1. First Line Svech

Rod FINALLY did it!

Andrei Svechnikov was moved to a line with Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen midway through the game against the Arizona Coyotes.

How did it work out, you ask? Both Svech and Aho nearly got hat-tricks. Svech walked away with 2 goals and an assist, as did Aho. Teuvo registered an assist, and all was right with the world.

This line combination is easily the most lethal in the NHL, and should be stuck together like glue until production falters. Many of you may say this takes away our depth, but it absolutely does not.

Ryan Dzingel, Martin Necas, and Erik Haula are still solid guys down the lineup. Brock McGinn, Warren Foegele, and Justin Williams are as well. Nino Niederreiter is underperforming (understatement of the century), but if he comes around, our depth is that much more solid. To this take, I say let us enjoy this while it lasts, naysayer.

I (and several others) have been saying it all season, and Rod finally gave it to us, the madlad.

It only took 54 games. Better late than never, eh?
