I think it’s even simpler than that. Our top line has to out-produce MacKinnon’s while shutting them down (or at least matching them).There’s no handing that assignment off to Backlund this time - the only players we have who’re good enough to nerf MacKinnon are Johnny, Lindy.
If they’re able deal with MacKinnon (and/or McDavid, if it comes to that) themselves over the course of 7 games, then they can win it all.
