New lines for tonight
Weissbach Frederic Wagner
Zimmer Malone Johnson
Freytag Baker S.Dhooghe
Hurley Hughes J Dhooghe
Tischke Ess
Kalynuk Linhart
Davison Inamoto
Berry
I thought top 2 lines listed looked really good, especially the Malone line. Zimmer had his most impactful game from the ones I have seen. Great to see Johnson get one, he had been kind of invisible for awhile. Weissbach had some great looks on that line. The Baker line had some moments, though Dhooghe was quiet until that little scrum behind the net, then he woke up it seemed like. I feel bad for Hughes, he hasn't got it going all year and that line was a little ho hum.
Kalynuk looks like he will be the 2nd coming of Sean Hill (there's a kinda old reference for ya!, a more recent would be McCabe maybe, but McCabe was no Sean Hill), I like that he's a take charge on the rush D, the only thing is be careful and not try to do too much, though as along as the F cover for him, bring it on.
Berry did a great job, only victimized by a loose puck in front and a screen shot. He played some mad scrambles very well, maybe had a little luck which a goalie needs occasionally.
PSU had a lot of better looks than UW did, but sometimes they didn't connect, though the danger was very evident. I really do hate them, but their style of play is wide open and very flowy, I like it. They always seem to have 6 skaters on the ice. There always seems to be a late O zone entry guy open (bad D by UW?).
The lads are basically in a playoff mode now, there is little margin for error, but play loose (kinda) and fast lads.
