Really looking forward to a full season of this version of Klapka. He's really found his game.

Speaking of revelations....Adam ####ing Klapka.

I had him pegged all wrong as a 'tweener. He looks legit.
They are finally using him properly. They had him as a grinder/goon at the start.

Iginla has really inspired Klapka! Turning him into a potential top 6 power forward is such an unexpected bonus from the GOAT flame.

Probably, but that doesn’t change anything I said.

Rooney is definitely one of those unsung guys that have given 100%.

He’s not fast but he’s smart and aggressive on the PK. Hes created a ton of chances with Rooney of all people.

Sometimes star players need to play the PK to stay involved in the game and get touches.

Iggy was a great penalty killer.

I sure hope the crowd gives the team a big standing ovation. They deserve it after the effort they put in this year.

I would be surprised if they didn't.

Trying to think of a top line example. Maybe he’ll be a Gillies or Bertuzzi. Not a lot of skill but enough to make a difference with elite players.

Well, they got 93 points...do they get some more to make Squiggs sweat his proclamation of 96 points?

He has a great stick on the PK.

I just hope they don't stick Klapka on the 4th line again next season.

Losing in OT would be a fitting way to end this season. Off a Kadri turnover.

Can you imagine the Wild lost in regulation and this ended a tie on that last goal being allowed? That would have been something
