You're getting these players to contribute.

So Marner did his.

He's a point a game through the regular season.

Eichel is a top five player forward in the league, doing their things.

Their Ds in a series are...

the best D-core in the league, in my opinion.

Like the Hannafin, Rasmussen, or Anderson, Theodore, and McNabb.

It's as good as the top four you're going to see.

and that's where it's like okay are we gonna get goaltending and that's the next step here carter hart like who had seen him come out and be the best goaltender in the final 60 maybe freddie anderson there but it's looking like it's uh it's teetering there a little bit but like you're getting all of these players in now performing above and beyond plus you have

Stone and Eichel, all your horses, Marner still doing their things.

It's so hard to match up against when you don't just have to contend with McDavid and Dreisaitl or McKinnon and whoever Nietzsche is running mate.

You're looking at all these other players now.

scoring the key goals but you're still getting the contribution you're still getting the players in contributing so like okay we're down three nothing marner comes out he has two helpers now we're within one goal now your depth pieces are coming in and adding the third or the fourth and like you

That's what it takes to win this time of year.

It's very, very hard for one line to get it done all the time.

Your power play unit to win you all the games.

Can it happen at times and in games?

Of course, and it does.

But you need other things, other players to step up as well.

And in Carter Hart, Houghton and Dorothea, you have three players here.
