Kuz takes it. 

That’s what he gets paid for.

Freddie deserved it hands down.

Svech, Aho  and Geuntzel had little impact, yet we took over at the end. Healthy depth is gonna help a lot this year.

Svech was playing hard and a good game imho, close to getting a goal several times.

So the big question. Does pytor get his shot or does Freddie keep rolling?

Pyotr will get a game in NY.

Svech had huge impact. He has 6 of our 26 total SOG. Aho was trying to hard and Guenz was actually quite(though he was playing solid D).

You don't mess with mojo Freddie and it's not even a real question.

Watch out next game - the Aho line will not have another off day

I don't think he will unless Anderson has a stinker you don't bench a goalie who and a .960% in the playoffs for you.

[PantherChris]

The sound doesn't do it justice

Yeah, participation trophy awards notwithstanding, we gotta score more than the other team. If they kick ass next game  maybe we send a message

For those watching the Bally broadcast here was Kuz postgame. 
 

for those watching the national broadcast here is Kuz from the bench. 
 

He chilled out a bit for the postgame on TNT/TBS. Also mentions perhaps retirement.

The best possible scenario is winning the cup and Kuzy and Staal retiring to give us the cap space we need.

Guentzel (re-sign) - Aho - Jarvis (re-sign)

Svechnikov - Trade - Teravainen (re-sign)

Martinooi (re-sign) - Kotkaniemi  - Fast

Nadeau - Drury (re-sign) - Noesen (re-sign)

Veteran FA

Slavin - Burns

Orlov - Chatfield (re-sign)

Skjei (re-sign) - Morrow

Veteran Free Agent

Andersen

Kochetkov

Anyone but Martin or Raanta

- Staal and Kuzy retire.

- Trade Necas and picks for a legit 2C. Maybe revisit Zegras, he had a great end to his season.

- Let Pesce, DeAngelo, and Raanta walk.

- We also need to figure out if we are going to re-sign Comtois, Suzuki, Burke, Tieksola, Murray, Coghlan, Mendel, and Smith for our AHL team.

-------------------------

With the departure of Necas, TT and Staal retiring, there's plenty of cap space. The first domino is Guentzel, obviously. If he doesn't want to stick around, I think the priority then becomes Necas, TT or finding yet another goal scorer.
