I imagine McDonagh would be put on the 2nd unit. I'd rather have 25 minutes of Hedman and 25 minutes of McDonagh + one of Stralman/Sergachev with each other. It'd be a filthy combo.

I think Tampa wins this by a bit.

Lets just make the team topheavy because that’s what all Champs do, right?

bag of pucks still has more value

That top line...reminds me of games back in 2010/2011 when the Bolts would be down a goal in the 3rd and you'd see Vinny, St. Louis and Stamkos jump over the boards together! You couldn't HELP but stand to your feet because the potential was so high for something to happen! This top line could have that type of potential!

Enough nostalgia....with Sergachev's high and always improving offensive skills...wouldn't you think he would benefit from being on right side to set up the one timer from the blue line and give him a better angle for long stretch passes down the middle? I'd like to at least see cooper give him a look on the right side. Love the lines.

That first line...
