Haven't had a chance to read the whole thread yet but seriously the top line needs to match the intensity of the Avs top line. Right now Mackinnon is BY FAR the most lethal offensive player in this series based on chances. He has found another level and our top line hasn't. You can look to your depth to win you a game here or there but at the end of the day you need to play Johnny Hockey 19+ mins and give him a chance to shine on the big stage.
Brodie was terrible tonight. Awful. Literally worse than Stone/Prout/Kylington would ever play. 3 awful giveaways. At least peters recognized this and moved Andersson up but in my opinion the guy shouldn't even see the ice in Denver.
Bring the intensity in Denver and we should be okay.
