Coleman too. I’m excited to see what he'll look like in the top six and with some PP time.

That Tkachuk play has made my confidence grow exponentially for the rest of the season. Give him however much money he wants.

Agreed.

Gratuitous penalties are the only thing that has given their opponents a chance.

5 on 5 they've been simply dominant.

Progress of the play. Play was in progress. The time was still running. Wasn't out.

Mangi and Tkachuk have been great though IMO.

Except setting up the only goal

[Enoch Root]

After 4 periods of hockey, Mangiapane has been an all-star so far

[Robbob]

I missed those Eakins death stares.

[Knightslayer]

Tkachuk was a beast that period. I think he thrives when there are fans.

You mean whacking the puck down?

[DoubleK]

Solid road period. Totally outplayed to start and got stronger as the period went on.

4th line is terrifying. I miss Derek Ryan.

Good home period too.

Nah, if they're going 1-3-1 put Rasmus on a half wall

Ryan sure did us a solid for pushing to get him out of the Canes organization and paying him handsomely.

What a dick.

[---Hatrick---]

Johnny is looking much more comfortable tonight with the puck. Gusbranson looking reliable with the nice stick lift

[Enoch Root]

Gus Brandon? that's a keeper

What a dick.

That doesn't even make sense.

He was the best player on the ice, IMO.

[ForeverFlameFan]

I know it's only 4 periods of hockey thus far into the season, but Gudbranson has looked OK. Maybe still not 2m but definitely not a liability.

Also, loving the Coleman addition already. He's going to be a fan favorite. And Mangiapane continuing to be Mangiapane. What an underrated player. Still isn't noticed enough around the league.

For real though, Tkachuk's swat to keep the puck from going out was a straight up great play. Tkachuk doesn't kill penalties. He just kept Backlund on the ice for the PK. Never seen that before, but it's hilarious and awesome.
