Jason York

But the sneaky answer, I'll give you two players.

One is Shane Pinto, who I think's had just an outstanding year, two-way player.

I think he should be in the conversation.

shortlist for Selkie this year.

That's how good he's been.

Wow.

He, he, his, his, what you've seen his numbers, they're off the charts, the analytics, the matchups.

There's been games where he has not gotten an offensive zone start, like always starting in the D zone, tough matchups.

To me, he's really, really important.

And the other guy,

is Michael Amadio.

Really?

Sneaky, sneaky good.

But same thing.

When you watch the Sens a lot, like I do, those two guys have got the matchups all year.

And if you look at how good this team's been defensively, there's one thing that sticks out.

Those two players, and Nick Cousins is on their line right now, they get the hard matchups, they shut down the other team's top players, and they're just two guys that don't get talked about enough.

Really, really smart players.

Under the radar, sneaky, good defensive players.

I think Kipper as a player, you know, you always want to do well in the playoffs.
