watch at how dogged Yamo can be at times along the boards and in the corners and he is giving up 6 inches and over 50 lbs on McLeod. I'd love to see McLeod be a little more like that.
