   Strome back on the first line is good.

   Bench Kuzy permanently and let Lappy take over as 3C.

3. _SCHULTZY_ 9 months ago

   Milano out. Wilson and Ovechkin are game time decisions.

   Someone else needs to step up big and score some clutch goals tonight. It would be a great night to see the blueline contribute more.

4. GrandMoffmanTarkin 9 months ago

   Feels like it’s been forever since we last played

   Don’t sleep on the kraken. We seem to struggle with young, fast teams.
