He's like a ziploc bag out there. Everything contained.

I'm not saying he's been bad, he's been perfectly acceptable, but when I have to pick between him, Subban and Hamhuis, I'll take the latter two. Hamhuis is similarly good at keeping pucks contained, we saw that yesterday, but he's also really, really good at the breakout. Even more so on this ice surface.
Meanwhile Subban is Subban. If you're going to have a 7th guy, it helps if he's a game breaker and one of the biggest PP threats in the world...
Excellent PK shift from Nash.
