Happy with the win but I feel a bit concerned about the team all of a sudden. They’ve faced a ton of adversity already what with the ridiculous travel before December, the whole team getting wiped out by covid around Christmas, and then the crazy condensed schedule they faced in March having to make up all of those lost games. Despite all of that they’ve been consistently good and really healthy too - how many games in a row did they just roll out the same 6 defencemen and not even have to think about it. But all of a sudden Monahan is done, Lucic is fading fast, Jarnkrok is out, Kylington is out, now all of a sudden Gudbranson and Zadorov are scratched…this is not the time of year to start breaking down. I just wonder if “everything”, including the demands of Sutter, is starting to show its weight.

Hahaha. You're right. Lewis scored. Top line was a beauty. Gudbranson and Zadorov weren't scratched. They're going to get a few games off here in the bottom end if the team is winning. A long playoff run depends on them and Darryl knows it.
