If you look at how aggressive Carolina was in the neutral zone, Montreal had an answer every time.

It's a little pot play to the middle, breakaway, two on one.

High quality chance.

And I love what Rod Brindamore said when they asked him, did you think of pulling Frederick Anderson?

He goes, I wanted him to play.

He goes, he just had 12 days off.

He needed to practice just like the rest of them.

I agree, and I think it's Wedgwood.

I saw the likely projections, and it said Wedgwood, but again, nothing confirmed.

But in a tandem situation, you shorten the rope, and if Wedgwood comes in there and has an off night, and somehow Vegas is up two Cobb heading home,

Colorado's in one, and I think they're in one anyways just based on you take McCarr out of the lineup.

The lineup is completely different, and it's not just what McCarr can do.

It's what Vegas is smelling blood going, okay, let's pressure that D because they don't have a guy like McCarr, which nobody really does.

You know, 30 other teams are missing that, but you look at it.

Now they may not get out of their zone as clean.

Maybe McKinnon doesn't get that stretch pass in the middle where he's flying a million miles an hour because McCarr is one of the only guys on the planet that can make that play.

So if I'm Vegas, I see what Brent Burns has tonight.

I see what Manson and guys like that, and Malinsky's a really good player.

But they're not Kale McCart.

Make them play in their own zone and see how they dig out.
