Quick hitter takeaways:
-The Jackets deserved the win
-Kuemper is human
-Connor Brown and Dylan Strome are a phenomenal additions to the squad
-The Protas-Strome-Mantha line was the best on the night. 58.82 CF% and a 9-2 shot advantage
-Connor Brown led the team with 0.24 ixG
-4th line doing 4th line things all night...nice!
-Ovechkin Bomb…will he score 50 again?
-People keep banging the drum for Lucas Johansen to be called up. He had two giveaways, one takeaway, 0 hits delivered, three hits taken, and no blocks. Overall, I am not seeing it yet
-Yegor Chinakhov for the Jackets is a dawg. Former 2020 first round "reach" is showing why the Jackets didnt hesitate to draft him in the 1st
-Johnny G looks weird in a CBJ jersey
Ill post again in a couple days. GO CAPS!
