Give some love to Otter for leading this team into the playoffs and beyond.
Georgie doesn't speak too good of English, does he? But a shutout. WOW. Earlier in the game hear Carboneau & Jiricek gang up on Goalie De Pietro. That would have ben a special game.
Dean must be the #1 Center. Head him called out a lot
Congrats to the T Birds.. w/future Blues
He's the 2C. Been playing good and is on the PK and 2nd PP.
Yes sir! It is good that the top line won this game. It’s great to have scoring from at least two lines. That was a beautiful rush that was executed slyly and at speed.

What's the story with our goalie Romanov?
Does he have a future on the big club? He was outstanding.
The Blues signed Romanov back in October a day or two after they lost Ellis to waivers. He spend the last 2 years in the Sharks org getting a handful of games with them but they declined to sign him a qualifying offer and then nobody else signed him either until the Blues came calling right as the season was starting.
He’ll be a Group 6 UFA this summer. Probably doesn’t have a future with the Blues but he did steal the starting spot from Zherenko in the playoffs. Zherenko is also a pending Group 6 UFA. My guess is the Blues will try to keep one of them. But I could also see one or both of them head back home to Russia. He’s been good here down the stretch but I doubt the Blues would want to slot either higher than 3rd on the depth chart.
I feel like Ellis is getting screwed. He was buried by the Sabres as the 3rd goalie and didn't get to play very much at all.
The kid probably has some sort of future as at least a #2. He just needs to play.
Romanov looked great and was the first star. His English is hilarious.
The ones that stood out for me was Thomas #18 and Jiricek.
Dube looks good and Dean was in the mix.
Jiricek and Romanov looked great
I don’t think it’s a given that Carbonaue makes the team.

The Springfield Thomas is also #18? I'm not sure if it was on purpose but pretty funny if so.

Ellis will likely be their #2 next season. My guess is they look to trade UPL this summer.
And while he hasn’t been playing much, I bet he’s ok getting paid $750k in Buffalo instead of $175k in Springfield.

I think they are related.
Robert and Akil?
I see now that he just didn't want to type Pekarcik and it is actually Juraj that wears 18.
