There's credit to John Hines.

As somebody pointed out here,

let's go wild pick says in the chat, Heinz did an excellent job with his lines today.

Yes, he did.

That is spot on.

Um, and that was a key factor for most of the game.

It was the Eric Sinek line matching up against McDavid and his line.

And then on the other side, because there are two superstars that are on the Edmonton Oilers.

It was the Brodine Spurgeon defensive pairing, matching up a lot of the times against dry cycle and his lung.

Um, they, they, uh,

clearly had a very specific game plan today, which was limit those as much as possible.

Throw as many pucks on that as possible.

but also it's the depth scoring your, your point about on the, on the guys who are kind of coming out of nowhere, raising the expectations guys that we, we on this show have, have ragged on multiple times, Marcus Johansson.

He's having a heck of a year for a guy making $800,000.

I didn't think at this point in the season, if you would have told me on day one of the, of the season that I would be displeased with him, I would have slapped you across the face.

Danila you're off.

He's having a heck of a year, too.

I mean, we kind of saw the lack of confidence by the coaching staff in him now on the third line today, according to the line sheets.

But in terms of how he's been playing recently, that line has been buzzing with Trenion and Tarasenko.

And those are two other guys right there who I think have a massive impact on why they've had success recently.
