It’ll be interesting to see how Stanky responds competitively! Right now, swapping him him and Blackwell regularly seems fair… and unless other big changes, both out for Seguin.
Watching the replay of the Cizikas hit, you see him immediately snap his head around to see what an official might call (the ref was in the other corner). He *knew* what he was doing when he went into the corner with Bichsel.
RE: Johnston...it's unreal that he won't be 22 until May, and he's played every regular season and playoff game since the beginning of the 2022-23 season (221 reg + 38 playoff games)...he's only 21! We are watching the guy who will be the next "C" in Dallas.
Yeah, that's a win that makes you believe in people.
Great read!

Agree. Back and Steel have been really solid all season and have earned those spots.

Yep, he completely ignores the puck and goes straight for the hit. Dirty play that will come with a suspension
Will it? I'm not sure. National discourse seems to be leaning toward the Match penalty being sufficient, but we'll see what Gary does.
If they suspended Hockey McJesus how can you not suspend Ciczkas for such a predatory hit?
Then again the NHL is very inconsistent with disciplinary action. I just think it's pretty straight forward.
