Our 3rd back to back against a very rested opponent in the last couple of weeks, all without Stolarz. Good news is that this is our last back to back until after the International break. Other good news is that Philly sucks.

So we should probably still win this, though we're gonna need a decent effort from Hildeby most likely.

Hard not to be encouraged by how good Matthews looked last night, and of course that whole line in general. Otoh, the rest of the lines were pretty poopy. One thing i'm starting to think about is to juice the 2nd line with McMann in place of Pacioretty, just because McMann is looking so good and is so fast.

It would weaken the 3rd line a bit but given that I'm pretty sure Brad is going to be trading Robertson for a 3C anyways i'm not sure i care so much. Maybe maximize the top two lines as best we can in the meantime.

I think they’re starting to feel that Robertson is a key part of this team, and lots of room to grow. If they were still scratching him regularly, then he’d go by the way of the Lilly. Now, not so sure.
