Good. They get enough "Original Six" calls.

FLA seems to be Bettmans favorite lately though 

They got alot of bad calls in the Tampa series also

Florida power plays thru 4 games: 21

Boston power plays thru 4 games: 11

That being said, Florida is playing Boston's game better than Boston.

The Dallas-Colorado series is just fun to watch. Not a lot of penalties nor stoppages. They're up & down the ice; very fast games for both of them.

Oettinger has been very good so far while MacKinnon and Makar are not getting to their game.

What's Ironic is Tampa got several goals taken away, by bad Goalie Interference calls, where Bob wasn't even contacted 

Isn't there an old saying if it keeps happening its no longer a coincidence

Fun game last night.  Defense on both sides really was good.

Shesterkin is the only reason the Rags don't get swept. NY is just terrible against Florida.

Florida wins all the 50/50 puck battles, board battles and NY's physical approach is like a bug hitting a windshield.

Oh, and Martin Necas is having one great tournament at the IIHF World Championships for Czechia. Had a 4pt game today (1G, 3A) in the semifinal to get his team into the championship game against Switzerland tomorrow (2:20PM).

Canada and Finland play in the bronze medal game (9:20AM).

Both games on NHL Network.

Do you know if he is playing center or wing?

Center.

And he looks very fluid and quick as ever after a full NHL season. Gotta admit, he looks more comfortable operating in the middle of the ice.

Maybe this was a showcase???   Let Rod know I CAN do this.  Him taking over for KK would be sweet

I haven’t seen him playing center? He’s being centered by Kampf with Kubalik on the other wing.

Even the Czech Republic’s lineup shows him at RW.

I saw him in the middle with Kubalik and Pasta on the wings yesterday. I don't have NHL Network, so I'm only seeing the highlight reels.

Well, I read Kampf went to the room yesterday with an injury, so maybe they changed up?

I could be wrong, but it sure looked to me like he was playing center.

That was just momentarily. On the first, second, fourth, and fifth goal, Necas was playing RW.

Great game last night. These are two elite goalies going at in Igor and Bob. This would have been us if Freddie didn’t allow so many softies.

So true - can you imagine how good the Canes would have been these last few years with an elite goalie
