Above all else, that was a really fun game to watch. Both teams played desperate, fast hockey. I have to admit that McDavid and Draisatl are incredible right now. They are so dangerous every time they are on the ice (which feels like 80% of the game).

I know that I'm one of the oldest, most persistent Kylington fan boys on this forum, but I thought he had an epic game tonight. I described last game as "the biggest in his career so far", but I think that standard was reached again tonight. It was a dramatic night for him tonight - suffered a huge headshot, looked like his night (maybe his season) was over, and then came back to make a huge play on an important goal. Shades of Paul Kariya in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Mangiapane has really become a special player. His motor is relentless.

Lastly, this stretch of three wins is made all the more impressive by the fact that Tkachuk, Gaudreau, Giordano, and Andersson have all been very quiet offensively. Surely, at least one or two of them are due to break out of their slumps soon?
