They were going into last night.

Now, Wyatt Johnson got a goal, but Kirill Kaprizov and Stankov were the only two winners from guys under 6 feet.

And why that's important is...

You know, that physical game you see with Montreal, it's been tough for Caulfield and Suzuki to find space.

So when it's heavy hockey, your reach is kind of a real extra edge.

That's how Nicholas Hoa scored the overtime winner for Colorado in game two.

And I think, you know, that's something to keep an eye on.

The themes or threads early in the playoffs are a lot of overtimes.

Youth, you know, obviously Utah, Philadelphia, and now the Ducks.

And the size of the people that are kind of owning the rink so far.

Because penalty minutes, Aiden, are way up.

During the regular season, it was two teams combined for 18 minutes per game, Pimms.

I couldn't agree more.

We're all saying that.

You know, he was a captain of Canada, so you know that he's got great hockey sense.

That's the thing when I sit with Kevin or Luke or Kelly watching him play, they're just stunned at the maturity of his game in terms of, you know, the little details.

So I would say Owen Tippett has had a bit of a breakout this year.

You're right, Vladar, they all think we'll win the Bobby Clark Trophy, which is the MVP of the Flyers.

I think Couturier, their captain, has had a real bounce back.

He had kind of vanished there for a couple of seasons, but he's been just tremendous.
